Route your 500-series modules in any order – from the front panel, without re-racking. The Black Lion Audio PBR 8-500 is an 8-slot 500-series rack and power supply with a built-in, fully balanced TT (Bantam) patchbay. It fits eight modules into a 3U rack-mount enclosure that is at home in the studio or on the road.
Why customers choose it
Who it is for
500-series owners who want to audition and change signal chains quickly, mixing engineers who use parallel processing, and studios that want a rack-mounted 500-series hub that also travels.

FAQ
Do I have to put modules in signal-chain order?
No. The front-panel patchbay lets you route any slot to any other, so module order in the rack does not matter.
Can I use two modules as a stereo pair?
Yes. Adjacent modules can be linked with a button press.
