500 rack

Introduction

Van Daal Electronics Rack is built to match the high standards set by its predecessors. 500 format modules have been around from the last century with no change. Though they are cheaper than a full size apparatus, they need a rack to function. This is our contribution to the community and users. The rack is complete and ready for use.
Features

IO
Input and Output is standard XLR.
Ground lift with jumpers
Stereolink with jumpers.

Power Supply
PSU is standalone and not inside the rack, to reduce noise and heat problems.
All the voltages can be readjusted if needed.

Variant 500
Rack can take only 500 modules, it has 15pin connector.
It has space for 11 modules.
Outputs: max 3A per rail.
Cable length 2m (or longer if needed)
One PSU can power two 500 racks.
Voltages are pre-set to work with 500 standards:
+V1: 16V
-V1: -16V
+V2: 16V
-V2: -16V
+48V phantom

Variant 51X
Rack can take 500 and 51x modules at the same time.
Rack has 18 pin connectors, inserting 500 modules has to be done with care.
It has space for 11 modules.
Outputs: max 3A per rail.
Cable length 2m (or longer if needed)
One PSU can power one 51x rack that has 500 and 51x modules,
or two racks that has only 51x modules.
Voltages are pre-set to work with 51x or 500 standards:
+V1: 16V
-V1: -16V
+V2: 24V
-V2: -24V
+48V phantom 300mA

To ensure a long life:
PSU utilizes a powerful 250VA Toroidal transformer.
All the heat is placed away from the filtering caps straight on the cooling profile.
Added extra support for the rack PCB to prevent any physical damage.
