The Rackit! is a clever way to provide power and I/O connections to a 500-series or 51x Alliance module without a compliant rack case. It’s also useful for testing 500/51x modules “on the bench,” something that’s very difficult to do while the module is in a rack case. The Rackit! includes on-board regulators to provide both +/-24v (51x Alliance) and +/-16v (500-series) power rails from a +/-24vDC input, so only a +/-24v supply (and +48v for phantom power) is needed to power both 500 and 51x modules.

Features:

• Mounts to case via PCB-mounted XLR jacks
• On-board +/-16v regulators
• Accommodates both 500-series and 51x Alliance modules

Price:
PCB available for £10
