This is a pretty good explanation for hardware inserts in general (and R6 would be no different): help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/206780533-Using-Hardware-Inserts-with-Apollo-Twin
I know about using the “Link” position on the card-slot jumper for matching 2 compressors' VCAs (or more if you patch) but can I use them to chain the ‘internal’ output to input from 511 to 543 (or any other) 500 series modules?
@@gabet3754 Hi, I'm pretty sure Neve contacted me and said the only way to connect modules' audio outs and ins was to use external patch cables (on the outside of the back of the rack). I have a Fredenstein Bento 10 DS rack that has software controlled internal switches for both the side-chain VCA or connecting audio between adjacent modules internally or via the rear panel XLR jacks (both switchable from a front LCD panel), it also has internal dip switches for lifting ground, I believe.
How do you physically move the link jumper from the off to on position… does it slide from right to left? Do I push it with my finger or a screw driver?..should it click into place? It seems delicate and I don’t want to force it… it doesn’t seem to move very easily…
Hi! You lift the black jumper block up and off, then slide it back down on the other pin. Give us a shout if you have any questions: rupertneve.com/support
I'll probably get this because of the db25, XLR, and TRS capabilites, and the fact that it is a nice build, but just a couple more details would have made this the end-all portable rack. 1) 8 modules. 2) adjacent module audio linking to not have to use as many patch cables. 3) Some sort of case kit or at least a front cover to protect your modules during transport. Every rack I've ver seen dies not have this, and the edges of the modules live right in the edge of the racks. Sure, I could get an actual real rack and stick the 10 slot version in there, but in the case of these, it's like a waste of a beautiful handle. Anyhow, it seem kind of like a duh feature to have... protection. And I guess... #4 and #5 for the picky on power supplies.. 4) Individual slot isolation 5) Make the psu removable using thumbs screws on the back, to turn it into an external psu in case there were ever any issues.
I have been connecting from slot 6 to slot 5, right to left, and all seems OK. Just wondering why you suggest always linking in the opposite direction, left to right? I was struggling to get my compressor into slot 1, which is why i set it up this way.
If you're using DB25 to hook up the R6 to your interface, Ch7+8 on the R6 are pass-through I/O for the remaining 2 channels on the DB25 cable. (Since the R6 only uses 6 channels, 7+8 would be otherwise unused.)
send one module to two different places at the same time, like direct to your audio interface out of one output, and over to a compressor out of the other one
I have one question please if anyone can answer me. I`m interested to know can i use other manufacteres module to fit with this rack? For example Cranborne Audio, SPL etc.
Yes. I’m using api, Maag and one RN module. These babies are supposed to handle the power vs the lunchbox. Per api, you’re supposed to use only the “approved “ modules because of power consumption issues but with the RN, you’re golden. I’ve had it for 6+ months with no issue.
Hi I just bought one of these from b&h and when I opened it and took out the box I heard like a noise of like a screw moving around or something maybe something is lose or is that normal please lmk I will appreciate it 🙏

I literally have no idea how i got here or what this man is talking bout
🤷♂️
Best comment of all 🤣
I don't know what this product is either but he's so cordial that i just ordered one 😆
Please explain more on how we can integrate to interface such as Apollo twin

thanks for these videos buddy
It has character like an instrument. Beautiful. Thanks RND.
Nice, I can get a rack for $700 and fill it with blank panels for $29 each! Sweetwater for the win.
Yaay, I'ma going to get one!

Im having trouble with this 500 series stuff how do you hook it up? and if so can you use a 2i2 or apollo ?
How do I switch the link jumper switch?

Thank You so Much! Maybe include that in the manual or in another video... thanks again!!
I have my R6 set up using 3 stereo modules, do I need to use the link option on each of them?

Number 3 sounds like awesome 💡 idea for safety and keep dust off while not in use
@@zanem9022 yep... And for portability.

Can this be used for a mixing setup?
Yes
Can I use channel 7 or 8 to output back to my interface?!

@@RupertNeveDesigns hi again can you please give an example of how channels 7-8 can be utilized…. It’s hurting my brain a little bit…
Does anyone understand how to use channel 7 and 8 on the R6? I tried to connect an ua 1176 but no signal. Thanks!
@rupertnevedesigns
I love it even empty :-)
What do you mean "Mult" the outputs? what does that mean?
send one module to two different places at the same time, like direct to your audio interface out of one output, and over to a compressor out of the other one

Oh no! That doesn't sound right. Please contact our service team and we'll make sure everything's sorted out for you: rupertneve.com/support
That's the top rail screws that you use to screw the modules. They have some play and make that noise. Once tightened there's no noise!
@@RupertNeveDesignsexcellent attitude 👏👍💪
Why will none of my channel strips power up

is this xlr to trs?
anyone got a used fredenstein bento 2 or any lunchbox selling or want to trade?
why wouldn't you offer this in 8 channels vs 6 channel
