The Korena take

12-space studio rack for mounting rack gear in one place. For anyone whose preamps and interfaces are stacked on a desk.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Consolidating outboard preamps and converters in one frame
  • Home studios where rack gear currently sits on shelves
  • Patchbay plus a few processors in a fixed position

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Touring rigs needing a road case with lid and latches
  • Anyone with only one or two rack units to mount
  • Deep power amps that exceed the frame's usable depth

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

12 rack spaces

Room for twelve single-space units, or fewer if you have 2U and 3U gear. Leave a space for airflow above hot units.

Detail 02

Studio rack, not a road case

Open frame built to sit in one room. No lid, no latches, no impact protection for transport.

Detail 03

Standard 19-inch rails

Fits any standard rack-mount unit. Half-rack gear needs an adapter shelf or ears.

Detail 04

Open back and sides

Good airflow for tube preamps and power supplies, and easy cable access from behind.

Detail 05

Black finish

Blends into a studio corner and doesn't show dust or scuffs the way a light finish does.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Rack screws and washers may not be included — check before assembly day
  2. 02Measure your deepest unit; power amps often need more depth than a studio rack gives
  3. 03Some assembly is expected out of the box

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01How many units can I mount?

Twelve single-space (1U) units. A 2U compressor takes two spaces, so a mixed load of preamps and processors will fill it faster than the number suggests.

02Does it come with rack screws?

Don't count on a full set. Buy a pack of rack screws with plastic washers — they protect the faceplates and you'll want spares anyway.

03Can I take this on the road?

It's a studio rack, so no lid or latches. For gigs and touring, get a road case rated for transport instead.

04Will my half-rack gear fit?

Not directly. Half-rack units need a 1U shelf or a pair of rack ears made for that unit.
