Black Lion Audio PBR LIT: Get Lit with Digital Patchbay Labelling

A Smarter Way to Label Your Patchbay

Patchbay labelling might not be the most glamorous part of a studio setup, but clear and accurate routing information is essential when you’re working with complex signal paths. The Black Lion Audio PBR LIT takes a fresh approach by replacing conventional markers and labels with a customisable 1U LED display designed specifically for digital patchbay labelling.

Replace the Markers with Digital Labels

Instead of writing, printing or replacing physical labels every time your studio routing changes, the PBR LIT lets you update your labelling digitally. Connect a USB keyboard for quick edits, or use the included Patchcad BLA Edition software to create and manage your displays.

This makes the PBR LIT particularly useful for studios where patchbay configurations evolve regularly. Change the routing, update the display and keep your studio documentation visible and easy to follow.

A Mode for Every Patchbay Layout

The PBR LIT features four dedicated display modes designed around common patchbay formats. Mode 1 supports 48-point TRS patchbays, Mode 2 supports 96-point TT patchbays, and Mode 3 is designed for 16-point XLR configurations.

There’s also Mode 4: Custom.

Get Creative with Custom Mode

Custom mode gives you full use of the display to create your own text. That makes the PBR LIT more than just a patchbay labelling tool.

Use it for alternative patchbay layouts, custom studio identification or creative signage. Whether you want a simple routing reference or something a little more distinctive, the custom display gives you the freedom to make it your own.

Patchcad BLA Edition Software Included

For computer-based label creation and editing, the PBR LIT includes Patchcad BLA Edition software. This provides another convenient way to prepare and update your digital patchbay labels, complementing the direct editing capability available through a USB keyboard.

Built for the Studio

Black Lion Audio has designed the PBR LIT with professional studio use in mind. Its reinforced steel chassis provides robust construction, while the black-anodised aluminium faceplates deliver a sleek and durable finish.

The result is a rackmount unit that feels at home in a professional recording studio, project studio, mobile rig or other production environment where reliable labelling and organisation matter.

A Futuristic Blue Glow

Beyond its practical function, the PBR LIT brings some visual personality to the rack. Its distinctive blue LED display creates a futuristic glow that makes patchbay information easy to identify while adding a modern aesthetic to the studio environment.

Compact 1U Rackmount Format

At just 1U high, the PBR LIT occupies minimal rack space while providing a dedicated display for patchbay labelling. Its compact 483 mm-wide chassis is designed to integrate neatly into standard 19-inch rack systems.

Keep Your Studio Routing Clear

As studios grow, signal routing can become increasingly complex. Patchbays make that routing flexible, but only when the connections are clearly identified. The PBR LIT provides a simple way to keep those labels visible, organised and easy to update as your setup evolves.

Get Lit with the PBR LIT

The Black Lion Audio PBR LIT combines practical studio organisation with a distinctly modern approach to patchbay labelling. With four layout modes, custom digital displays, USB keyboard editing and Patchcad BLA Edition software, it gives engineers a flexible alternative to traditional physical labels.

And with its reinforced construction, black-anodised aluminium faceplates and futuristic blue LED display, it looks every bit as good as it works.
