Post by drewbass » Wed Mar 08, 2006 11:39 pm

can the masterlink be racked on a slight angle, or does it have to be racked flat?
thanks

mine is racked at a slight angle. i've never even thought about it until you asked the question. i don't know if it is officially 'ok' but it's never been a problem for me.

I'm currently working in a studio where the Masterlink is racked at an angle and has been since they first came out about six years ago. It's working fine.

I haven't tried a 'severe' angle, but I've had one racked at about 15? for 3 years or so and it's performed no different than the one that is usually pretty level in the mobile rack.

If you're racking it at a slight angle "credenza" style, you're fine. I wouldn't do it if I didn't have to, but it shouldn't be a problem.
