10U inspired by EMS VCS3 for Christopher Walters

From €415

A homage to the 1969 classic by EMS, the VCS3. I was inspired by its angles and the iconic slots which apparently were speaker openings in the original. After the 3d model, I made this final version in 10U 84HP Solid Oak, oiled with linseed oil in ‘walnut’ colour … so happy how it all came together! Since then I have made quite a few of these with some small adaptations to the original and most important .. more sizes and colours!

Dimensions: My 10U model based on the VCS3 is app. 35cm deep and 39cm high. Width depends on the amount of HP (84HP is 427mm, 104HP is 529mm, 126HP is 641mm, 160HP is 813mm) + 12mm sidepanels on each side.

Power supply
HammerPWR & SeventyPWR are externally powered from a power brick. This creates the option to fully wire the system for you and ready to go, since there is no high voltage inside the case. These power supplies have been developped for Eurorack specifically, are known for their power & low noise but to come at a cost.

- HammerPWR (100 Watt output) + MeanWell 120Watt adapter, +12V 5A (2x 2.5A), -12V 2.5A and +5V 2.0A

- SeventyPWR (70 Watt output) + MeanWell 90 Watt adapter, +12V 2.5A, -12V 2.5A, +5V 2.0A


Calculation power output example based on ModularGrid:
(1.6A on +12V = 19,2W) + (0.8A on -12V = 9,6W) + (0.1A on 5V = 0,5) = Total output power of 29,3 Watt

Bussboards

Power to your modules are supplied by bussboards

When you select a MeanWell PSU, the amount of bussboards you select here are the Modular Synth Lab Bussboards with 20 headers
When you've select a HammerPWR or SeventyPWR as PSU, the selected bussboards here will the Konstantlab's filtered bussboards with 19 connectors each.

Recommended to have a maximum of 3 or 4 bussboards per PSU.

Choose for a DIY cable kit and assemble it yourselves/with local help. or choose for a system where all low-voltage cables have been pre-wired! For the HammerPWR & SeventyPWR PSU this means that the case is ready to go, with the Meanwell RT65B you'll only need to connect the socket(s) to the PSU('s).

Shipping box (optional)
Alternatively to the shipping crates, I now also offer super-strong triple-layered cardboard boxes for the smaller cases. The case itself is packed inside with foam blocks. Quite a good solution for international transport!
