Finally able to rack my UAD Satellites

Post by alexdingley » Sat Jun 18, 2022 11:44 am

I got tired of stacking these under my desk + I"m gonna be making some changes to the studio desk soon, and I'll need a safe spot out of the way for some of my computer peripherals, so I decided to hack a vented rack panel into a set of dual-ears for the UAD satellites.

Had to buy a decent pair of tin snips, but it worked great!

Check it out!

There was some prototyping on the first rack panel, but I had some slight miscalculations in overall width.

Thanks!

Based on the weight of the two units, it tends to sag if I put it in the deeply-angled rack pods of my desk. But down in the normal straight rack bays, where the units are level with the floor, it will stay straight. Frankly these never need to be touched in the rack, so I’m gonna rack them out of the way, so that they’re safe and staying out.
