Fredenstein Bento 8 Pure Analog 8-slot 500 Series Chassis

Description

High-power, Low-noise 500 Series Rack
Fredenstein designed the Bento 8 Pure Analog module carrier with several features that set it apart from many other 500 Series racks we’ve encountered here at Sweetwater. First, the Bento 8 chassis is designed to deliver robust, ultra-clean power that will satisfy even the most demanding 500 Series modules. Its linear power supply consists of a mains transformer and linear regulators — a topology that provides the cleanest power for your modules. Many linear power supplies cannot deliver high enough output currents, but Bento 8 outputs ±16-volt DC 2A and +48-volt DC 0.25A, 500mA per slot — which is sufficient for even the most power-hungry modules.Extensive shielding to eliminate induced hum
Another drawback of the typical linear power supplies used in 500 Series is that they are prone to hum when the mains transformer is induced directly into modules’ input and output transformers — especially

Extensive shielding to eliminate induced hum
Another drawback of the typical linear power supplies used in 500 Series is that they are prone to hum when the mains transformer is induced directly into modules’ input and output transformers — especially for modules that occupy the slot nearest the supply. Bento 8 incorporates extensive shielding of the mains transformer to eliminate induced hum. If you want the best performance from your 500 Series modules, know that the chassis on which they are mounted makes a difference. Keep your modules happy with the Bento 8 Pure Analog module carrier from Sweetwater!
