Rack mounting the radias

Rosen Sound · Post by **Rosen Sound** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 3:18 am

after A LOT of searching the forum i figure its time to ask this.
I need to put my radias in the rack, however ive read you need to leave 1 unit about it for cables and stuff. I cant seem to achieve this, i just made some right angle cables and right angle midi cables to acomodate this..

then i realize. THE POWER PLUG IS THE NEW PROBLEM.

has anyone found a solution to this? i really dont want to have to leave another rack space open concidering i want to get a power conditioner

thanks in advance

It seems you should already know the answer... angled IEC cable?!

First of all thank you for the reply! i actually didnt think ide get one on this thread 0.0

however, the link you showed me is not what im looking for

the Radias uses the special power supply similar (or exactly) like the Karma

so if you know of a solution please tell me! as of now i have solved the issue in a bootleg fashion.

It just so happens i was able to re arrange my rack so my kurzweil micro piano is above the radias, this module is a half rack so i scooted it to the left, and milled a hole so i can fit the radias power adapter through without stressing the cable

and i ordered some hosa right angle midi jacks and i already have some average right angle quater inch cables! so it seems im set

but if you do know of another way PLEASE say so

thanks again

Doh! Of course... it's not a standard IEC connector. Sorry about that... have only just finished the first coffee of the day and it's Friday!

Its funny I just ran into this problem, my solution? Two empty rack spaces

Personally I'd use a 2U blanking plate, possibly with a grill. From an asthetic point of view. Interestingly it looks like it might be possible to mount two Radias modules directly above eachother due to the wedge shape of the module.

I was actually thinking about mounting mine in a DJ rack mixer case, it is the right size, and would pack away easily.

Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. I was going to say, perhaps you can find a right-angle 4-pin DIN adaptor?
