Black Lion Audio has announced that preorders are now available for the PBR XLR 16F DSub for studio cable connectivity.
It is a 16-point female XLR/DB25 patchbay designed to alleviate cable management difficulties, while also adhering to high audio fidelity standards, the company said. The patchbay allows engineers to connect up to 16 microphones to mixers, audio interfaces or outboard hardware in a single rack space.
The device has 16 gold-plated female XLR connections that Black Lion Audio said are designed to deliver consistent audio quality “throughout the entire signal path.”
On its rear panel, two DB25 connectors mounted to an internal steel backplate provide connectivity for mixers and audio interfaces.
The PBR XLR 16F DSub is housed in a reinforced steel chassis, which the company said ensures durability for daily use while still maintaining a refined aesthetic.
Custom patch labels are included, with additional labels available at Black Lion Audio’s website.
The company said the patchbay will list for $349 USD.
