Topic: DTOX-16: Fastener Specs?

The official documentation for the DTOX-16 does not include specifications for the fasteners used to hold the panels together or the rack ears on. I'm running it un-racked with the rack ears uninstalled using some adhesive sorbothane feet. Unfortunately, the screw holes used to hold the ears on appear to go all the way through the outer case, so when the ears and screws are removed, the interior is no longer sealed. I can reinstall the included screws, but they are countersunk into the ears, so they look awkward when screwed into the bare panel. Therefore, I'd like to order some replacement panhead screws that will sit properly against the panel surface. Does anybody know the diameter, thread spacing, and thread pitch for the rack ear screws?

Do your self a favor and buy a rack box.

The scews you ask I expect they are M4 x 4 mm but I didn't found exact specs. Having the holes open does not harm the unit.

I really don't need a rack box. It's a peculiarity of my setup that the most convenient way to run the DTOX-16 is resting on a surface rather than in one of my racks. Adding bulk is undesirable.

Re: DTOX-16: Fastener Specs?

Up to you, no problem, I just remember my homerecording time when I bought my first rack box, it was a relief to have better space (on top of the box and inside on the bottom of the box ) taking away the rack ears from a rack unit is where the clutter starts (for me).

Non the less : happy recordings

It's an ISO7045 M4x6-4.8.

Excellent, thanks!

UPDATE: Received some screws today from McMaster-Carr. They match perfectly. Problem solved!
