With Mantis, we took our years of experience with Eurorack to create a low-cost case that makes the Eurorack modular synthesizer look, work, and feel like a professional instrument. Mantis is an instrument that is at home on stage, touring, or in the center of the studio.
Mantis
Mantis has two rows of 104HP for you to rack your modules. It comes fully powered and assembled, just drop in your modules and play.
Using its sophisticated leg mechanism, you can set it to three different positions: 0, 45, and 90 degrees.
Power Power and more Power! With Mantis, say bye-bye to the tedious, never-ending calculation of current consumption for the ±12V power. Mantis comes with a juicy Zeus power supply that delivers plenty of power both now and for the future.
Mantis deep black color gives you another option to customize your Eurorack look and matches perfectly with black Tiptop Audio modules.
Mantis is beautiful and the color contrast between legs and body gives it its identity. Legs are offered in 4 different colors so anyone can find the right look.
Mantis comes with real Z-Rails made according to Eurorack enclosure standards. No sliding nuts or wrong spacing! It also has keyed power connectors to help protect your modules from damage from plugging the power in in reverse.
Weighing only 3kg/6.5lb, Mantis is so light, traveling has never been so relaxed.
Mantis Studio Brackets
Using the optional bracket accessory Mantis can be doubled up to 624HP! Multiply your Mantis and watch your studio setup grow.
