Need to seamlessly connect all of your AV equipment in the recording studio? Then you need a patchbay.
A patchbay is a piece of hardware that routes audio, video or data signals. A vital part of any pro or home recording studio a patchbay allows all studio gear to be centrally controlled by one device, so you never have to climb under your desk again.
Eliminating manual connections, a patchbay can manage multiple devices simultaneously, helping to protect your gear. Imagine what a hard hit all of your studio gear would take if you had to constantly manually plug and unplug connections!
If you’re just starting out with your home recording studio, patchbays might look intimidating with all those inputs and outputs, but once you start using one, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
