Art Pro Audio P16 - XLR Balanced Patch Bay

Works flawlessly

Does exactly what it says on the box. Neat design, clean looks good and works perfect for a decent price too.

Well constructed, solid unit at a good price

This 16-point XLR patchbay delivers reliable performance in a straightforward, no-nonsense design. The build quality is solid - housed in a sturdy 1U rack chassis that feels substantial without being overly heavy. The front and rear XLR connections are robust with good grip, showing no signs of loosening even with frequent cable changes. The normalling scheme is well-implemented, with clear labeling that makes signal flow easy to understand. The parallel wiring configuration is particularly useful for studio applications, allowing flexible routing without introducing unwanted noise. The gold-plated connections provide excellent signal integrity, and I've experienced no degradation or interference across multiple patching scenarios. Installation is straightforward, though the depth might require some planning in shallow racks. The unit runs cool and doesn't require any special ventilation considerations. The spacing between XLR connections is adequate for most cable types, including some of the bulkier premium cables. While the price point is higher than TRS alternatives, the professional-grade XLR implementation justifies the cost for those needing balanced connections. The only minor quibble is that the front panel labeling strips are a bit small - you might want to use additional labeling for complex setups. For studios, live sound installations, or broadcast facilities requiring reliable balanced patching, this unit hits all the right marks.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Great bit kit

Great quality product - as advertised.

Silenziosa e senza colorazioni al suono ... un ottimo prodotto per il prezzo alla quale viene venduta. Utilissima l’opzione reverse delle alette di montaggio rack .. avevo giusto appunto necessita di avere i jack OUT avanti e non dietro come quasi tutte quelle in commercio, sono bastati 5 minuti e un cacciavite a croce, tutto risolto !!!

Cuando estuve en busca de unir un cuarto para grabar y otro de control, las posibilidades eran comprar un snake o mandar a hacer uno. Si lo compras sale muy caro y si lo mandas hacer sale en más de 20,000 pesos mexicanos. Cuando ví este producto no lo dudé ya que es justo lo que buscaba y por un precio razonable, el único pero que le pongo es que sí colorea la señal, pero por el precio es muy recomendable.
