Radial Engineering WR8 Rack 8-Slot Power-Rack, 19" 3RU, 1600 Ma Power Supply

If you're a fan of Radial's TEC Award-winning Workhorse 8-channel 500 series power rack, but don't have a need for it's summing mixer, the Radial WR-8 is for you. It gives you all the same features minus the mixer, though you can upgrade at any time by installing the Radial WM8 (sold separately).

Radial Engineering's Workhorse WR-8 is an 8-slot 500 series power rack that is 100% compatible with all standard 500 series modules. Individual XLR inputs and outputs are complimented with parallel 1/4" TRS connectors and Pro-Tools compatible 25 pin D-Subs. This enables any of the 8 module slots to be easily integrated within the framework of today's popular digital workstation environment. A special feed function also enables modules to be connected in series without having to hard patch using a cable.

Rear panel connectivity is extensive: Each channel is equipped with traditional XLR input and output. This is augmented with 1/4" TRS jacks for balanced or unbalanced connectivity. A special Omniport™ jack delivers module-specific functionality that can range from an extra output, ducking input or effects insert depending on the module design. The Workhorse comes ProTools™-ready with 8-channel D-subs for the inputs and outputs plus third D-Sub gives you access to the built-in main summing outputs (augmented by the aformentioned WM8 upgrade). Powering concerns are addressed with a unique 'pooled' supply that shares 1600 milliamps of current between the available 8 slots. This allows high current demand modules to exceed the usual limitations of other 500 series racks without the worry of brown outs.
