Hello,
didn't know where to put this,hope I'm in the right thread
This is a little box I built for general testing 51x and compatible modules.
I went on holidays some days ago and wanted to build some stuff there.
Looking at my little workshop and especially the big and heavy lab PSUs I decided to hook up something small that works as a psu,an audio breakout box including having some possibilities for easy changing ground connections.So I looked at what I had in my drawers and found a nice modushop case,a jlm psu (5 rails),a card edge connector,some switches,some D-series Neutrik XLRs,some LEDs,a fuse holder etc.
Fooled around a bit with them and found that all might fit in that case.O.K.,it's a tight fit,but doable.
Made some panel designs with FPD then over night and sent the files to Frank @ NRG Recording.
He was so kind and made them pretty fast,sent them to my holiday location then,cool.
Thanks Frank!!!
Had some basic tools with me and was able to finish the box today.
Pretty nice because I'm waiting for some brandnew preamps.
The box itself can lay flat in front of you,but also in upright position and will hold a single 51x module easily (that's why the card edge connector is not centered,the transformer is then at the bottom).
Here's a pic,I'm curious what you think about it........
Best,
Udo.
P.S.:I have only an iPad with me.In case anybody wants to see more of it I will try and upload some additional pics.
