expanded and secured

A Mac Studio™ delivers phenomenal processing power, outperforming computers multiple times its size and price — it also provide a lot of ports to connect things. But how do you incorporate a Mac Studio into off-the-desk professional workflows?

Sonnet xMac Studio integrates a Mac Studio into a compact rackmount enclosure with an optional PCIe card expansion module to support diverse audio and video application needs

Pro rackmount enclosure with an open bay for an Echo III or Echo I Thunderbolt to PCIe card expansion module

Includes two adhesive-backed magnets for mounting portable SSDs

Key Features 

Connects PCIe Card Slots to Mac Studio

Use high-performance PCIe cards with the Mac Studio.

Makes Your Mac Studio Road-ready

3U rackmount enclosure with firm rubber cushions securely holds the Mac Studio and Thunderbolt expansion module in place, adding mobility to your workflow.

Ideal for Use in Server Rooms

Standard mounting holes and included adjustable rack rails enable easy installation into any standard server rack up to 24” deep.

Front to Back Airflow Management

Supports direct airflow through the enclosure, Mac Studio, and Thunderbolt expansion module to keep them operating as cool in a rack as on a desk, even when the xMac Studio is mounted between two other rack-mounted components.

Front Panel Power Switch and Integrated USB-A Ports

Front panel button enables operation of the computer’s rear-mounted power switch; integrated USB-A hub enables connection of four USB peripherals to the Mac Studio.

Easy Access

No tools required – removable front panel secured with thumbscrews allows easy installation of and access to the Mac Studio. Secured with three thumbscrews on the back, the Thunderbolt expansion module can be removed and reinstalled through the front of the enclosure without removing the front plate.

Space for Storage

Behind a covered opening beneath the computer is a space to place two Thunderbolt or USB SSDs (sold separately); two included adhesive-backed magnets secure them in place.

Open Slot and Port Access

Provides access to the computer’s SD card slot and front and back panel ports, enabling you to connect and disconnect cables easily.

Cool Design

Go with the Airflow – Supports the Mac Studio Thermal Design

xMac Studio secures your Mac Studio without trapping in recirculating hot rack air, supporting its thermal design to keep it as cool in a rack as out on a desk. Ventilation holes on the enclosure’s front panel plus an enclosed chamber beneath the Mac Studio ensures the computer’s ability to draw in cool air through its base, while a completely open back enables it to expel warm air out the back unimpeded.

Space for SSDs

Secure Two Thunderbolt or USB SSDs Under the Mac Studio

xMac Studio provides space beneath the computer to house two Thunderbolt or USB SSDs (sold separately) up to 3.2 inches wide by 0.75 inch tall. Simply remove the rear access panel, apply the supplied adhesive-backed magnet to the bottom of the SSDs, insert the SSDs and connect them to the computer, and then reinstall the panel. The space is also suitable for other thin, bus-powered devices.

Road Trip Ready

Workflows on the Go

Do you need to take your workflow on the road? The xMac Studio is a perfect travel solution. Its 16.5-inch mounting depth – plus firm rubber cushions that securely hold your Mac Studio in place during transport – make xMac Studio ideal for use in molded rack cases or most any travel rack.

Need to Connect More than Three PCIe Cards?

Connect Additional Echo Modules

Mac Studio computers are equipped with four or six Thunderbolt ports, each supported by its own bus — each port provides full PCIe bandwidth. If you need to connect more than three PCIe cards (or more than one card with high bandwidth requirements), connect an Echo III Rackmount system configured with an additional Echo III Module, or a DuoModo Dual-Module Rackmount Enclosure configured with two Echo I Modules to connect as many as nine professional PCIe cards to your computer, all in just 5U of rack space. If you need to connect even more PCIe cards (and have the rack space), add additional expansion systems.

Need to Connect PCIe Cards to Two Mac Studios?

Choose a RackMac Studio Enclosure and Connect Echo Modules

If you need to add PCIe card expansion to two Mac Studio computers, you can also choose the RackMac Studio 3U rackmount enclosure and add an Echo III Rackmount system configured with an additional Echo III Module, each connected to a Mac Studio, all in just 5U of Rack space.
