What People Say About Us

The XPatch-64 is simply HUGE and easy to use. Since I added it to my setup, it has sped up my workflow and helped me to become more efficient during sessions. I can’t imagine to work without it!“
One of my favourite features is the gain control
— Alex Badagee - Red Sync Studio Mastering
As a console and outboard hardware user, I need a simple, reliable way to be able to use all of my gear. Old school patch bays are great but you have to make detailed records of what it routed to where and keep them up to date. And changing routings takes time. The XPatch 64 and the XPatch2 software for windows and Mac OS allow me to use, then change how I use my outboard gear at the click of a mouse. I can use my DBX compressors on Toms for a tracking session then quickly reconfigure the rig to use them on guitars and overheads in a mix, and with 64 channels of I/O XPatch64 has allowed me to bring every console channels insert into the patching system so I have even less cables in the consoles built-in cable patch bay than ever before.

Sonically using XPatch64 is like plugging into the hardware directly. The digitally controlled routing makes no difference to the sound or tone of the hardware. In fact, in switching to XPatch-64, I actually found cables in the rig that were no up to spec and was able to change these out or remove them from the rig all together.

Another bonus is that I now have the option of introducing high impedance guitar pedal effects into my patches allowing me to use studio grade rack effects alongside guitar stomp boxes to create some very interesting effects chains. It doesn’t matter that it’s a different form factor or connection type XPatch-64 just works with it.

It’s easy to configure, easy to use, sounds great and works every time. What’s not to love?

The combination of the matrix and the paths is SO powerful!
Goodbye endless plug-ins and repulsing and then re-creating what was done a week ago!
I’m very happy with the XPatch-64!
It will change for the better how I can work in the studio!
What a time saver!

“I’m a fan of CB Electronics!!!
Colin’s attention to detail and his enthusiasm to come up with custom solutions makes him my go to!
I have the TMC-1 S6 and my latest addition is the XPatch-32, picked it over the competition due to some key features not available elsewhere.

The gain control was the biggest factor for me, and being able to do that in the box, wow! I have several vintage outboard that with this feature helps keep things in the “sweet spot”.

Also as a stand-alone with front panel control is a very nice touch when on my remote gigs. I’m in broadcast so these features are integral for repeatability.

This has made a huge impact on being spontaneous trying different recording and mixing chains. “

“Since owning the XPatch-32 it has sped up my workflow and helped me become more creative,
I can’t imagine being without it!”
— Paul Drew Award Winning & Multi-Platinum writer and producer (The Studio Rats).

I could not be happier with the TMC-2. It has well and truly seamlessly solved a hardware issue we were facing , and is also extremely well equipped to handle our future requirements. Thank you for a great piece of kit.
— Matt Perrott Audio Director (Uncanny Valley-NSW AUSTRALIA)
“Thus far, the TMC-1 XMon has been awesome! It worked first time out of the box, and took very little time to get to grips with.

Joe and I haven’t had the time to sit down and properly go through and customise it to our requirements. But the default is very functional and hasn’t left us wanting...

I think I speak for both us that we are very happy with it! Thanks for taking the time to touch base with us”.

All the best, Jason

My Setup:

It’s a small/medium size facility focused primarily on feature length and documentary films, but also deals with standalone music projects. It’s as much for post work as it is for tracking so I needed a lot of flexibility. I had a Dangerous ST/SR setup and though it sounded great, there were some limitations. I looked at just about everything on the market and the TMC-1 always ended up at the top of the list. Once I realized that Wes was a U.S. distributor it was a pretty easy choice. And starting with the XMon config made the price point very reasonable. I deal primarily with stereo or 5.1 but the XMon can handle up to 7.1.

I’ve been very pleased with the TMC-1 and can certainly recommend it. It does all that I need and more. It’s as much or more configurable than just about anything else available and still at a reasonable cost.
— Jon Yerby

I used the TMC-1 Penta to control AVID MTRXs in my audio rooms. It is really a great device once set up. Colin is very helpful and hands on,

I am very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend the setup I’m using. I actually downsized from a 24 fader D-Command to the AVID S3, Dock, and MTRX with Colin’s TMC-1. I only work in stereo at the moment but I have all the infrastructure available to go as many channels wide as I would need.
— Tom Lewis - Senior Audio Engineer PGA TOUR Entertainment

I just wanted to write you.

We’ve been very impressed with the sound quality of the A-Mon, we find it far superior to the X-Mon’s we have in our other studios. The noise floor is excellent for post production work and we find out mixes have even more clarity as a result. Additional features such as the surround channel order and 7.1 muting capability make it an excellent replacement for the X-Mon.

I hope that doesn’t sound too much like advertising, but it’s the truth.
— Toby Craig (Oxygen Sound Studios-Berlin)

“The TMC-1 for S6 gave a second life to our X-Mons by giving us instant access to their functionalities and a clear and permanent display of their state.”
— Charles Bussienne Polyson Post Production

“The TMC-1 puts the power on a large console monitor section in your left hand and Colin is always perfecting and updating his products!”
— Owen Curtis - Audio Builders Workshop

”CB Electronics have been very clever in producing one monitor controller that can control any of the following units. Avid X-Mon Monitor Controller, CB Electronics A-Mon Monitor Controller, Trinnov D-Mon Monitor Controller, NTP-DAD AX32 Monitor Controller, Avid MTRX Monitor Controller. The TMC-1 as a large console monitor system without the large console, which fits very well with the trend away form large consoles that we are seeing in our industry.”
— Mike Thornton - Pro Tools Expert

“The man behind CB electronics is the charismatic Colin Broad. Colin who? For years, the film and broadcast community have relied on Colin Broad’s expertise to solve a range of problems in the area of machine and system control. In fact, you would have to search hard to find a UK film dubbing theatre without at least one of his products, known to all and sundry as ‘Broad Boxes’. They are also a common sight in dubbing theatres across the world. Because big film dubbing theatre requirements are so complex most of the previous products have tended to involve a degree of customisation to suit individual requirements”.
