easy

simple to assemble, works like a champ! A couple pins on the ribbon cable were bent on mine but dont let that scare you, that's just part of the process sometimes. Just gently straightnen them and you're in there!

500EXT extender kit

Great kit. 10/10. My only observations are I believe the instructions could point out that the female EDAC edge connector installation should be oriented so the numbers align with the card edge orientation. The female connector has 1-15 and A- S cast into the plastic. This is great, if installed with the correct orientation. Also, if the ribbon cable was a little longer, it would provide some additional service space..

Very easy kit!

The 500 series extender was easy to put together. Instructions were clear and I had it done in 20 minutes. It was perfect to tune my 73p mic pre. Also great to test my other 500 series modules. Found that one of my pres didn’t quite fit in my RND R6 rack, and that’s why it didn’t work correctly. I wouldn’t have known otherwise and would have assumed the pre was defective.
