Mm. Why not! Microrack!

Early in the thread it is mentioned that this is for 51x and 500.

I just can't wait for the price. It's a modular way compressing the physical mass of gear vs any limited space units that would have to be stacked. At least I think that is what I see.

you can use 500 series modules in a 51x rack.  the 51x rack spec is 18 pins.  500-series is 15 pins.  the first 15 pins of 51x are identical to 500-series.

Yes but the 51x uses 24volts and not 16volts.

I thought it had both...
see attachment

 

[gemini86]

51x just adds +- 24v to what's already there...

 

[canidoit]

Im talking about his power supply. It only does 24volts, refer to above??

Absolutley interested. After seeing such great builds on this forum i've been wanting someone to hand me the needle so i can take the plunge and get 500 addicted aswell as DIY addicted. Can really see this built into a wooden box of some sort with some nice gear in it

When asking about 2 Rackit kits fitting together to test 2 slot modules,
you suggested I wait for this
Would I be able to just buy the back plate seperate,

 

[Igor]

Yep. The power supply is 2x24V for audio and 48V phantom.
At the back plate, there are LM317 and LM337 to take down +/-24 to +/-16V.
I am waiting for 50 of nice black MicroRacks more impatiently than you
Winetree: yes, when I have a new batch of pcb's (about Jan 20...25th).

 

[fazeka]

Nice Igor. Can't wait.

 

[anjing]

[Eliani]

I'm wondering too if this project is being completed, I'm interested!!

 

[chunger]

What about plug-in PSU?  8)  Been looking for a good place to use this.

 

[Igor]

Finally... YES!!!!!

50 sets of Microrack boxes have arrived from factory!!!

Sides are made from 1.5mm steel, Black Zinc coating. Back made from 2mm 6061 Aluminium.
Laser cut,  precise bending, excellent work from local Israeli factory Shif-Ram, located at Teffen Industry Area.

 

[mulletchuck]

that looks awesome!!

 

[Igor]

Mm... yep. 3 boxes full of nice stuff!

 

[musika]

This stuff is great Igor......  make it sound better, make it smaller, easier, cheaper!!!!! I like it.

 

[j.frad]

Alright how can we buy them?
