Purpose-built for modern studios, the PBR XLR 16F DSub allows engineers to connect up to 16 microphones to mixers, audio interfaces, or outboard hardware in a single rack space without compromising signal integrity.
Studio-grade connectivity
Accessible patching is only part of the equation. Drawing upon years of experience refining professional audio equipment through its renowned modification service, Black Lion Audio engineered the PBR XLR 16F DSub to deliver exceptional audio quality throughout the entire signal path. 16 audiophile-grade, gold-plated female XLR connections ensure maximum conductivity, signal clarity, and longterm reliability.
Built for demanding workflows
On the rear panel, dual DB25 connectors provide a clean, efficient interface to mixers and audio interfaces. The connectors are securely mounted to an internal steel backplate, protecting against wear and tear from reconnections. With the PBR XLR 16F DSub in place, engineers can make the required connections efficiently and focus on the session at hand.
Black Lion tough
The PBR XLR 16F DSub is housed in a reinforced steel chassis with black-anodized aluminum faceplates, delivering durability that stands up to daily professional use while maintaining a refined, cohesive aesthetic alongside other Black Lion Audio gear.
