Black Lion PBR-TRS BT
Configurer
The Black Lion PBR-TRS BT is a highly innovative 46-point (often listed with 94/96 total jacks) TRS patchbay that ingeniously integrates Bluetooth connectivity into a professional analog routing matrix. Designed by Black Lion Audio, a company globally respected for its audiophile-grade modifications of studio and recording equipment, this unit serves a dual purpose. It acts as a flawless analog routing hub for your outboard gear while elegantly solving the modern problem of seamlessly injecting digital audio streams from mobile devices directly into your analog mix bus without compromising fidelity.
The foremost feature of the PBR-TRS BT is its uncompromising commitment to pristine signal integrity. The patchbay is loaded with nearly 100 audiophile-grade 1/4" TRS connectors that are entirely gold-plated. This heavy gold plating fundamentally prevents oxidation and corrosion caused by studio humidity and frequent patching, ensuring absolute maximum conductivity and zero audible signal degradation over years of heavy use. On the digital side, it sports a custom Bluetooth receiver module heavily modified by Black Lion Audio engineers. Armed with top-tier codecs and high-quality converters, it treats audio streamed from phones, tablets, or computers with the respect required for professional production and reference mixing.
Mechanically, the patchbay is built to withstand the rigors of the most demanding studio environments. It features a rugged, black-anodized aluminum faceplate that delivers both extreme durability and a sleek, sophisticated aesthetic. To maximize routing flexibility, Black Lion has included highly convenient mode-switching buttons located on the rear panel. These buttons allow engineers to instantly configure individual channels for fully normalled or half-normalled operation without the need to unscrew or physically flip internal circuit boards. The unit fits perfectly in a standard 19-inch 1U rack space and ships with a sheet of front-panel labels for perfect studio organization.
