{"product_id":"hum-audio-n-closure-6-empty-frame","title":"HUM Audio N-Closure 6 (Empty frame)","description":"\u003cdiv lang=\"en\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHUM Audio N-Closure 6 (Empty Frame)\u003c\/strong\u003e is an 11U rackmount housing designed for up to six N-Strip modules from the N-TROPHY console — ordered separately from the channel strip modules, allowing studio expansion precisely as needed. The housing provides power, internal wiring, and rear-panel connectors for all six slots; empty slots are filled with blank panels. The N-Closure 6 rear panel carries a full complement of balanced XLR and combo sockets — identical to those on the N-TROPHY channel section — for each of the six slots: global line inputs for external sidechain compressor\/limiter circuits, per-channel insert loop inputs and outputs, and channel line outputs with a selectable output tap point — after the preamp or after full channel processing. The built-in power supply handles up to six N-Strip modules, each with an ECC88 tube compressor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eModular expansion without equipment replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe N-Closure 6 can be ordered with any number of installed modules — from zero to six — with additional N-Strip modules purchased and installed independently at any point. This distinguishes it from conventional channel strip racks with fixed configurations: the investment does not require purchasing a full build upfront, and the system grows with the studio. Every slot in the N-Closure 6 is electrically identical — modules can be installed and swapped without touching the housing's internal wiring. For engineers who want console ergonomics without a full console, the N-Closure 6 provides a console-style vertical module layout with each channel's full front panel visible simultaneously. For comparison: the N-Closure 2 (4U, 2 slots) targets stereo recording applications — drum overheads, piano, acoustic guitar — or as a compact two-channel preamp\/processor pair; the N-Closure 6 addresses drum recording setups, multi-channel tracking, and full instrument sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eRear panel and power supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe N-Closure 6 rear panel carries balanced XLR and combo sockets — identical to those on the N-TROPHY channel section — for each of the six slots. Per-slot connections: a global line input for the external sidechain circuit (all installed channels include a switch to select which KEY input they use); insert loop input and output; and a channel line output with a selectable output tap point — after the preamp or after all processing in the channel. An AC power socket on the rear panel feeds the built-in supply, which powers up to six N-Strip modules including their ECC88 tube compressors. Empty slots are covered with blank panels — no open bays in the housing regardless of how many modules are installed.
