Rackmount, Expand, and Protect Your Mac Studio
The Apple Mac Studio packs incredible processing power into a compact design, but its form factor isn't built for standard 19-inch equipment racks, and it lacks the internal PCIe expansion needed for professional audio and video workflows. The Sonnet xMac Studio 3U Rackmount Enclosure is the definitive solution, masterfully integrating your computer into a rugged, road-ready steel chassis that unlocks its full potential in any professional environment.
This enclosure serves as the perfect foundation for your ideal rack setup. It securely holds your Mac Studio while providing an dedicated, adjacent space designed to accommodate a Sonnet Echo I or Echo III PCIe Expansion Module (sold separately). This modular approach allows you to add specialized audio I/O, video capture, 10Gb Ethernet, or high-speed storage cards exactly when you need them, creating a powerful, all-in-one rackmount solution. Whether you're building a new system or integrating an existing Echo module, the xMac Studio provides a streamlined, future-proof path for your workflow.
Engineered for maximum convenience, the xMac Studio brings critical controls and connectivity to the forefront. A front panel power button lets you turn your Mac Studio on and off without reaching behind the rack, while a built-in 4-port USB-A hub provides easy access for flash drives, controllers, and other peripherals. You retain full access to the Mac Studio’s front-facing ports and SD card reader. The thoughtful, open-top design ensures that WiFi and Bluetooth signals remain strong and clear, guaranteeing flawless performance from your wireless devices. Transform your Mac Studio from a powerful desktop computer into a fully integrated and protected professional rackmount workstation.

Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
