The U5, M5, and V5 preamplifiers ship at half-rack width, which works fine on a desktop but makes permanent mounting alongside other 19 inch gear in a studio rack awkward. The RM-1 solves this without modifying the preamp's chassis, letting a single unit sit in the same rack enclosure as the rest of the signal chain instead of being kept separately on a shelf or desk.
Permanent Mounting for a Single Half-Rack Unit
The kit adds rack ears to both sides of a single U5, M5, or V5 unit, bringing it to full 19 inch width so it can be screwed into any position in a rack, the same as any other 1U device. This removes the need for improvised solutions like rack shelves or mounting tape, and keeps the whole signal chain, from preamp to dynamics processors, in one organized enclosure.
Mounting Without Modifying the Chassis
Two stainless steel rack ears attach to the sides of the unit using the included eight stainless steel screws, without drilling extra holes into the preamp chassis. This mounting doesn't require opening the unit or touching its internal electronics, so the manufacturer's warranty stays intact, and the whole process comes down to attaching the ears and mounting the unit in the rack.
