Sonnet xMac Studio 3U Rackmount System With Echo III Thunderbolt 5 Module

Sonnet xMac Studio 3U Rackmount System with Echo III Thunderbolt 5 Module

Sonnet xMac Studio with Echo III T5 Module integrates a Mac Studio (sold separately) into a compact, rugged steel 3U rackmount enclosure with a preinstalled 3-slot Thunderbolt 5 to PCIe card expansion module. Together they provide a flexible solution for demanding audio, video and other professional workflows.

The enclosure secures a Mac Studio while the Echo III T5 Module adds three PCIe card slots, so you can use specialty I/O and processing cards, including video capture, audio DSP, 10Gb and 25Gb Ethernet, SSD storage and SAS host bus adapters. The Mac Studio computer and PCIe cards are sold separately.
