XP-Relay32/32X /64 Progress Report 2
XP-Relay Series: Ahead of Schedule and Ready to Connect!
Great news for everyone eagerly awaiting our new XP-Relay series! We're thrilled to announce that we're ahead of schedule on production. The first batch of XP-Relay32 units are already built and ready to ship, and we're actively assembling the initial run of XP-Relay32X and XP-Relay64 models.
While we're still awaiting the final metalwork for the XP-Relay64, we've already hit a significant milestone: the very first XP-Relay64 was on the test bench today! We successfully routed signals from every input to multiple outputs, confirming its robust performance.

Efficient Power Consumption
We've engineered the XP-Relay series for impressive power efficiency. Even in a worst-case scenario with every relay active and both USB and network connections engaged, the XP-Relay64 power consumption is under 25 watts.
Our clever routing algorithm typically uses only three relays for a connection, meaning most users won't have more than 50% of the relays energized at any given time. This translates to an expected average power consumption of around 12 watts. Because of the low power, neither the XP-Relay32 nor the XP-Relay64 requires a fan. This design choice results in minimal heat generation and a quiet operation.
Seamless Integration with XPatch4 Software
The XPatch4 software is designed to give you ultimate control. It allows you to manage up to four XPatch and/or XP-Relay units from a single, intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). This versatility means you can create a powerful and flexible system by combining both XP-Relay and XPatch units to suit your specific needs.
Myth Busting: Relays vs. Solid State
We often hear various claims from other manufacturers regarding the superiority of relays over solid-state solutions. Some even assert that relay-based systems have "no crosstalk." Let's clear that up: if connecting cables and patch bays can introduce crosstalk, then relays, by their very nature, also have it. Professionals understand this and typically keep line-level signals separate from microphone signals to maintain signal integrity.
At our core, we believe in providing the best tools for the job. That's why we manufacture both solid-state and relay-controlled patch bays. Both technologies offer exceptionally clean signal paths and provide users with greater flexibility in their setups.
One unique benefit of our XPatch solid-state patch bays is their integrated gain control. This powerful feature allows you to precisely reduce or boost the signal level at any point in your signal chain without the need for external hardware. High Impedance inputs and buffer mult’s are especially when used with for guitar effects.
In contrast, the XP-Relay excels at routing microphones and handling phantom power with infinite headroom, making it ideal for critical audio applications where pristine signal integrity and high dynamic range are paramount.
