Protect Your Tube Gear With This Vented Rack Panel
While world-class control rooms often keep racks of tube gear cool with fans and external venting, such methods may be overkill for small studios. There is, however, an effective heat-mitigation strategy for tube equipment owners on a limited budget, and it involves the use of vented rack panels such as the Hazelrigg Industries VPH. The VPH is a 1U vented rack panel that is color-matched to complement your Hazelrigg Industries gear. Space out your tube units with at least 1U between them; then finish your rack install by attaching VPH panels to fill the open spaces. You’ll not only have a professional-looking rack, but you'll also prolong the life of your tubes and electronics.

Two racks are better than one
If you have lots of tube gear, two racks are better then one! Position one on each side of your console/workstation and distribute heat-generating equipment evenly between the racks using the same spacing methodology. In addition to protecting your investment in high-end tube equipment, there’s a side benefit to arranging your racks in this way. If you live in a colder climate like we do (yes, we’re totally serious here), being flanked by dual racks set up in this fashion will keep you warm in winter, while cutting down on heating costs. So, there it is: the lowly vented rack panel elevated to the lofty status of gear savior and green energy hero. We bet you’ll never think of blank rack panels the same way again!
