Finally putting my BAs into a rack case

Post by Paul »

hi all,

i have 3 BAs all built up and its time i placed them into my rack case. I'd like to know what everyone else has done to measure up where they need to drill the holes in the panels to ensure the switches and inputs on the BA fit in nice and easy. Is there a template someone has for a standard 19" rack panel that would make life easy? Down the track in intend on having a fourth BA placed into this rack case.

thanks for you help.

paul.

I assume you have a volume pot. How about variable impedance? any DI or meters?

ahh yes, nice of me to leave out the finer details! :)

All 4 BAs will utilise volume pots whilst only the first 2 shall have DI. None are variable impendance and there will be no meters.

Why do so many people skip the variable impedance????? Its your pre, but I would definitely include it if you are planning now to drill the front panel. Whats the cost/trouble to include one more pot and one resister. With the OEP input xformer I will accept the variable pot is not imediately inspring, but with the JLM 1.4 input xformer the impedance pot control is huge.

Just my 2cents:)

thanks for the template chris, however i did learn that it wasnt the best for my altronics rack so i did all the measurements from scratch and got them to fit perfectly (only have 1mm of room for movement on the inside). just need to drill for the powerswitch, xlrs and power dc plug!

the 4th BA arrived a couple of days ago and i hope to solder them this weekend!
