PROEL RK6N - 19'' 1U Rack Panel Perforated with 6 Holes for XLR/Speakon Connectors (Ø 24mm)
Optimize your cable management and elevate your audio setups with the PROEL RK6N . This 1U perforated cover for 19-inch racks is the ultimate structural solution for sound engineers, installation technicians, and recording studios seeking order and robustness. Meticulously designed by Proel, a leading brand in professional audio accessories, this panel centralizes input and output connections at a single, easily accessible point, eliminating the clutter of loose cables behind your equipment.
Made of high-strength metal with a matte, anti-glare black finish, this faceplate offers exceptional durability, capable of withstanding the rigors of touring and live events. Its design features six precision-drilled holes, 24 mm in diameter , the industry standard for accommodating D-type chassis connectors (such as XLR, Speakon™, PowerCon™, or EtherCon™). By installing this panel, you not only enhance the aesthetics of your rack but also protect the connectors of expensive equipment by transferring the wear and tear of plugging and unplugging to this cost-effective and replaceable faceplate.
Main features
-
Universal compatibility: Designed to the 19-inch standard, it fits perfectly in any standard flight case, server cabinet, or studio furniture.
-
Robust construction: Made of strong steel that ensures structural rigidity, preventing the panel from bending when connecting or disconnecting cables forcefully.
-
Standard perforations: Includes 6 circular 24mm holes, ideal for the vast majority of panel connectors on the market (D format).
-
Professional finish: Scratch and corrosion resistant black epoxy paint coating, maintaining a discreet and elegant appearance.
-
Optimized space: It occupies only one rack unit (1U), maximizing the space available for other processors or power stages.
Benefits for the user
Using the PROEL RK6N radically transforms the configuration of any sound system. By creating a custom patch bay, you drastically reduce setup and teardown time at live events, as all necessary connections are labeled and easily accessible from the front. Furthermore, it simplifies maintenance and troubleshooting by providing clear and organized access to each signal line. For permanent installations, it ensures that internal cabling remains static, reducing the risk of failures due to cable fatigue or accidental pulling.
Recommended use cases
-
Amplifier racks: Ideal for bringing the speaker outputs (Speakon) to the front of the rack for quick connection to the speaker cabinets.
-
Recording studios: Perfect for creating microphone input panels (XLR) that connect directly to the preamps located at the rear.
-
Stages and live performances: Useful for centralizing signal sends and returns in monitor systems or effects processors.
-
Multimedia installations: Excellent for conference rooms where a clean connection point is required for HDMI (using adapters to D format), network or audio.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What type of connectors fit into the holes?
The 24mm holes are designed for standard "D" form factor chassis connectors. This includes most XLR connectors (male and female), Speakon, PowerCon, locking panel jack connectors, and USB/HDMI adapters with this form factor.
-
Does the panel include screws for the connectors?
No, the product consists only of the perforated metal plate. The screws and nuts for attaching the connectors, as well as the rack hardware, are purchased separately according to your specific needs.
-
Is it compatible with computer server racks?
Yes, provided the rack is a standard 19-inch model. It's an excellent option for managing network cabling when using EtherCon connectors or cable glands.
