CB Electronics XP-Relay - Digitally Controlled fully analogue audio relay patchbay. Control analog audio routings right from your computer with the XPatch control program or standalone. The XP-Relay is designed for use switching between Microphones and Mic Amps, or passive switching in a Mastering Chain.
XPatch is designed to replace a physical patch bay, for use switching between Microphones and Mic Amps, or passive switching in a Mastering Chain.
However, the electronic versions cannot pass Phantom. It is possible to implement a smaller digitally controlled patch bay using relays. The new XP-Relay range is designed to satisfy this market and is available in 4 sizes:
• 8 x 8
• Stereo 8 x 8
• 16 x 8
• 16 x 16
All units are housed in a 1U rack mounting box and include a 48v linear power supply with remote controllable phantom switching on every input. A configuration setting will enable/disable the phantom completely on any input(s). When Phantom is Off there is a direct connection between input and output. When Phantom is enabled there is a blocking capacitor between input and output to isolate the 48v.
Up to 4 XPatch or XP-Relay units can be controlled by the XPatch4 software which allows units to be combined in different ways including using two units as stereo pairs, for example two XP-Relay 16x16’s can be controlled as a single stereo 16x16 relay based patch panel.
Mac/Windows GUI
The GUI includes in/out matrix, paths, Equipment List, Metering, Snapshot screens. The GUI communicates with the XP-Relay via USB.
Updates include Stereo paths, Shortcut Keys, Gain Control, Undo/Redo for Paths and Equipment List, Independent font size for Matrix and paths, Help in French and English
