Fredenstein Bento 8 Pure Analog 8-slot 500 Series Chassis
Sells separately for $399.00Fredenstein 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.

Turning the Color knob dials in Fredenstein's innovative variable Color circuit and treating your signal to sweet, tube-like level-dependent harmonic enhancement.
