Arturia RackBrute 6U Reviews

The only case for my Minibrute 2

This case was perfect for my Minibrute 2. My only gripe is that since I have a few power hungry modules, its capacity can easily maxed out. I added a mZeus PSU for my power hungry stuff.

Brilliant rack!

This is a brilliant rack, it's really well designed, got lots of power and sockets, and has a gorgeous finish. Just got a second one, and they can mount together.

Good eurorack case - very good value for money

I now have 4 of these cases. Like them quite a bit. They look nice, are made out of good quality materials (box itself is made of aluminium, side panels of wood, stand/bracket is made of cast aluminium). M3 mounts is of the sliding rail type (much prefer this over the sliding nut type).

Two aspects that could be better:

#1 5HP power unit. This is an odd number and to fill up the rack row with the power - you will need module with an odd number (3 or 5 typically). Not a big deal but an "integrated" power would avoid this and give the user 5 more HP for modules.

Some have reported noise bleeding through from the PSU. I have had no such problems with any of my 4 units.

#2 The bracket/stand. It looks like it would be easy to "clamp down" the red wingnuts you see in the picture to make the stand sit at an angle. However, they have designed it so that it will not. There is no "ratcheting" mechanism or enough friction in the joint for this to happen. So, if you want it at any other angle than "mostly upright" or "flat on the table" you will need to prop it up - or risk the rack falling over!

good portable modular case

this is realy good portable rock solid , modular case. It attches perfectly to the minbrute 2s and as good as a standalone.

Power supply top, very good build quality

One of the best 3U case for the price

Still one of the best 3U case. Looks amazing in the studio, plenty of power, low noise. Love it!

Excellent and well built case

The case is very solid and has excellent construction.

A perfect solution if you want to enter the EuroRack rabbit-hole

I now have two of these and the case which makes transportation of my EuroRack a breeze. The PSU is perfectly adequate even when you fill the rack (including a reasonable amount of digital modules). Highly recommended. Would be even better if there were more possible angles, but the fixed angles work fine.

A Brute of a EuroRack Case

The Arturia RackBrute 6U case is a well designed unit with plenty of connections for all your EuroRack modules.

Good case

Well build, sturdy, good design, not noisy, low price.

Not like power supply module. You lose 5hp.

Very happy

Excellent case and power supply. Well built, good price

Great case

Wish it would be a bit bigger (104HP?) but it does the job and looks nice.

A very good case for a powerful eurorack setup

The case has an optimal size to welcome all modules you need for your live or bedroom setup.

It is very robust and visually beautiful.

Rackbrute has a very convenient mount to the Minibrute 2 and a stand that converts into a handle - suitable for studio and concerts (I will I have them again soon).

No cons to mention.

Great case if you are tight on space

I needed a vertical case like this. well made and flexible

Great for begginners.

The material is sturdy and eshteticalley nice to look at ! The feet hold a lot of moment and occupies barely any space. You have plenty of room to have other synths around and also cable space.

Granted, this is my first case but my second-hand experience with modular tells me this is a steal. The build is very solid and detailed. You can set the case up in multiple ways and combine several ones. There is some degree of portability although it's not this case strongest point. The power buss delivers enough current for a lot of modules and plenty of room to build your system.

Mind that the top half is only 85 HP and 53 mm deep. Some narrow but deep modules will not fit in there.

Not only for beginners but also not perfect

Case looks great and the idea is super.

The connection design is quite good but something not advertised is that you will be connecting and disconnecting the metal stand often if you want to change to some of the configurations - including the reclined desk setup that requires you to actually flip the case and remount all of your modules upside down..so pretty much not doable if you want to use the other standing configs.

More annoying is the power module that takes up an odd 5HP, the power module connection cable takes up a lot of space next to the module so only very shallow modules can be mounted to the right of it, moving the power module to another part of the case or row is impossible without different cables (not supplied) and the metal stand connectors have large metal nuts inside the case that protrude into even 40mm deep modules, so again, only shallow modules on the sides of that row.

price however is not astronomical and you will find some silly powermodules that cost even more, so this is a great deal in our scene currently - plus you can always modify the case!

It’s actually 178 hp

It’s correct that there are 176 hp of screw holes, but there is a gab to the edge with additional 1hp.

Anyways, perfect case, I have 2 which are connected with the link (included).

Solid, great value

Overall 5 stars for the value. My only complaint is that the power supply is listed as 5hp but the cabling that is required is bulky that it effectively takes up 9hp as most modules are too deep to install in the 4hp right next to the power supply. Still a good value for effectively 167hp.

Arturia have done a really great job in terms of design and build quality of the case. It provides a good power output for most set ups i have come across for its size.

The only nuisance i have with the case is the fact that the power module takes up 5HP, which is a waste on a smallish rack.

Other than that have really nothing bad to say about it. Quite a great piece of industrial design i would say.

Great!

really like it! light and safe :)
