The Sonnet xMac Studio / Echo II DV is a professional-grade 3U rackmount enclosure designed to integrate seamlessly with Apple's Mac Studio, providing robust PCIe expansion capabilities. This system is tailored for creative professionals who require high-performance connectivity for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video capture, audio processing, and high-speed networking.
At its core, the Echo II DV module offers two full-length, full-height, single-width PCIe slots, each connected via its own Thunderbolt interface. This dual-interface design ensures that each installed card receives dedicated bandwidth, delivering up to 2800 MB/s per slot. Such architecture is ideal for demanding workflows that utilize cards like the AJA Kona 5 or Blackmagic DeckLink 8K Pro.
The enclosure features a built-in 400W power supply with two 75W auxiliary power connectors, accommodating power-hungry, non-GPU PCIe cards. Dual temperature-controlled Noctua fans maintain optimal operating temperatures while ensuring ultra-quiet performance, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments.
Designed with user convenience in mind, the xMac Studio provides easy access to the Mac Studio's front ports, including a dedicated power button and a 4-port USB-A hub. The front panel is easily removable, allowing quick access to the Echo II DV module and installed PCIe cards without the need to disconnect the entire system.
Additionally, the enclosure includes space beneath the Mac Studio to house up to three Thunderbolt or USB SSDs, secured with adhesive-backed magnets. Its rugged steel construction and adjustable mounting rails make it suitable for both stationary and mobile rack setups, ensuring durability and flexibility in various professional environments.
