Hi Folks,
I’m currently putting together a small home studio. I like building stuff so I’ve decided to build a few of the components myself using kits. I have a studio rack so I was originally thinking of building the kits into 19-inch cases - including 500-series kits even though the component layout would be a bit odd. Then I came across the A Designs Audio 503HR which would make things easier, however some of the kits are 2U so they wouldn’t fit.
Anyway, this got me thinking that it might be possible to mount the 500-series units onto aluminium angle and then build power supplie/s for them. That way they’d at least be oriented correctly.
Just wondering what people think about this idea? Would the units need a box around them? What about the connections? Has anyone tried anything like this?
A six-slot frame seems pretty expensive to me - is there something I’m missing?
Any comments or suggestions welcome.
Cheers,
Chris
