Black Lion Audio PBR TRS3 LIT

The Black Lion Audio PBR TRS3-LIT is a robust 48-point TRS patchbay designed for demanding audio routing, featuring a fully customisable LED display, 96 audiophile-grade gold-plated 1/4″ TRS connectors for exceptional conductivity and signal clarity, rear-mounted mode switches for unparalleled routing flexibility, and a durable, studio-grade construction built to the highest professional standards.

Customisable LED Display for Precision and Clarity

The PBR TRS3-LIT eliminates the guesswork often associated with complex studio routing through its innovative, brightly illuminated LED display. Each front-panel connection point includes a fully customisable 12-character display that allows users to label and organise connections clearly. Users can easily customise the display by connecting a USB keyboard directly to the patchbay or by using the included PatchCAD software to create labels on a computer and export them via USB. This makes it effortless to achieve a clean and professional studio setup without the need for physical labels or markers. The display can also be quickly turned off with the touch of a dedicated button, ensuring adaptability for any workflow or aesthetic preference.

PatchCAD Software for Enhanced Functionality

The PatchCAD software provided with the PBR TRS3-LIT offers a straightforward solution for creating custom labels and configurations. Its intuitive, spreadsheet-style interface allows users to type out desired connection labels, export them to a USB drive, and instantly upload them to the patchbay. This streamlined process ensures that the PBR TRS3-LIT integrates seamlessly into any studio environment while offering a level of organisation unmatched by traditional patchbays.

Uncompromising Studio-Grade Connectivity

At the heart of the PBR TRS3-LIT is its focus on preserving superior audio quality throughout the signal chain. Black Lion Audio has drawn upon its extensive experience in upgrading and refining professional audio equipment to design the patchbay’s 96 gold-plated 1/4″ TRS connectors. These connectors maximise conductivity and ensure precise, noise-free signal transmission, making the PBR TRS3-LIT an essential tool for interconnecting preamps, compressors, equalisers, and other outboard gear in the most demanding studio setups.

Unmatched Routing Flexibility

The PBR TRS3-LIT simplifies even the most complex routing configurations. Its rear-mounted three-way mode switches allow users to choose between Normal, Half-Normal, and Thru operation for each channel. This versatility makes it possible to execute mults, parallel processing, monitoring, and bypassing with ease, providing limitless options for signal flow management. The patchbay’s intuitive design reduces cable clutter and enables users to quickly reconfigure their studio layout without sacrificing efficiency or organisation.

Durable Construction for Professional Environments

The PBR TRS3-LIT is engineered to withstand the rigours of daily professional use. Black Lion Audio constructed the unit with a reinforced steel chassis and black-anodised aluminium faceplates, combining robust durability with a sleek and sophisticated aesthetic. This road-ready build ensures reliability in both studio and live settings, making it an indispensable tool for professionals who demand equipment capable of enduring heavy use without compromising performance.

Additional Features with PatchCAD BLA Edition

In addition to customising the LED display, users of the PBR TRS3-LIT gain access to PatchCAD BLA Edition, a versatile app that also allows for the creation of printed labels for traditional patchbays. This feature ensures that even studios equipped with a combination of modern and conventional patching systems maintain a consistent and professional level of organisation.

The Superior Choice for Studio Routing

The PBR TRS3-LIT stands as a testament to Black Lion Audio’s commitment to innovation and quality. Combining exceptional audio performance, unparalleled routing flexibility, customisable displays, and rugged construction, it redefines what a patchbay can achieve. Professionals seeking reliable, cutting-edge equipment to optimise their signal path will find the PBR TRS3-LIT an indispensable addition to their studio setup.
