Mercury D Series G810 Rack System 1 Complete with 2.6A PSU 1

OVERVIEW

The Mercury D Series G810 Rack System solves the biggest complaint for users of other ‘500 racks’ in the marketplace, lack of power. Especially when using products that are not built to the specifications of the ‘500’ standard. The products not built to that standard take more than their share of the power to work, which, in turn, causes problems with all other modules in the rack. This is not an issue with the Mercury D Series G810 Rack System.

The power specification for the Mercury D Series G810 Rack System is much higher than the spec of the ‘500’ Standard. Providing more power does not solve the power problems of ‘500’ Racks, so, Mercury successfully designed a better Power Structure not just providing more amps/watts. Mercury designed the Mercury Power Regulation Circuit as a solution to ‘500’ Rack power problems. The Mercury Power Regulation Circuit is not only in the rack, it is on every channel of the rack offering individual regulation per channel. The Mercury D Series G810 Rack System is the first ‘500’ Rack to have this feature and that is why we feel this is not only a better rack but a better system overall. The Mercury Power Regulation Circuit allows each channel to be isolated from the channel next to it or any other channel in the rack, which will protect from faults or emissions from problematic modules. No module in the Mercury D Series G810 Rack System shares DC power with another module in the rack.

In addition to the Mercury Power Regulation Circuit, there is also the Mercury Soft Start Circuit featured in the Mercury D Series G810 Rack System as well. The Mercury Soft Start Circuit allows power to ‘ramp up’ slowly and will gradually and gently apply voltage to your expensive D Series or ‘500 Series’ modules when you power up. This is better for your modules as well it reduces the danger to woofers that could be damaged with a ‘turn-on’ thump when part of a larger system.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Rock Solid Construction:

The Mercury D Series G810 Rack System is simply built like a Tank. Like all Mercury Recording Equipment Co. products, the Mercury D Series G810 Rack System is engineered to be reliable and look good in your studio but built to be road-worthy.

Flexible:

On the back panel of the Mercury D Series G810 Rack System 1, there are Gold Pin XLRs (for channels 1-10) and DB25 (DSUB) connectors for channels 1-8 to give you choices of how you install your system. The Mercury D Series Line will have several choices of power supplies to be able to power a single rack or several in the future. The first is the Mercury D Series PSU-1. All Mercury D Series Power Supplies feature Studio Quality, Low Noise, and Linear Power designed for Audio. The D Series PSU-1 Power supply is also rack-mountable or can sit on the tabletop next to the rack or on the floor etc… You can also mount two D Series PSU-1 Power Supplies together as a dual 1U unit to save valuable rack space, and there are places for optional feet on the bottom if needed.

Plenty of Features:

The Mercury D Series G810 Rack System 1 has many features to make your recording experience easier.

• The G810 Chain Switch (per channel) – This switch allows simple, convenient, internal signal flow among modules.

Example: If you have a Mic pre in Channel 1 of your Mercury D Series G810 Rack System, an EQ in Channel 2, and a Limiter in Channel 3, you could plug your Microphone cable in the input of Channel 1 and an XLR Cable into the Output of Channel 3 directly to your recording device and engage the Chain Switch on Channel 1 and 2 and they will all be “Chained” together.

*Note: This also works if you are using DB25 connectors to your patch bay as well.

• The G810 Link Switch (per channel) – This switch provides the ‘Linking’ of modules that support that feature.
• Ground Lift – The ability to ‘lift’ the ground connection to ensure quiet operation in all environments.

The Future:

The Mercury D Series G810 Rack System is the first of numerous Mercury D Series Systems that will feature Mercury D Series Modules, like Preamps, EQs, and Limiters. Moreso, there are many new products and problem-solving tools for engineers to make the gear they already use better. The Mercury D Series G810 Rack System has 10 slots, 1-8 are designed for Mercury D Series or any ‘500 Series’ Module, and you can also install these on slots 9 and 10 as well. Soon, there will be several Mercury G8 Modules for slots 9 and 10 that will allow you to expand the capabilities of the Mercury D Series G810 Rack System, enhance the ease of audio recording, and offer additional choices at your fingertips.
