Compact Rack Integration
The PowerGrid Duo fits two 500-series modules in a single rack unit, providing a space-saving solution for efficient recording and mixing setups without sacrificing functionality.
KEY FEATURES
The Serpent PowerGrid Duo is a two-slot 500-series chassis that houses and powers two modules in a 1U, 19-inch rackmount enclosure, with XLR and TRS inputs and outputs, ground lift switches, internal feed routing and recessed module slots.
Compact Rack Integration and Stable Power
The PowerGrid Duo accommodates two 500-series modules horizontally within a single rack unit, making it a practical foundation for a compact recording or mixing signal chain. Its power supply delivers stable power to both modules, while the 19-inch enclosure integrates directly into a conventional studio equipment rack.
Versatile XLR and TRS Connectivity
XLR and TRS inputs and outputs provide connection options for studio interfaces, patchbays and other outboard equipment. These connections simplify integration with existing cabling and support flexible signal routing around the installed modules.
Internal Routing Between Modules
Feed switches route the output of channel one directly to the input of channel two without an external patch cable. This arrangement simplifies serial processing, such as connecting a microphone preamp to an equaliser or compressor, and reduces cabling around the rack.
Ground Lift Switches for Hum Control
Ground lift switches help address ground-related hum, including the 60 Hz interference identified in the product specification. They provide a practical troubleshooting option when connected equipment introduces unwanted hum into the signal path.
Recessed Slots for a Flush Appearance
The recessed slots align the installed modules’ faceplates with the chassis front panel. This layout gives the complete assembly a consistent appearance alongside other 19-inch rack equipment.
