Overview

Unleash creative signal routing with this premium 500-series rack.

The Black Lion Audio PBR 8-500 is an 8-slot 500-series rack and power supply that revolutionizes signal routing with its patented front-panel patchbay. Designed for maximum flexibility, the PBR 8-500 eliminates the need to constantly rearrange modules, allowing you to route and re-route signals effortlessly. With balanced TT/Bantam patching, stereo linking and gold-plated XLR, DB25 and TT connectors, this rack is built for engineers who demand precision, versatility and reliability—whether in the studio or on the road.

Unparalleled Routing Possibilities

Unlike traditional 500-series racks, the PBR 8-500 features a fully integrated TT/Bantam patchbay, offering unlimited signal flow customization. With dedicated inputs and outputs per slot and two mults for parallel processing, you can easily split signals, audition different chains or send audio between racks—all without repatching cables. Need to link adjacent modules for stereo operation? A simple button press makes it happen, with internal jumpers available for advanced routing configurations.

Stable, Low-Noise Power for Superior Audio Performance

Black Lion Audio leveraged years of hardware modification expertise to design a quiet, reliable power supply for the PBR 8-500. Featuring per-channel power regulation, it ensures that noise and crosstalk from one module won't interfere with another. Each slot receives a maximum of 400mA per rail, with an overall capacity of 1.6A (1.8A non-continuous) per rail, providing ample power for even the most demanding modules.

Rugged Build With Premium Components

Built to the same high standards as Black Lion Audio's renowned patchbays, the PBR 8-500 is made for durability and long-term reliability. Its black-anodized aluminum faceplate gives it a sleek, professional look, while custom-tensioned TT connectors and gold-plated XLR, DB25 and TT I/O ensure maximum conductivity and signal clarity. The chassis is strategically ventilated to optimize heat dispersion, keeping your modules running cool and stable.

A 500-Series Rack That Works for You

With eight stereo-linkable slots, built-in patching capabilities, and a clean, isolated power supply, the PBR 8-500 redefines what a 500-series chassis can do. Whether you're tracking, mixing or experimenting with creative signal chains, this versatile, road-ready rack is designed to enhance your workflow and elevate your sound. No more re-racking—just endless creative possibilities at the push of a button.
