TipTop Audio Mantis Eurorack Modular Synthesizer Case (White / Red Legs, 208 HP)

Modular synthesizer enthusiasts in search of a low-cost professional Eurorack enclosure will be impressed with the white / red legs Tiptop Audio Mantis Case, a rugged 2 x 104 (208) HP Eurorack case that's lightweight (6.5 lb) and portable. The Mantis case features three different positions (0, 5, 90° ), thanks to the integrated legs and stand. The case utilizes real Z-Rails to ensure Eurorack compatibility. No sliding nuts or wrong spacing.

The Mantis case features a robust 3-zone Zeus power supply with integrated bus boards, offering 36 Eurorack keyed connectors, which simplify installation and ensure the correct power cable positioning. Up to three Mantis cases can be connected with optional studio brackets, creating a cost effect way to build a massive 624 HP enclosure.

Mantis Case

• Mantis has two rows of 104 HP for you to rack your modules. It comes fully powered and assembled, just drop in your modules and play.
• Module Depth: 2.0" (upper row), 2.4" (lower row)
• Using its sophisticated leg mechanism, you can set it to three different positions: 0, 45, and 90 degrees.
• With Mantis, say bye-bye to the tedious, never-ending calculation of current consumption for the ± 12V power. Mantis comes with a juicy Zeus power supply that delivers plenty of power both now and for the future.
• Mantis comes with real Z-Rails made according to Eurorack enclosure standards. No sliding nuts or wrong spacing. It also has keyed power connectors to help protect your modules from damage from plugging the power in in reverse.
• Weighing only 6.5 lb, Mantis is so light, traveling has never been so relaxed.
• Mantis Studio Brackets: Using the optional bracket accessory Mantis can be tripled up to 624 HP. Multiply your Mantis' and watch your studio setup grow.
• Optional Mantis Bag: Padded travel bag is designed as a backpack and uses waterproof material that keeps the elements out too. The bag opens up fully for easy access and features a padded interior to protect your Mantis and has enough room to add an optional Decksaver cover, which lets you transport your Mantis patched up to two Stackcables high.

Zeus Power Supply and Busboards

Zeus Power

• The top row has two sections, A and B:
• Section A Upper left side +12V 1000mA
• Section B Upper right side +12V 1000mA
• Section C The lower socket row +12V 1000mA
• The -12V and +5V are shared with all three zones

Dual DC Ports

• The power jack on top of your Mantis is for use when the case is lying flat. The power jack on the bottom of the back of the case is intended for use when setting the Mantis to the 45- or 90-degree upright positions. Using the bottom power jack when the case is upright allows the power adapter to lay on the table which prevents strain from the weight of a hanging power supply.

SyncBus Distribution Connector

The SyncBus signal distribution connector offers the future possibility of synchronizing Tiptop Audio sequencers in separate Mantis cases with expanded capabilities compared to using simple patch cables. Although not fully developed, the SyncBus allows the Mantis case to be future-ready as Tiptop Audio develops these potential capabilities. Only connect to the external SyncBus connector using genuine Tiptop Audio products.
