Re: racks and power

2004-09-24 by Gary Chang

Ok,

 Now that the power is taken care of (presumably), the other issue is
creating an enclosure for you modules.

The most daunting task - attaching the modules can be achieved
relatively simply by utilizing the Vector Electronics T-Strut, which
is an aluminum extrusion that has a slot made for T-Nuts, which are a
specially made square 4-40 nut that are designed slide in this slot.

The T-Strut is about one inch wide (a slot in both ends).  This allows
you plenty of material to drill or weld or glue to attach them to a
suitable cabinet.

It comes in standard rack mount kits, with all the other stuff (sides,
tops, bottoms, etc., or as raw 60" stock (4 per order).

I learned about these guys while trying to mount 26 NEVE 3104 mic
pre/eq modules years ago, and have used them in my recent Blue Meanie
project.

Simply the easist, most elegant solution.

Vector Electronics is in North Hollywood, CA. http://www.vectorelect.com/
