Tiptop Audio / Mantis Black

Mantis is a powered case for Eurorack modular synthesizers, allowing you to build affordable, mid-sized modular systems.

Mantis is a powered case for Eurorack modular synthesizers that allows you to build a mid-sized modular system at an affordable price. The beautifully curved case can hold up to 208HP (104HP x 2 levels) of modules. Since it is equipped with a large-capacity power supply, you rarely have to worry about mounting modules while doing so. The main unit can be set to three positions depending on the situation in which it is used.

For users who are just starting out with modular synthesizers and for heavy users alike. Mantis is a solution for modular users.

Large mounting space One of the problems modular synthesizer users face is mounting space. If you mount your favorite modules one after another, the space will fill up quickly. Mantis has a space of 208HP, which is medium-sized for a modular synthesizer case. You will rarely have to give up on the modules you wanted to mount because there is not enough space left.

The mounting rails, which determine the comfort of using a modular synth, are Tiptop Audio's sturdy steel mounting rails, ""Z-Rails."" The rails contain bar nuts, so even beginners can easily mount modules. The connectors on the bus board that connect the modules are protected, so there is no need to worry about plugging in the wrong cable when connecting it to the bus board.

In any position depending on the situation
The Mantis can be used in three different positions depending on the situation. The support legs allow it to be used at 0 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees.

Large-capacity, powerful power supply
To run a modular system stably, you simply need a large-capacity power supply. The Mantis power supply boasts more than enough current supply to run a 208HP system. +12V can supply 1A for each of the three areas divided on the bus board, for a total of 3A. Say goodbye to the tedious task of calculating the current consumption of your modules.

All Black
The black Mantis has a bold black body and support legs. It matches perfectly with the black panel of the Tiptop audio module.
