CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, USA: Black Lion Audio is proud to announce that it is accepting pre-orders for its innovative PBR 8-500 — an all-new eight-slot 500-Series rack power supply that builds upon the success of its PBR-8 predecessor by readily redefining flexibility for creatives with a fully-integrated, patented patchbay, duly designed to offer limitless routing options without the need to reconfigure hardware, making it an essential tool for on-the-go and studio setups alike — as of October 31…
As an all-new eight-slot 500-Series rack power supply with a fully-integrated patchbay, PBR 8-500 allows its users to effortlessly manage and reroute signals through their 500-Series modules, bypassing the need for tedious re-racking, thankfully. The front panel-positioned TT/Bantam patchbay features fully-balanced inputs and outputs for each slot alongside the two built-in mults — MULT1 and MULT2 — to deliver a host of easily accessible routing options. On the face of it, users will experience unparalleled creative freedom — whether auditioning a signal chain, splitting outputs for parallel processing, or connecting to external racks. Simple stereo linking of compatible adjacent modules comes courtesy of pressing rear panel-positioned LINK buttons, while internal jumpers offer more advanced linking configurations.
Clearly, Black Lion Audio’s extensive expertise in modding and designing audio equipment have informed PBR 8-500’s power supply design, ensuring that it provides stable, low-noise power across all slots. Saying that, each channel benefits from isolated power regulation, reducing noise and crosstalk between modules. Meanwhile, offering 400 mA per rail per slot and a maximum of 1.6A per rail overall equips PBR 8-500 with what it takes to handle the most power-hungry setups with the greatest of ease.
Ending on a road-ready high note, PBR 8-500 features gold-plated XLR, DB25, and TT connectors for superior signal clarity, all housed in a rugged, black-anodized aluminum chassis design optimized for heat dispersion, delivering both durability and peak performance.
Available for pre-order as of October 31, 2024, PBR 8-500 should start shipping through Black Lion Audio’s growing global network of dealers/distributors (https://www.blacklionaudio.com/dealers) with a MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) of $899.00 USD and an SSP (Suggested Selling Price) of €1,199.00 EUR (including 19% VAT) in mid-November 2024.
