I have 2 Mix Racks, MR-1 and MR-2. MR-2 is my 'walk-in rack' and it is an 8 space rack with 24 i/o. I could have fit it into a 5 space rack, but it has an 18.5 " monitor that fits into the back of the rack lid, and it wouldn't fit into my 6 space rack.
The 8 space rack contains the following:
- 1U PC
- MOTU 2408 MKII
- 3x ADA8K
- UPS
- 18.5" LED Monitor
- USB Keyboard & Track ball
- Output Patchbay
- Wireless router
Going with a smaller rack would mean that I would have to cary the UPS and the Monitor seperately, which I'd rather not do.
I have used the 6 space rack as my RF rack wich has my IEMs, wired headphone amps and my wireless mics in it, that way when I show up at a venue, I can choose to bring in nothing, either or both racks.

True. Apogee. Boggling. 
With 24ch of inputs, I can't get the computer, interface and I/O w/powerstrip into < 8 RU, so I may need to break it up into smaller subunits. CPU rack + I/O Racks, each of which can be 6 RU and easy to carry. It has to be one-man moveable, one-man lift.
Anyway, lots of good ideas. |
