A couple of years ago I bought the Moog Sound Studio with DFAM & Subharmonicon (glad I got it when I did since they are no longer available). I recently decided I’d like to have 2 DFAMs in the rack instead (still keeping the SubH) - it arrived yesterday and I got to work!
I couldn’t find the original sheet explaining how to rack mount the units, but I don’t think it would have helped, because you can’t do one side first, then the other - you have to remove the entire unit, then insert the new one. It might not be that big a deal, but it’s conceptually different so I thought I’d point it out in case anyone else decides to do something similar.
- take the screws out of the rack mounted unit (bottom ones have washer, top ones don’t)
- remove the screws from the new unit and put them in the older one (at least 1-2 each side to hold it together)
- insert new unit into rack - CAUTION: the sides (both wood & metal) will fall off if you’re not careful
- you might need to lift the unit around a bit to get the screws to fit
I managed it without tipping the rack on its side - I was actually pleasantly surprised how easily it went - just need to be careful and methodical. And I love having 2 DFAMs to work with!
