The Rupert Neve Designs R6 is a six-space 500 Series rack
system capable of delivering more than double the required current for a six modular outboard units.

Built to 500 series specifications, the R6 will work with any properly designed 500 series module. To help accommodate modules that are slightly out of spec, it has variable-position screw holes to make the installation process smooth with any module. If empty slots remain, there are matching blank panels available to cover any vacancies. The 500 series link function can be enabled in pairs on the R6 using the link jumpers on Channels 1-2, 3-4, or 5-6.

For connectivity, the R6 features eight channels of balanced I/O options, including DB-25, XLR and TRS that may be used interchangeably, in any combination. This can be useful when taking the R6 to another environment and for conversion of DB-25, XLR or TRS connections to another format (using the thru functionality on Channels 7-8).

To help monitor and troubleshoot problematic modules, the R6 is equipped with LED current metering to show how much power is being used. The internal power supply itself has been carefully designed with double-shielding to avoid significant magnetic induction in any of the channel positions.

The chassis is comprised of solid steel with bumpers to support the unit in both horizontal and vertical configurations, and features a collapsible handle for portability.

The R6 will be ship in late January 2015 with a retail price of US$599.
