XLR patchbays aren't exactly particularly complicated items, but this one is fine for my home studio needs. Seems sturdy and enough inputs for my preamps & mics, which is the reason I got it. Was in the rack quickly as the unit body is a little bit less that 19" so no squeezing was necessary. Enough room below the XLRs to put labels which is good (I do this so that I know which XLR connects to which preamp otherwise I forget!).
I don't use it for anything else than patching mics to preamps, as other non-phantom powered patching is done with a 1/4" TRS jack patch bay (don't use 1/4" TRS jack patchbays for patching mics as the phantom power will make contact with the TRS bits as the jack is inserted).
Anyway, not exactly a heavy duty user, but pretty sure it will get the job done...all for a reasonable price! ;-)
