This one shot thing is so cool. I've always wanted your DIs out on the floor vs in the rack. Plus you can take the pre amps to ribbon mics... this is so cool.

New and improved CH02 chassis kits are now shipping! Just some of the many improvements include:
  • New power supply, PS04, mounted on right side of chassis.
  • Fuse easily accessible on back panel.
  • Illuminated logo indicates power supply health on front panel.
  • Power switch wiring is simpler, low-voltage, and DC.
  • Front sub-panels have counter-bored screw holes for a cleaner look.
  • Closer part tolerances for easier assembly.
Updated assembly instructions with many more photos are up now.

For those who don't know, the CH02 is a road-worthy 2RU chassis designed to hold up to eight Seventh Circle modules in any combination. Standard features include:
  • High voltage supply rails can offer almost double the headroom of a standard 500-series rack.
  • Rugged, heavy gauge cold rolled steel for superior durability and shielding from external magnetic fields.
  • Super-strong 3/16" aluminum front panels with black anodized finish and white laser engraving.
  • Clear chromate plating for excellent grounding.
  • Eight internal dividers to support heavy modules.
  • Split rear flange for easy module installation.
  • Power supply compatible with any mains voltage world-wide.
  • Incredible value
  • Designed and built in USA
We're still ramping up, so expect a 3 to 5 day lead time before your order ships.

Congrats on the new release, Tim!

I have one question: I have a "v2" chassis ... will you still have not-counter-bored sub panels available to match the ones I already have?

Thanks,
Adam.

Probably for a while yet. Let us know your preference when you place an order.
