Neat Idea. What is the module with the lundahl i/o? is that some sort of 500 pultec?
Nice idea 8) 8), easy enough....
But one thing tough, so the force applied when inserting the module will be taken by the XLR pins if racked right?
Wouldn't it be better to have 4 standoffs/screws options on PCB that would be screwed on back panel so to have a better stand
And so pressure applied won't do too much harm on XLR's?
I'm saying this without even having experienced them, but just wondering.
EDIT: The depth of the standoff's could be a bitch tough, anyway just thinking....

I guess you could just use wire to extend to the case mounted XLRs. I really like this idea! I think I might be in for 1-2 depending on price.zayance said:
When do you think this will be available and will adding a power supply be easy?

Looks like the PS is onboard - you just need a power transformer.
Best,

Well I think you could extend those xlr's to the back of a case so they would fit any case really!

more likely you could make it work from a 3-rail +48,+24,-24VDC supply and the regulating down to +/-16V for the standard 15pin slot voltages can be done/jumpered on each adapter, if so required.plumsolly said:
Neat idea.
(Having all 7 potentials (5 voltage rails+0V+chassis) on doubled up connectors in a following revision might help for easier daisy chaining.)

I Love It! Props to Igor!!
Maybe add 4 holes so that we can use long screws/standoffs to mount the "adapter-pcb" to the back panel?

yes true, but then the PCB and its socket is not holded securely, meaning that in a 51X rack, the front screw and the Card inserted gives a tight fit,
So if you rack it, you dn't want to have the Edac connector getting slowly out of its place so.....

That's what it looks like to me as well...
Dammit Igor, you seem to share my brain sometimes, as i had been thinking about this too, but your brain is much larger and more efficient than mine. Nice work!

Or you just leave it loose on the test bench
do your calibrations or checking then throw it in your rack

I Vote for screw holes on PCB 8), Please Igor :-\
