Excellent rack

This rack is very sturdy, with built in power supply which is shielded. I think they did a good job here as it is very quiet with my modules. What I really like is the link function so I have begun to build kind of channel strips (perhaps more like complimentary modules than a traditional channel strip) of 3 modules each, then the last 2 are the stereo compressor. The link function in the rack means less cables and less channels required of your interface :)

I think this is a nice option to get a reliable rack at an affordable cost, and with the all important link feature.

Tasty Bento Box

I bought this Rack for 3 reasons:-

1. Because of the higher current available for each slot at 500mA its well above some of the more expensive racks

2. Its Black !

3. There is enough spaces to grow into.

Its really well made and very sturdy at 6Kgs in weight very nice piece of kit and ultra quiet so far I've not had any issue with noise, all though I currently only have one pre amp so its not exactly under any strain, not that it should be at 500mA per slot it should cope with most of the Higher end gear.
