Great to nice and easy power management in Your rack or studio.
Ok, so I bought this one as replacement after returning other device and I could not be more happy. This works as expected, it does not create any unwanted noises and I can recommend it to anyone who has many devices plugged in and does not want to turn each one all the time. For example I have plugged in
- Torpedo Live
- Clarett 8Pre
- Yamaha HS-8
- Yamaha HS-8
- Guitar Effects Power Supply
I can easily turn any of them individually and I can avoid standing up every time when I want turn on or off my Yamaha Monitors. It helped me organize my cables and power management.
If this device would be broken I would immediately buy second one - that can explain how irreplaceable is this device.
Build quality is good enough :)

Good product but room for improvement
The product does what you'd expect and the quality and finish are good, but it has two major shortcomings in my opinion.
The first and biggest is the fact that the sockets are angled. This is not a problem if you are plugging cables, but try to plug several bulkier wart power supplies and you have a problem: they don't fit! This way you end up being able to use just 3 out of 6 sockets. I really can't think of any good reason why they couldn't just use straight sockets. I intend to buy a the t.racks Power 8 S straight (Thomann item number 427859) which has straight sockets, and swap them out. The second thing is the main cable which comes out of the side instead of the back. Depending on your rack, you may find it doesn't fit comfortably and you'll need to awkwardly bend the cable to get it to go in.
All that said, based on reviews here are no better alternatives, so overall this is still a relatively good product.

Does what it needs to do.
During the wait for a budget sequencer, I am using this at a school setup for instructing people to turn on audio equipment in a reasonable fashion (amps last).
Note that this is a little deeper than the other t.racks power distributor products (unfortunately) which led to some less available racking options.

The t.racks Power MS6
We don?t stop learning from our colleagues' musicians friends.
I was just visiting and working in a music studio in south France and found the t.racks Power MS6 in the studio. Was exactly what I was looking for in order to organize my chaos at home.
What a nice feeling when you just switch the knobs on the t. rack Power MS6 and everything in your studio is on at once.
It would be nice if they would have a Power rack with the possibilities to plug in twelve different devices, in a 19" rack space.
So far, so good!

Useful but low quality
I have one for a few months. I’ve been using the three rightmost sockets to separately power my monitors, racks and console (with a power conditioner on each line). Very convenient and low profile, sitting there in the bottom of the rack.
The quality is so-so at best. One of the switches started to fail to completely disconnect power and I get spurious brief power ups on a couple of devices connected to that socket. Another switch, one of the unused ones, is no longer turning off, it has lost its click.
I find it very surprising that a thing as simple as a switch can fail so ridiculously. One would think that as a civilization we would have solved the problem of reliability in switches long ago. Disappointing.

good quality to price ratio
I've used this rack to connect 6 different keyboards, I can now switch them on/off from one place individually instead of having to reach to difficult places, with the added bonus that they are all individually protected by fuses.
Good quality case and silent.

I use it to have a easy acces to the power of my equipment
A really nice addition to my home studio, now I have quick access in my rack to the power of my monitors (and many other elements) and there's no need to move them to access to the power button, or move a lot of equipment.

Super useful and uninvasive
A rather simple product, yet very useful for my setup.
Buttons are easily accessible, doesn't take up so much rack space and there's enough space for custom labels.

Nice power rack
Works great - switches are solid and are bright enough to see even in direct sunlight. Very happy. Would buy another If I need more sockets in the future
