Description
Overview
The Harrison Audio D510 Rackmount Interface Chassis is an ultra-flexible ten-slot 500 Series rack system designed to bring legendary console-grade performance into a modern, modular format. Built on a heritage of sonic excellence that shaped the recordings of industry icons, the D510r serves as a high-performance foundation for artists, producers, and engineers who require a scalable hybrid workflow.
More than just a power supply and frame, the D510r is designed for extreme expandability. By integrating optional interface cards and mixer modules, it can transform from a standard 500 Series rack into a sophisticated analog summing mixer or a fully integrated digital audio interface, providing a professional tracking and mixing rig in a compact 3U footprint.
Key Details
- Ten-Slot Capacity: Provides ample space for a wide array of 500 Series mic preamps, EQs, and dynamics modules.
- Modular Expansion: Supports the optional D510mx mixer card for analog summing and the D510dante or D510ua interface cards.
- Analog Summing Capabilities: When paired with the D510mx, users can create a custom eight-channel Harrison mixer to add analog warmth and a three-dimensional soundstage to digital stems.
- Dante AoIP Integration: Optional Dante interface support allows for seamless integration into live sound environments and studio facilities utilizing the Dante AoIP protocol.
- USB & ADAT Connectivity: The optional D510ua card provides high-performance A/D and D/A converters on every slot, plus four additional D/A converters for headphone mixes (via D510mx), supporting direct DAW integration via USB and up to 16 channels of bi-directional ADAT.
Use Cases
- Portable Tracking Rig: Combine the D510r with eight 32Cpre+ 500 Series mic pre-modules to create a professional, mobile recording setup.
- Hybrid Mixing: Use the analog summing options to blend discrete outputs from drum machines, samplers, or DAW stems for a more organic, cohesive sound.
- Live Sound Integration: Deploy the Dante interface card to integrate high-end 500 Series processing directly into a networked live production workflow.
- Custom Channel Strip Build: Mix and match EQ and Dynamics modules to build a tailored eight-channel mixer tailored to specific sonic requirements.
