Arturia RACKBRUTE 3U Black

The synthesizers that propelled the Arturia brand into the pantheon of historic synthesizer brands. Whether it’s the MiniBrute, which was an unprecedented bestseller; the MiniBrute 2, which schools and young musicians are snapping up; the MatrixBrute, which is everywhere today; or now the PolyBrute, voted Synth of the Year: with the Brute series, you’re experiencing Analog Synthesis with a capital A.

Because a modular synthesizer has every right to be beautiful,
you only need to lay eyes on the RackBrute to understand. Often, musicians designing their modular setups pay special attention to the aesthetics of the modules, but forget the most important element: the rack cabinet that will house them! With this in mind, Arturia set out to create racks that are sturdy enough for live performances, equipped with a reliable power supply, and… beautiful. What’s more, its rigid aluminum chassis mounted on wooden side panels provides secure protection for your modules. The speaker rail, integrated into a rigid rod, ensures you can modify your setup as you please without strain and without the risk of bending.

A Reliable Power Supply
This is a factor that should really guide your choice: a flawless power supply that doesn’t under-power any of the connectors. That’s why Arturia has designed it with care so you can connect your modules without worry, as it delivers up to 1,600 mA at +12 V or -12 V and 900 mA at 5 V. Additionally, to prevent any mistakes, the connectors are clearly labeled and feature polarizing pins.

Link System Compatible
A modular system requires a keyboard to trigger it or a sequencer. That’s why Arturia invented this ingenious mounting system that allows you to link the RackBrute with another RackBrute, a MiniBrute 2, or even a MiniBrute 2S. Once connected, the Link System allows you to tilt the instruments so that they fold face-to-face. In this configuration, the stand doubles as a carrying handle.

No more unplugging!
Another stroke of genius from Arturia: you can transport the RackBrute without having to unplug dozens of cables before folding it. In fact, the side brackets and the geometry of the RackBrute’s Y-shaped mounting ensure there’s enough space for the cables to remain securely connected during transport. A real time-saver when you arrive at your performance venue: open the RackBrute, turn it on, and… play!
