Powerhouse: the "high-capacity" evolution in the Workhorse spirit
The Radial Powerhouse continues the Workhorse series philosophy with a clear goal: to offer a 500 rack designed for both live and studio use, capable of housing classic 500 modules as well as Radial modules with extended functions. While some 500 chassis only power and connect inputs/outputs, the Powerhouse goes further by providing a wiring and routing infrastructure that speeds up setups, improves patch reliability, and supports advanced configurations (stereo, side-chain, instrument inputs, etc.).
Its 10-module capacity makes it an ideal solution to centralize a collection of preamps, EQs, compressors, and saturations, while maintaining a production-oriented ergonomics: simplified access, abundant connectivity, and quick linking functions inspired by Workhorse DNA.
A 500 rack for demanding studios, mobile control rooms, and production racks
The Powerhouse targets sound engineers, producers, and studios who want to get the most out of the 500 format: density, modularity, and scalability. In recording, it becomes the heart of a compact front-end (preamps + dynamics + EQ) with clean wiring. In mixing, it hosts a suite of analog processors without multiplying chassis. In mobile setups or tour racks, its robust construction protects the investment and minimizes surprises during transport and frequent handling.
Thanks to the combined presence of XLR and TRS, you can easily adapt your wiring to the environment: jack patchbays, XLR multipairs, audio interfaces with balanced TRS, or connections to consoles and stageboxes. The result: a 500 rack that integrates naturally into the existing audio chain without locking you into a single connector standard.

Questions frequently asked
How many 500 modules can the Radial Powerhouse Rack 10 Slots accommodate?
This 500-format chassis can accommodate up to 10 modules across 3 rack units.
What connectivity is available on this 500 rack?
The rear panel features both male and female XLR connectors, as well as equivalent TRS jack inputs and outputs. This setup facilitates integration with a patchbay, audio interface, or mixing console.
How does the internal Feed chaining work?
The "feed" function routes successive modules directly without adding cables between them. This keeps the rear wiring cleaner for a chain of preamps, dynamic processing, or equalization.
Does the Powerhouse allow linking two modules in stereo?
A "Link" switch enables wiring two modules in stereo via simple switching, particularly useful for a pair of dynamic processors.
What is the OMNIPORT used for on each slot?
Each slot includes an OMNIPORT TRS jack. Depending on the installed module, it can serve a dedicated function such as an instrument input or side-chain. The 1.6 A power supply is designed for a fully loaded 500 module rack.
