Description
Welcome to the new MDLRCASE portable Eurorack case; the 12U 104HP Performer Series MKI.
We’ve been listening to modular artists and believe this new MDLRCASE offers the best solution for those in need of a flexible portable case.
Using a detachable middle “ring” allows you to patch your rig and leave it patched before heading to your next gig, it also functions as a rock solid stand giving you the perfect angle to access your modules during your performances. By using this design where the modules are not sitting deep in the case, you have full and easy access to all your beloved modules.
Starting with reliability in mind we build our cases with Penn Elcom components for maximum durability and apply a two-component coating solution that adds an extra layer of protection to your serious investment. We want to make sure your gear is working great in the studio or at a live event.
What’s new for the MKI version?
We totally re-engineered the Eurorack rails set, which resulted in a weight loss of over 40%. We kept the original design and asked our eurorack rails supplier to cut away the bottom part of the rails, which in our case is not used at all.
The next step was redesigning the existing side plates to replace the aluminum ones with a whole new concept, 3D printed side plates. We designed and developed a new concept of easy to assemble side plates, which were all 3D printed in our “in house” 3D printing factory. The side plates are made with one of the toughest polymers used for 3D printing and are accurately measured, sturdy, and robust. By using this additive manufacturing production technique, we also reduced the weight of the side plates with an overall weight loss of 190%
The new PSU solution comes from the makers of MDLR PWR as well. Our partners at Konstanlab designed this small but yet powerful Boardpower PSU which will replace the whole 220V PSU line for a completely safe and compact power solution.
The 4 busboards, in this case, offer the ability to connect 80 modules, so you’re always sure to have all your favorite creative tools on hand.
