Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
SixPack is a desktop 500-series power rack that holds and powers up to six modules, giving a studio a compact place to build a stereo channel strip or a more individual signal path. Its 14-gauge steel enclosure, baked enamel finish, and side handle support moving it around the studio. Rear XLR and 1/4-inch TRS connections are wired in parallel for multing or cross-patching, while D-Sub connectors add Workstation integration. Front XLRs, feed and link switching, and Omniport expand how the installed modules can be routed.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio workspaces building a stereo channel strip from up to six 500-series modules.
- Engineers cross-patching installed modules through parallel rear XLR and 1/4-inch TRS connections.
- Workstation-based setups using the rack’s 25-pin D-Sub connectivity.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Configurations requiring more than six 500-series modules in one rack.
