1900 boxes work for me.

I would rather have a nice rack mount piece with a 50 amp connector and separate breakers for individual circuits. Cleanliness is always a big thing with me. I feel like it leaves a little better impression on the client too when they can't differentiate the gear you bought from the gear you made. Nobody mass produces anything with 1900 boxes besides the company that makes those boxes. ::) granted I do have stage stringers that are made from them I'm just looking for an "in the box" solution.


Thanks for the input guys

You're not powering the QSCs from the Furman, are you?   :o

Thanks Nils, this is more of what I was looking for just wasn't sure of any manufacturers. Is this a pretty narrow market or do most companies just make their own distros?

Yes I have all my amps plugged into the furman, two pl340's and a 380.  ::) ::) ;D ;D


No, I plug my DC One into it  and sometimes my monitor console. I mainly use it as a Volt Meter though.

Michael,

I think this is a pretty narrow market, with a few companies making these types of distros.  When I bought mine, lots of people here also recommended Jim from Amp Shop for building these.  I went with the Motion because it is a listed product which I was familiar with.

Cheers,
Nils

I got mine from Amp Shop and have been very happy with it.
