Samson S-Patch+ – 48-point (24-pair) balanced patch bay with front-mounted mode switching in 1U

The Samson S-Patch+ is a 48-point (24-pair) balanced patch panel designed to centralize and organize all your studio connections. With 1/4" TRS connectors on the front and rear and 3-position mini switches accessible from the front panel, you can instantly change the behavior of each pair without removing the unit from the rack. It offers the three classic patchbay wiring modes: Normal , Half-Normal and Thru , providing flexible and reliable signal distribution for interfaces, preamps, compressors, EQs and external effects.

Its 1U metal chassis for a 19" rack guarantees durability in fixed or mobile installations, maintaining a clean signal path thanks to its fully balanced design. It's the practical solution to streamline routing, reduce connector wear on your equipment, and work more quickly and efficiently.

Main features

• 48 points / 24 pairs with balanced 6.35mm TRS connectivity on front and rear panel.
• Front switching by pair with 3-position mini switches : Normal , Half-Normal and Thru .
• Format : 1U 19", robust metal construction for continuous use.
• Flexible operation : configure each pair independently without internal jumpers.
• Balanced design to preserve signal integrity and minimize noise.

Product benefits

• Order and speed : centralize connections and change routes in seconds from the front.
• Less wear and tear : Avoid constantly reconnecting the back of your equipment.
• True versatility : three modes per pair to copy signals, interrupt chains or leave direct routes.
• Professional Integration : Balanced TRS standard on both panels, ready for studios and backlines.

Modes of operation (summary)

• Normal (Normalled) : The top row is automatically routed to the bottom row; inserting a patch before it breaks the routing.
• Half-Normal : like the previous one, but allows you to take additional signal from the front without interrupting the original route (useful for splits).
• Thru (Non-normalized) : Each connector operates independently; there is no internal path between rows.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How many “real” channels does it offer? 24 paired channels (48 points). Each channel is a pair of top/bottom jacks.
• Are the modes changed with jumpers? No. They are selected with switches on the front , pair by pair.
• What connectors does it use on the back? 6.35mm TRS , the same as on the front.
