C.K. tries a Behringer Eurorack 19 inch studio rack

New product today. I needed another studio rack for my Eurorack modules, so grabbed a Behringer one from Sweetwater (link below).
A fine unit, good price. Little skeptical on their power claims, but it’ll support the width it is. And fits in the studio rack well.

Glad I went with the Tip Top Happy Ending. It's the same thing Behringer cloned except it came with solid threaded rails instead of those floating nuts.

I wondered who they copied (being Behr, after all), never saw the Tip Top item. If you like fixed mounting holes then yeah, the TT would be better.

Thanks for this very clear video, CK. Could you please clarify how many HP remain available with the provided PSU module installed? Is it 80 (84 minus 4 for the PSU) or 84?

[@CKHaun]

@Hakucho64 Just measured it, and the remaining space left is 410 mm. Divided that by the spec 5.08 mm per hp and the remaining opening is 80 hp.

[@Hakucho64]

Wow, thanks for the quick and thorough answer, CK!

How deep is that power module? 2”? More?

[@CKHaun]

Maybe an inch and a half, a little bit more when you add the ribbon cable. It's not as deep as the metal "ears" on the sides of the rack mounting portion.

[@CKHaun]

Great minds think alike. I also plan to do so, should have it done in a week or so and I'll post the video.
