DJ switches?

[joenano]

Ok I don't know whats it's called but I need one. It has around ten red toggle switches or something like that. What's it called and where can I get one.

guitar center should have one... or look on line they are by american dj http://www.musictrends.com/pc100a-power-strip-p-11243.html

I use these....never had a problem. Plus the switches are blue lighted instead of red, which I find more pleasant (matter of taste I guess). It's about $10 more than the ones posted above.

Got em on Ebay, just search for "Rack Switch". Here's one (if the link works).

never thought about using something like that instead of power strips. would be a whole hell lot easier than unplugging things every time. might just have to buy me one

i got one from guitar center and got the protection plan and they have replaced it once already covered in the salt creep

I was at someone's house picking up some frags an dthey had a very nice set up, and they were using the switches. I am setting up a frag tank and figured I would try to clean all the wires up from the display tank.
Otisfor me, do remember what they were going for at guitar center?

$30 at Guitar Center, love mine no more unplugging cords or turning off/on timers.

How do you have yours mounted? I see it's made for a rack. Just curious.

How do you handle timers with these?

How long is the electrical cord? Short or long? Like 4 foot or 10 foot?

The plugs are alot farther apart than you would think you can place a timer for each plug, just have to remember when you flip the switch off that the timmer stops running too. I just a timer for a fuge light so only one timer is used.

As far as mounting you can cut out a hole and flush mount it. I mounted mine on the side of a 2x4 in my stand screwing the top to another 2x4 and the bottom to a peice of blocking I mounted.

There is thread where a guy used a shelf, screwed it to the sides of the shelf and used hinges and window locks to allow it to swing down so you could access the plugs. I would do this if it was going in my display stand.
Like this

There is another I like better but thats the idea just use window locks at the hinge to lock the unit in place.
