Critic Reviews

SM Pro M-Patch 2

soundonsound.com

The SM Pro Audio M-Patch 2 is a commendable solution for those seeking a transparent audio path with versatile features. Its passive design ensures no noise or distortion, and the dual-input capability makes it a practical choice for various studio setups. The addition of a headphone amp enhances its utility, though it lacks an on/off switch, which could be inconvenient. While the knob visibility could be improved, the overall build quality and user feedback responsiveness are impressive. At £84, it delivers great value, making it an excellent option for budget-conscious musicians looking for reliable monitor control.

The SM Pro Audio M-Patch 2 is a surprising gem for those seeking budget-friendly audio control. With its balanced passive design and multiple input options, it delivers impressive sound quality and versatility, making it a solid addition to any setup. While the build quality shines with neat internals and a clean aesthetic, it does have some quirks, like slight scratching noises from the pots when adjusted without audio. Additionally, its lightweight nature can lead to instability when rack-mounted. Nonetheless, for the price, the M-Patch 2 offers a remarkable balance of performance and features that might just convert even the most skeptical gear snobs.
