SONIFEX RB-RK3 RACKMOUNT KIT Rear panel - reverse mount, for 480mm wide types

Sonifex Redboxes are built in two different extrusions, with front and rear panels screwed to the extrusion. The different types are supplied either: as surface-mounting types, which may be attached to any flat surface, such as the underside of studio furniture, using the apertures in the case for fixing screws; or as “rack-mounting” types which have a 1U front panel attached.

RB-RK1, RB-RK2, RB-RK3

The surface mounting types may be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack using the accessory RB-RK1 Front panel rack-mounting kit. This has an aperture for the power indicator, but all other features will be inside the rack. The RB-RK2 and RB-RK3 mounting kits are intended to mount these products in “reverse”, so that connectors and other features are available on the outside of the rack. Both types have an aperture to run the supply cable through to the inside of the rack if required. See below for compatibility.

The rack-mounting types, obviously, may be mounted by the attached rack-mounting FRONT panel, but may also be mounted in reverse using the RB-RK2 and RB-RK3 kits. Although the existing front panel will have to be negotiated through the rack strips, this could be a very useful option.

RB-FR1

FR1 accessory kit may be fitted to suitable Redbox models, for use in circumstances where the equipment is not rack-mounted and the extra width of the unused rack-mounting ears is undesirable. This replaces the existing front panel of the RB-ADDA, RB-BL4, RB-UL4, RB-LU4. The result of this modification is to remove the rack-mounting ears, reducing the width of the equipment to 418mm. The kits consist of the replacement panel and fitting screws. They may be fitted using only a screwdriver.

RB-FR2, RB-FR3

The RB-FR2 fits the RB-HD1 and RB-DAC1. The RB-FR3 fits the RB-HD2. In both cases the panels are printed with the appropriate legend to suit the controls and connectors on the equipment. The result of the modification is to remove the rack-mounting ears and reduce the width of the equipment from 484mm to 258mm.

Compatibility

All kits are finished in red anodised aluminium to match the Redboxes.
