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.

  • THRU jack for powering additional racks
  • LED power indicators for +/-16 and +48v
  • Neutrik XLR audio jacks
  • FEED feature turns your PR502 into a channel strip by patching channel 1 into channel 2 without a cable
  • Compressor link
  • 11" x 8" x 1.7" without rack ears

Beginner friendly

Assembling the PR502 is safe and easy, thanks to the external power supply and our step-by-step instructions.

Estimated build time: 1 hour

Great rack

This this sounds clean! I am so impressed for the money. The power supply seems like it will last. The tops and the bottom metal are a little flimsy but for the 1 hour build and sound I am very happy! Thank you

Good quality 2-Slot Chassis Kit with some weak spots

Build process was easy, excellent building instructions online.Quality components included.The included power supply can easily power a 2nd device.
But the top and bottom cover lid is unstable.you can easily bend the lid even with one finger if you press in the middle. it needs some supporting brackets/ spacers in the centre area. if this will be fixed, i would give 5-Stars Rating.

Excellent product and support

I had a hell of a time figuring out some issues with my build (PR502 + 2 color pres). Ended up needing to send in for repairs. Peterson was incredibly helpful and got my build working correct. Sounds great and can't wait to use it on some upcoming projects. Thanks guys!

Great 500 chassis in a small package

I've been through several kits among different purveyors. This was well laid-out, with excellent instructions. The unit is all metal, and well machined. I just wish there was an on/off switch. It's well worth the money, especially when you consider that you can stack a few more chassis with the single power supply. Highly recommended!

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)
