xMac Studio (Echo III module) – 3U Rackmount Enclosure with Echo III PCIe Expansion System

(Preconfigured system with modules for Mac Studio and three PCIe cards).

Designed for Three PCIe Cards Expansion – 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/Echo III for pro workflow flexibility; a rugged steel enclosure protects the Mac Studio while a three slot PCIe expansion module provides expansion for up to three PCI cards, including support for up to three Avid Pro Tools | HDX cards.
