Octa Rack 500

Octa Rack 500 is simply the best rack you can get for any Octa, 51x or 500 module.
Any module, be it 500, 51x or Octa will sound better in the Octa Rack 500. 

Great sound requires great power.
Octa Rack is based on the proven power designs and technology from the Ark console, which is widely considered one of the best sounding consoles on the market.

Octa Rack has dedicated regulators and filters for each slot, ensuring each Octa module gets the cleanest +/- 24 volts.
Octa Rack 500 adds dedicated power supplies, regulators and filters for the +/- 16V rails, ensuring each 500 module gets great power.
These regulators filter out all the “dirt” on the power lines and guarantee the cleanest power for each module, resulting in much better and more transparant audio quality (they really do).

The result is that any 500, 51x or Octa module will sound better in the Octa Rack 500 than in any other rack. (and do we need to mention that the Octa Rack does not “hum” or “hiss” or “distort” like so many other 500 racks do?)

The Octa Rack motherboard features 18-pin EDAC connectors.
These connectors are fully compatible with 15-pin 500-series modules.
The extra pins on the 18-pin connector are used for +/- 24V rails, so Octa modules can run on higher voltage, for better sound quality.
