## Overview

The Samson S-Patch Plus is a professional-grade 48-point, fully balanced audio patch bay featuring front-panel miniature toggle switches for Normal, Half-normal, and Thru operation modes. Housed in a rugged 1U metal rack unit, it streamlines signal routing with 1/4-inch TRS connections, eliminating the need to access rear ports and ensuring clean, reliable audio flow for any studio environment.

## Description

Samson’s S-Patch Plus is a versatile patch bay that provides a centralized and convenient hub for all your audio connections. With 48 fully-balanced patch points inside a single-space rack unit, it adds nearly unlimited signal routing options for a multitude of use cases, from managing recording signal flow to patching effects chains. The miniature toggles allow you to change the behavior of each individual patch point pair as-needed, and since they’re on the front panel, you’ll never have to reach around the back to make connections again. S-Patch Plus puts control for your studio’s signal flow right in front of you.

Review: Beefy and Easy to Use - This is my first patchbay and I'm quite pleased with it. For years I've been crawling around behind the racks in my small studio wiring and re-wiring gear every time I want to reconfigure my signal chains. But no longer will I be covered in dust bunnies and spiders, thanks to the S-patch Plus. This thing really is a game changer, especially for those of us less experienced with what can be a rather confusing "simple" tool- it's well built and packs a lot of common-sense functionality into a small space. The best part about the S-patch is the freedom it gives you to choose Normalled, Half-normalled or Thru functions with the flip of a switch on each input-output pair. This is really convenient, especially if, like me, you're new to patchbays and want to experiment with functionality and signal chain options. The switches are sturdy, as are the jacks and the metal casing of the unit itself- no cheap plastic or thin faceplates here. I've noticed no loss or degradation of signal when tracking or mixing with the unit and I've found the signal flow diagrams printed on the top of the casing to be very helpful as well. My only complaint is that the unit doesn't come with Rack Screws, which isn't a huge deal, but it would be nice. It does come with stick-on rubber feet in a little bag, which I'm not using because I have it racked but they would be nice if you had this sitting on a desk. Additionally, some folks have commented on how there isn't much room on the face of the unit for labeling each channel. This is true, but that's the price you pay for a single rack space size unit. I got around this by purchasing a 2 foot long, 1.5" wide, 1/8" thick strip of aluminum at the local hardward store for 3 bucks. I used a jigsaw to cut it to ~19" long like a standard rack unit blank. I drilled out holes in the ends for screws and mounted it just above the S-patch on my rack. Then I stole my wife's labelmaker and created stick-on labels for each piece of gear connected to the patchbay, and stuck them vertically to the aluminum strip. This plate can easily be removed to access the diagrams on the top of the S-patch when you get confused on what the heck-swoggle "half-normal" means. One word of caution, especially if you're new to this: while any TRS bay will pass phantom power from a preamp to a mic, you run the risk of "hotpatching" your mics if you plug in cables while the phantom power is engaged. This can really damage your preamps. If you're really careful, you can get around this by simply never patching a live mic, but this is always going to be a gamble, especially if you're like me and your brain is in 67 places at once during a session. So while it's tempting to put all your preamps "behind" the bay, it's better run the output of each pre to a channel of the patchbay which is then normalled to your interface / board. For example, in my studio if I want to plug a mic into an outboard preamp, I use the following chain: Mic --- xlr patchbay (much safer for phantom than trs) --- Preamp --- S-patch channel normalled to line input on my interface. This means that my mics always run directly to my interface via my outboard preamps UNLESS I break the normal via patch cable. Any phantom power thus flows to the mic from the preamp "ahead" of the S-patch. Remember, phantom power flows the opposite direction of mic signal! Overall, I'm very happy with the S-patch and I already can't imagine my control room without it. It's also already full, so I'll likely buy another soon.
Review: Honestly, yeah. WAY BETTER THAN BEHRINGER - I had 2 Behringer patch bays but one was already losing good quality connection on only the rear ports which are the most important. I love that the Samson has the switches in the front versus the top. It makes switching normalled connections to half or thru so much easier. I used to have to need to unscrew the racks but this thing is very VERY solidly well built! What I also enjoy is the TRS rear inputs are extremely enforced. I can really tell that this patch bay was worth $50 more than the behringer. I still have a second behringer patch bay and hopefully it lasts but if it truly doesn’t, I’m ordering a second Samson!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why would you bundle unbalanced cables with a balanced patch bay?**
A: The Samson S-Patch works with either balanced or unbalanced cables.  I use one of mine with unbalanced cables to route various instruments into different mixer inputs. Works well.

**Q: Since this has stereo trs connections, to patch out to a 16 channel mixer, does an 8-trs to 16-ts snake work for l/r mono channels?**
A: the question is unclear. "8-trs???"  "trs to ts??????" but if you're trying to split 8 trs circuits to 16 mono ts circuits, then you need eight 'trs to ts' splitters.
i can't draw a circuit on this forma but if you can read a circuit, find someone who can draw one for you. good luck. sorry not to have answered your question better.

**Q: How does this compare with the behringer ultrapatch pro px3000?**
A: Behringer switches are on top (Hard to get to when mounted in a rack)
Samson's switches are on the front for easy access.

**Q: Can I use this with an insert cable, and retain the cable's insert fubction?**
A: That should still work ok. Best thing to do is TRY IT.  You wont harm anything.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solidly built, the front switches are a big plus
*by C***L on August 3, 2022*

The first thing that impressed me when I took it out of the box was how hefty it felt. It feels like a sturdy piece of gear. And while most of us probably don't ever need to change normal settings after installation, having the switches on the front is a very nice touch. The switches themselves feel reliable, set low enough to avoid accidental switching, and the force required to throw them feels satisfying. And regarding their everyday purpose, the patch cables go in and out very cleanly. The connection feels very solid indeed. My only quibble is the scribble strip area is relatively small. I was able to print labels, but the type size is necessarily small. A very fine product!
