The Korena take

A 48-point 1U TRS patchbay for routing balanced line signals in a rack. For studios tired of recabling behind the desk.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Studios routing outboard gear without reaching behind the rack
  • Balanced line-level connections between interface, preamps, and processors
  • Racks where connections change often between sessions

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Speaker-level or high-current signal — 1 A rating only
  • Guitar pedalboards and other unbalanced instrument-level routing
  • Anyone with no rack space or shallow rack depth

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

48 points

24 top-and-bottom pairs. Each pair is one signal path in and out, so plan channel count before you buy.

Detail 02

TRS jacks (balanced)

Carries balanced line signal over long runs with less hum pickup than unbalanced connections.

Detail 03

>100 dB crosstalk at 1 kHz

Adjacent channels stay isolated, so a loud signal on one point does not bleed audibly into its neighbor.

Detail 04

>10,000 insertion cycles

The jacks tolerate daily repatching for years before contact wear becomes a problem.

Detail 05

Steel housing, ABS connector shells

Steel takes rack knocks and cable pull; the plastic shells keep contacts isolated inside.

Detail 06

483 x 44 x 71 mm

Standard 19-inch 1U front, 71 mm deep. Add cable bend radius behind it when checking rack clearance.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No patch cables included — you need TRS cables for both rear and front
  2. 02Measure rack depth plus room for rear cable bends before ordering
  3. 0348 points fills fast; count your gear's ins and outs first

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01How many pieces of gear will this handle?

48 points is 24 pairs. Each stereo device with an input and output typically consumes several pairs, so count both directions when planning.

02Can I use unbalanced TS cables with it?

TS plugs fit the jacks physically, but you lose the balanced connection and its noise rejection over the run.

03How much rack space does it take?

One rack unit in a standard 19-inch rack, 483 mm wide by 44 mm high, with 71 mm of depth behind the panel.

04Will it degrade my audio?

It is a passive connection point. Crosstalk exceeds 100 dB of isolation at 1 kHz, so channel-to-channel bleed is not audible in practice.
