High-performance 6-slot 500 Series Rack

The Fredenstein Bento 6S "module carrier" is a high-performance 500 Series chassis that accommodates six modules in a 2U compact form factor. Fredenstein designed the Bento 6S with several features that set it apart from many other 500 Series racks we've encountered here at Sweetwater. Its hefty output current capability handles virtually any combination of modules. Onboard audio routing lets you daisy-chain modules with a simple flip of a switch on the back panel. Compressor bus linking lets you link compressor modules by engaging rear-panel switches. And each slot is fitted with an auxiliary audio input and output, for convenient insertion of effects and the like. Utilitarian features of the Fredenstein Bento 6S include a multilayer backplane for enhanced signal integrity and lower noise floor, a master ground-lift switch, and a switching-regulator universal power supply designed for extremely low noise.

Fredenstein Bento 6S 500 Series Chassis Features:

  • 6-slot 500 Series rack
  • Onboard audio routing
  • Compressor bus linking
  • Auxiliary audio inputs and outputs
  • Multilayer backplane
  • Ground-lift switch
  • Module Power: ±16V DC 1.6A, +48V DC 0.15A
  • Universal power supply accepts voltages from 90V to 240V AC, 50 to 60Hz
  • Carry handle and 2 sets of rubber feet for convenient portability

Rated 5/5

AWESOME!

I definitely recommend to anyone starting out on 500 series!

Rated 5/5

500 6 slot

Voltage is great to run any 500 series module even the higher voltage ones.
Rated 5/5

Solid, affordable , quiet chassis

This Bento box is solid, well-built, and does exactly what it says in the description. Mine is totally silent, connects easily, and works like a charm. I've got 4 modules in mine currently and can't wait to fill the other 2 slots. The Auxiliary inputs are a nice touch, even though I don't use them currently. Best of all, the money I saved on this box compared to others allowed me to spend more on modules, and this one works as well as any I've seen.

Nice 500 chassis

I've heard that these (along with pretty much all other budget friendly chassis) can be noisy with certain modules. But, thats not my experience with the bento 6s- it has worked flawlessly so far, and the build quality is solid.
