The PBR Series, Black Lion Expertise at the Heart of Your Audio Flow
Designed by Black Lion Audio to preserve an impeccable signal path, the PBR XLR 32 DSub is part of the renowned PBR patchbay line known for its reliability. Compared to the 16-point PBR XLR, this model
doubles the routing capacity and adds rear
DB25 connectivity, ideal for interfacing a console, audio interface, or external rack while minimizing cable clutter.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The PBR XLR 32 DSub is aimed at professional studios, ambitious home studios, post-production, and broadcast environments that demand robust and rational connectivity. It allows quick interconnection of preamps, converters, compressors, and effects, reconfiguration of setups in seconds, and maintains optimized cable lengths for exemplary signal integrity.
Hybrid XLR/DB25 Routing, Speed and Reliability for Daily Use
Optimized Connectivity
The 32 front XLRs (16 inputs, 16 outputs) provide direct connections for rack or stage devices, while the
4 rear 25-pin D-Sub connectors following the Tascam standard streamline multipair connections to your interface or console. Gold-plated contacts minimize oxidation and ensure stable connections; lockable XLR outputs secure critical hookups.
Professional Construction and Signal Integrity
The black anodized aluminum front panel and reinforced steel chassis absorb the stresses of intensive use. The DB25 connectors are mounted on an
internal steel rear plate to prevent wear from frequent reconnections. The result: a patchbay built to last, with transmission quality meeting modern studio standards.
