Because the R10 is built to official 500 Series specifications (surprisingly, not all racks are!) it will work flawlessly with any properly-designed 500 series module you wish to include in it. To help accommodate modules that are slightly out of spec, the R10 has variable-position screw holes to help make the installation process as smooth as possible.
The 500 series VCA buss link function can also be enabled in pairs on the R10 using the link jumpers on Channels 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 or 9-10. Enabling link allows compatible compressor modules like the 535 or 543 to share VCA control when their links are enabled. Matching blank panels are also available to cover any empty slots.
If you want to get the very best performance out of your 500 series modules, the R10 is the serious rack for the serious sound you want.
TEN CARD SLOTS WITH SERIOUS POWER
Each card slot is designed to fit a standard 500 series module. Even with modules that overdraw the 500 Series specification, the R10 has more than enough reserve power to maintain proper voltage.
LINK JUMPER
There are three link jumpers, which can be individually set to allow VCA linking on Channels 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 and 9-10. The link function is typically used to link the gain reduction of two compressors (such as our 543 or 535 modules).
CURRENT METER
An LED meter monitors the R10 current usage to ensure that you never run short on power. This meter can also be useful for troubleshooting a module that is severely overdrawing its allotment.
