Radial unveils series SixPack power rack 500

The Canadian company Radial Engineering, Professional audio product manufacturer, has released the sixth power frame of its series 500, the SixPack, a six-slot Workhorse device designed to accommodate all modules in this family.

Radial Engineering has launched the SixPack, the latest Workhorse power rack designed for the series module form factor 500. The SixPack is the sixth power frame of the firm in its growing range of the series 500.

According to the president of Radial, Peter Janis: “Considering that today's digital environment is constantly changing, Recording studios must be agile to adapt and must also carry out a higher level of creativity and originality in the recording process.. We believe that the series 500 is perfectly suited for this new reality, as it is compact and easily transportable. And if we take into account the hundreds of modules that are already available on the market, in addition to the patch options that can be used, There has never been a more exciting time to be involved in music production.”

The SixPack is a power rack for 6 Slots designed to accommodate all modules in the series 500, including the oldest ones manufactured by API. It features 1600 milliamps of current for more than 265 milliamps of average power per slot. This allows you to mix and match solid-state and tube modules without worrying about power. External power also provides 48V phantom power for microphone preamplifiers. A protection circuit in each of the slots protects the SixPack and other connected modules from short circuits or malfunctions.

Design begins with a gauge steel construction 14 for durability and improved noise protection. Modules can be connected in series with the FEED switch and stereo attached using the LINK function. Additional connectivity includes parallel connected TRS connectors with XLR connectors for cross-patching and parallel processing. These are also connected in parallel to a set of D-Sub connectors for easy patching and from the workstation..

Two front panel XLR connectors allow access to channels 7 and 8 of the D-Sub or can be assigned to the channels 1 and 4 To create a stereo channel. Separate ground tabs on the rear panel allow system technology to incorporate star grounding or other schemes into the studio design. Optional mounting hardware allows the SixPack to be recessed into the workstation or mounted at an angle for a more ergonomic configuration. The same hardware performs dual function to allow the SixPack to be mounted on a standard 19 Inch.
