Rupert Neve Designs R6 Rackmount Kit

Overview: Secure Integration for the Professional Studio

The R6 Rackmount Kit is a dedicated hardware solution designed to seamlessly integrate the R6 Six-Space 500 Series Rack into any standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rupert Neve Designs engineered these rack ears to provide a secure, industrial-grade mounting point, ensuring that the company’s flagship six-slot power supply remains stable and protected in both fixed studio installations and mobile recording rigs. By utilizing this kit, engineers can maintain a clean, organized workspace while keeping their essential 500 Series modules at the perfect ergonomic height.

Key Features & Benefits

• Precision Engineering: These rack ears are specifically contoured to match the chassis of the R6, providing a flush, professional fit that occupies 3U of vertical rack space.

• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Rupert Neve Designs utilized high-gauge steel with a durable powder-coated finish to match the rugged aesthetic of the original unit, ensuring the hardware can support the full weight of a populated R6 rack.

• Streamlined Studio Organization: Moving the R6 from a desktop position to a rack-mounted configuration helps manage cable clutter and protects the unit’s rear I/O—including XLR, TRS, and DB-25 connections—from accidental strain.

• Ventilation Minded: The kit is designed to maintain the airflow integrity of the R6, allowing the double-shielded internal power supply to remain cool during long sessions.

• Simple Installation: The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware, allowing for a quick and easy conversion process that does not require any internal modifications to the R6 chassis.

• Compatibility Note: Rupert Neve Designs specifies that this rackmount kit is compatible with R6 units bearing serial number 250 or newer.
