My wireless rig

Six of one, half dozen of another. Maybe I haven't been clear. The fans facilitate the evacuation of the warm air from the rack, thus enabling the amp fan to do its thing. Like this: cool air into the amp > across the amp & amp fan > out the vent > cleared from the rack by rack fan.

I'm not saying the fans cool the amp, I'm saying any positive exchange of thermal units has the net result of cooling the entire rack.

Just wanted to post some pics of my Wireless Rack and main rig also. I'm not quite as OCD as you but not far away!!

My wireles IEM rig is a bit different to you yours - mine is designed to allow me to run ampless if I wish, or with just a powered monitor using the ART Pre. I use an XDS plus when using the small rack which just sits on top.

No intention to hijack here - I just want to share my similar ideas.

How did you get the tube pac mounted? I have one and am looking to get a wireless. I'd like to mount them side by side similar to yours.

"TU-50" half-space rack tuner! i've never even heard of such a thing!

what a great idea, as wasting an entire rack space on a tuner just seems silly (so of course they don't make it anymore).

They do show up from time to time. I was lucky enough to stumble on mine...

If you are more that a semitone flat on the low B it won't pick it up but apart from that it is great. It even has a jack out to a foot switch for muting.

I actually have the TU50 and ART TubePAC velcro'd to a 1RU rack shelf. But sometimes it can get a little tight to fit it all in. MY IEM and compressor in the same rack are just velcro'd to the EQ they are above. This works just as well and gives you a bit more breathing space to get everything in the rack.

That's cool. I never would have thought of velcro Thanks for the ideas.

I decided to build this rig after running the two units together in a two space shallow rack. I wasn't satisfied with the cramped & incomplete nature of the first iteration so I went to this:

SKB three space roll-X case. Same case type as my 6U amp rack so they fit together just right.

Top spot has the Audio-Technica M3 for my in-ears, I re-routed another BNC connector to the front panel for the antenna.

Middle position is the Line 6 G90 (nice piece of kit).

The bottom is a drawer for transmitter, receiver, Alien Ears, extra batteries, & cords.

The back panel I re-made as a custom patch pay for two reasons:

1. Finding my way into those inputs in the dark of a bar was a major hassle.

2. The inputs seemed so tight I thought better of continually going in & out of them. Besides, this was just cooler, IMO.

I fabbed the panel from .062" aluminum & bent a 5/8" flange on the edges to stiffen it. Then I laminated a .062" sheet of Kydex onto it & rounded it all out with Neutrik panel connectors. I put a generic power input on the panel, with a duplex outlet inside for the units. The thing fastens with slide latches. Inside the panel all the XLRs & 1/4" plugs are hardwired to the panel inputs but have regular male or female XLR, or 1/4" plugs to the units, in case I need to get at any of them.

I may be going to an all wireless (Bass and Ears) situation soon. This is perfect.
