Hammond Manufacturing’s model 1590 die-cast enclosures

Die-cast enclosures suit two very different requirements

Color-coded to provide visual quick identification on stage, model 1590 die-cast STOMP box enclosures are typically used for producing guitar effects, such as distortion, wah-wah, delay, chorus, and phaser. Available in two new sizes — the 254 x 70 x 35-mm 1590 BX2 and the 254 x 70 x 51-mm 1590 BX — they now allow multiple pedals to be mounted in a single enclosure. What’s more, these sizes are also being specified for a completely different requirement: a radio antenna splitter where multiple local feeds are broken out from the incoming aerial. In both applications, the intrinsic RFI shielding, the mechanical strength, and the environmental sealing of the enclosure are key requirements.

A lap joint seals the units to IP54, protecting against the ingress of dust and water, and the painted finish is only applied to the external surfaces, maintaining RFI integrity. The 1590 is also available as standard in natural finish or with a satin black painted finish. All sizes can be supplied factory-modified with machining and silk screening to the user’s specification.
