Great looking and very functional cabinet.
Nice use of a surround centre speaker.
Excellent setup!

That speaker is actually a Voice Master Pro designed for radio communications. Its frequency response is much narrower than a normal speaker. They are are sold direct on eBay. It is not cheap, but it is a great speaker for this application. I feed the audio from my IC-7300, IC-7100, BCD536, and PC (for SDRs) through the Behringer mixer into the speaker.

I built the equipment rack myself.

Nice clean setup. I do have a question on how you wired up your power. Is that all on a separate dedicated circuit (its own breaker) and how did you connect it from box to box?

It is not on a separate breaker. My shack is in a bedroom turned office. The bedroom has a dedicated circuit protected by an arc fault breaker. The metal outlet boxes have punch out openings in the side. I ran the wires through those with appropriate fittings to protect the romex. I used metal outlet boxes to make it easy to keep all of the ground connections bonded together.

It appears that you're running a Wellbrook antenna too.. Did you modify the power inserter? Or is that the way it came? (Mine uses the BNC on the opposite side of the cable going to the rig..

No mods. My Wellbrook has been out of service for a while. The AC adapter has burned up. I am going to power it directly from my 13.8v ham power supply. Tricky though as the DC plug is wired in reverse compared to most (center pin is ground).
