Route Signals with the ART Pro Audio P48 48-Point Balanced Patchbay

The P48 simplifies connecting and re-routing signals in a studio or live rack.

• 24 Channels of Linked Input/Output Pairs
• 1/4-inch TRS Connections
• Switchable between Normal and Half-Normal Operation per Channel
• Passive Design - No Power Required
• Fully Shielded Steel Enclosure
• 1U Rackmount
• Reversible Rack Ears

It’s a 48-point patchbay, which means there are 24 channels of linked inputs and outputs, all with balanced 1/4-inch TRS connections.

Each channel can switch between normal and half-normal operation. In normal operation, connecting the front output will break the connection between the rear input and output. In half-normal operation, the rear connection remains unbroken so the signal can be split to a second destination.

It adapts quickly and easily to a workflow. Unlike some patchbays which require that channel modules be physically flipped, the P48 has a button on each channel to change between normal and half-normal operation.

It also features a shielded 1U steel chassis, a passive design so no power is required, reversible rack ears, and high-quality connectors for long-term reliability.
