I am thinking yes, but my local retailers are clueless. Just want to verify before I order a set to go with the AR.
I think it’s exactly the same size as the Analog Four, so the rack ears made for that should fit. You can also visit Elektron’s online store for more guidance.
thanks Aaron.
the AR arrived today, and in the short 45 minutes i got to play it, i noticed the unit gets quite warm. and the vents on the side of the unit (which i noticed radiate the heat outwards quite easily) will be covered with the rack ears.
i am concerned that blocking these vents will result in the device overheating.
has anyone else noticed their AR getting warm and/or tried to rack it?
I haven’t racked mine, but yes, it gets very warm. That’s just the nature of analog instruments.
agreed… i am just concerned with blocking the vents. i put an email into elektron; i’ll update the thread with their reply.
elektron’s response:
Hello,
I ran this by the head of RND and he reminded me to tell you that we always recommend at least one rack unit free above and below the machine, with this setup it shouldn’t be any concerns.

Frederik,
Thank you for your reply… I just
want to be clear here; completely blocking the side vents of the
AR with the rack ears shouldn’t prevent a problem as long as there is one RU
between the AR and another device?
Yep,
that’s right.
