The PR502 is a 2-channel, high-current, 500-series chassis in a desktop or 19" rack-mount format. The assembly process is fairly simple, and does not require dealing with wall power.

Rugged and refined

The PR502's minimalist, all-black chassis is made from anodized aluminum and powder-coated steel. The compact case fits into any desktop setup, while the optional rack ears make the PR502 compatible with standard 19" racks.

High-current, low-noise

Our custom, universal power supply provides up to 250mA of clean current per channel—almost double the 500-series spec—and can power up to four PR502 racks (eight modules). Additional filtering and regulating in the chassis ensures that the power for your modules is stable and dead quiet.

Simplicity is a feature

While the PR502 is designed with an emphasis on simplicity, it is a full-featured 500 rack.

EXACTLY WHAT I NEED ... A PORTABLE 500 SERIES SOLUTION

Well thought out (and well built). This is EXACTLY what is needed to throw a couple of 500 series modules in a backpack and go. Absolutely perfect (almost ... doesn't fit AMS Neve)

Awesome Product

Perfect for my semi professional studio

A Very Useful Product

I have a bunch of larger 500 series racks but bought this one because I was tired of unloading an 11-space rack when I wanted to fire up a new module for the first time. I bought this because I love every DIYRE product I have bought to date, and to use this for module power-up and diagnostics. And If I need a couple extra channels of something in the studio I can just carry it over and use it for a session as well!

Highly recommended!!

Simply Awesome

A trained monkey could put this kit together. It does exactly what you need it to. It’s currently powering a CP5 and a colour pallete. Couldn’t be more happy with the recordings I’ve got so far.

Great Little Box

This was a straightforward DIY build and the result is a really nice, compact 500-series chassis for two DIYRE modules. I’m going to build another (with the daisy-chained power supply) for my expanding DIYRE module hoard. The audio through this box is as clean as a whistle. Keep up the good work, gents.
