Pro Control Mounting Brackets

[Barry Johns]

I am in need of two sets of these. Anybody out there have any you want to sell.

Or, is there anyone who is willing to let me rent theirs for a week so I can use them as temple to have them fabricated?

I have a 48 ch ProControl and had the same problem, I didn't have any mounting brackets. I solved the problem this way:

- remove the fader panels of each unit (disconnect all faders and connectors of the upper PCB's)

- at both sides of a main unit or a fader pack there are some holes pre-drilled (you can attach the plastic sides of main unit here)

- use a metal drill to enlarge these holes on all the units that touch each other (I left the outer holes untouched so I could reattach the plastic sides)

- bolt each fader pack or main unit to the next one

- replace the fader panels of each unit (reconnect all the faders and all the connectors of the upper PCB's)

It sounds difficult, but in fact it easy to do and this method works very well (IMHO it is stronger then using the mounting brackets). But still all the units needs to be supported by a frame or desk. Only bolting them together is not strong enough (neither are the mounting brackets).

In my case (48 ch.), I used a large wooden plate supported by multiple mixing desk stands stands to support the entire 48 ch. ProControl. I also lifted the back side of the entire ProControl a few inch because I liked it that way (it's more ergonomic)

Maybe in your case (24 ch) only bolting them together and supporting them with a simple mixing desk stand could be sufficient, but I would advise to make it as sturdy as possible (people tend to lean on mixing desks, so make sure it can handle it)

Thank you so much for this! Very good idea!
