A tough, portable home for six 500 series modules. The R6 is a six-slot 500 series rack in a solid steel chassis with a collapsible handle. It has more than 150% of the power a six-slot rack needs and a back panel so full of connections that it works almost like a patchbay – ideal for taking your preamps and processors from studio to studio.
Why customers choose it
- Steady power: 1000 mA for modules and 150 mA for 48 V phantom, from a double-shielded internal supply.
- Connect anything: 8 channels of balanced I/O on XLR, TRS and DB-25 that can be used interchangeably – great when you are not sure what cables a studio has.
- Built-in converter: channels 7-8 thru connections convert between DB-25, XLR and TRS.
- See your power use: LED current meter shows the load and helps troubleshoot modules.
- Stereo linking: link jumpers on 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6 for compatible compressors like the 535 or 543.
Who it is for
Home studios starting a 500 series setup, producers and engineers who carry their own preamps and compressors, and live or mobile recording rigs.
