ModulAir

19" racks and stage blocks

A good example is the ModulAir system for putting together stage blocks, wall boxes and 19" racks and assembling them yourself if required. In a lot of cases, soldering yourself is not necessary, as the system uses flatcable and 14-pin IDC connectors.

Print as desired

We supply blank 19" panels and stage blocks with printing as required. These can be filled with PCBs containing a set of 4 XLRs, either female or male. There are then mounting holes for multi-connectors with a choice of LK-veam, TEN47, Socapex-337P and Ceep, among others.

The XLR connectors (Neutrik) are per four on a PCB. Of course, there is a choice of male or female, and these PDBs also feature the 14-pin IDC connectors. When replacing faulty components, these only need to be unscrewed and the flatcable can be disconnected. This provides fail-safe connections and can be done in a very short time.	Through the flatcable and its connectors, which can be pinned anywhere on the cable, the XLR-PCBs can also be looped through very simply. This is a very simple way to create a splitter.	The advantages of using flatcable combined with the IDC connectors are obvious. Self-assembly is a piece of cake and replacing components is not nearly as time-consuming as with traditional systems. Soldering is not required.	For the multi-connectors, there is a wide choice of the most commonly used formats: LK-veam, TEN47, Socapex-337P and Ceep. Matching PCBs are supplied for connecting the flatcable. To connect the PCBs to the connectors, simple soldering is required.

Assembling

Finally assembled, the interior of a stage block or 19" rack offers a clear and therefore easy to service assembly. Defects can be tackled with a screwdriver.

Saving time

The main advantage, however, is that you can assemble stage blocks, wall boxes and 19" racks completely as you see fit. Assembly takes a fraction of the time that would otherwise have to be spent soldering the individual connections.
