D.I.Y. rack mounting pre's

[sameal]

yo.

so i'm bored, and i got a few channels lying around from various boards, that if they so happened to explode in an experiment, they probably wouldn't be missed.

so I'm wanting to try out rack mounting a few channels to check my skills.

where do i start other then the schematics?

Powersupply. I have half of the two items you need. I went JLM so I have a used powertran Worldpower 110/220 psu 12vac/12vac. Trade me something for it.....I also recently went fivefish and you may go there because it is USA and a nit cheaper and he has nice stuff.


Schemo, rack enclosure, dpdt's, wire, soldering station with desoldered, flux, a magnifying glass/holder/contrapcion to hold some components at times and patience.

i don't have a whole lot to give really, but i'll try. what do you want?


i got all the soldering supply's.

by the way the two channels in question are soundcraft, 1 series 800 and 1 series 600. a good introduction to these kinda things because if it burns, it's just some soundcraft pre's. no biggie.

EDIT: come to think of it, f the 600. i got 24 channels of that shit already!

i got a presonus bluetube, the older model. it's pretty much a doorstop, but there's mods out there for it if that sort of thing interests you.

that series 600 channel, but again probably not very interesting.

i have a p.c. power supply doing nothing still in the box.

yeah, like i said, i pretty much have nothing of interest. i usually sell off the goodies unfortunately.

I'll try and dig something up. hit me back with stuff you need.

[sameal]

just got done removing the stuff I'm certain i won't need.

mostly just auxiliary section switch's and pots. there has too be a part of this board i can saw off to make it smaller!

anyone need some spare 800 parts?

[sameal]

ARE THE SCHEMATICS FROM A series 600 the same as an 800?

i can't find the 800 schemo's

gonna need some ramsa schemo's now too.

[sameal]

I'm thinking of a toroidal transformer and jlm audio ac/dc kit for the channels strips power.

anybody think this is a less then ideal setup?

[antoniosolo]

Either JLM or Fivefish in Tn. There are others but those spring to mind first.

[sameal]

now all i need is schematics for the ramsa and the 800. can't seem to find em anywhere.


the 600 is coming along fine however. i decided to go with it cause im most familiar with it and i could send it over to jim williams and see the difference in mods.

now it's just time money and figuring out the wiring.
