Description
The SK501 can be used vertically or horizontally. It is built to last, made of two vented pieces of 1mm black powder coated steel. All the threads are done with inserts.
Several SK501's can be attached together creating a custom lunchbox.
The internal power supply is low noise, low radiation. It is made of a very high frequency, shielded PSU module followed by linear regulators for low noise and low ripple. The nominal input voltage is 12 Volts DC but it will work from 6 to 20 Volts. The SK501 is delivered with a 12V power adapter.
The auxiliary stereo jack socket may be used in many ways. The tip and the ring can be individually connected to any of the 9 audio signals available on the 500 series EDAC connector. It is also possible to link 2 pins, breaking the link when a jack plug is inserted. It can be used as input, output, insert, side chain, stereo link, etc...
Overall dimentions: 41 x 140 x 235 mm.

Perfect!
This is a high-quality and useful piece. Kit instructions were great and it went together quickly. I have it standing vertically in the center of the speaker shelf on my console with a 500-series Bluetooth module in it, and wired it into one of the master section tape inputs. It’s dead silent and works beautifully!
