Important Safety Information Please note and retain this information. Carefully read and follow all of the safety and operating instructions before you use the machine. Be doubly careful to follow all warnings and special safety instructions noted in this manual and on the unit. This manual provides all information needed to fit or exchange RackPack 500 modules. Module manuals do not contain information on fitting and exchanging modules. You need this manual everytime a module is to be fitted or exchanged.
Important Safety Information Repairs: Unplug the machine and immediately contact a qualified technician when you think repairs are needed – or when moisture or foreign objects may accidentally have gotten in to the housing, or in cases when the machine may have fallen and shows any sign of having been damaged. This also applies to any situation in which the machine has not been subjected to any of these unusual circumstances but still is not functioning normally or its performance is substantially altered.
Introduction RackPack 500 The RackPack 500 system allows you to set up a very compact, customized analog rack on only 3 U rack space – equipped with both SPL and API 500 compatible modules. SPL RackPack modules The Transient Designer opens a new dimension in dynamic processing with its unique level-independent signal processing. Imitated especially by several software applications, the original Transient Designer remains the state-of-the-art transient modeler.
Hook Up Scope of delivery • The RackPack 500 frame including all blind panels for SPL modules and the front panel (if modules are not fitted already). Please note that all SPL modules are shipped without the aluminum front panel. You need it when you fit a SPL module into the frame. Therefore make sure that you handle the aluminum front panels with the same care and prudence as any other unit surface. All screws holding front and rear blind and front panels are needed for the fitting of modules.
Hook Up Air circulation Always ensure sufficient air circulation in any installation or setup: always keep a distance of about 4-5 cm (1 U rack space or about 2 inches) to the next device. This concerns especially the space above and below the device because louvers are cut into top and bottom panels for optimal heat removal. For free placement outside of a rack please always use a level and stable surface. Never place it on a soft surface such as a blanket or a cushion etc.

Transient Designer & DynaMaxx) can be run as stereo pairs.
External Power Supply The external power supply offers fundamental advantages over internal power supplies: Properly installed, transformer hum and interference should never be an issue and the unit should deliver clean, clear audio. In addition to that, internal circuitry is free from AC power which could negatively influence especially sensitive modules such as preamps. The 100 VA transformer is generously proportioned to ensure plenty of power in any situation and proper current for the various circuits.
