xMac Studio (no module) – 3U Rackmount Enclosure with empty bay

(Preconfigured system with module for Mac Studio and bay for expansion module).

Designed for Mac Studio with Expansion Bay to Connect Speciality Audio and Video Cards

For many creative professionals, PCIe card expansion is not an option – its a necessity for connecting specialty cards to handle audio and video post-production projects. xMac Studio is a rugged steel 3U rackmount enclosure for securing a Mac Studio with optional PCIe card expansion module in a rack, placing the Mac Studio behind a quick and easy to remove front panel. Sonnet designed the xMac Studio for pro workflow flexibility; a rugged steel enclosure protects the Mac Studio while an expansion bay provides the option for a Sonnet Echo III or Echo I PCIe Card Expansion Module.
