CB Electronics’ XPatch-32 is a 32x32 digitally controlled, fully analogue audio patchbay routing system for audio professionals and aimed at streamlining workflow in demanding post and music studios.
The XPatch-32 system is controlled by our XPatch-32 program via USB, allowing complex routings in seconds. Create, store and recall routings from sessions. Any input can be sent to multiple outputs. The XPatch-32 design is based on the A-Mon/I-Mon and shares the I/O and CPU cards, allowing for input and output muting and even gain control.
The front panel is equipped with two XLR combo connectors for input XLR line-level/quarter-inch jack DI input, plus two XLR output for quick auditioning of equipment. Also included are quarter-inch jack for headphone monitoring of inputs and outputs, OLED display and encoder with push button for function selection. In addition, there is a quarter-inch jack socket for a switch to step through snapshots (presets).
Once configured, XPatch-32 can operate independently of the XPatch-32 program and host computer via the front panel encoder or foot-switch. By switching between snapshots, the foot-switch enables the XPatch-32 to be used as a powerful studio or live performance tool for musicians.
In any studio, the XPatch-32 can make it quick and easy to use your favourite new and legacy hardware effect’s units in a mix. The XPatch-32 is a versatile stand-alone analogue routing/switching system for on-stage boutique instrument processing or amplifier selection.
