LZX Industries, known as video synthesis specialists, started recently the development of a new product range in a new category. With VESSEL, they announced a new lightweight Eurorack case with great attention to detail. They describe it as highly functional, fun and with careful attention to the details. The case features 208HP of module mounting space with 2.5mm threaded inserts and the mounting depth ranges between a minimum of 1.25 inches and a maximum of 2.5 inches. The complete case is powered by a high-quality Malekko power system.

A really nice different designed case for the Eurorack world with on top a very cool clamp mounts.

Vessel is a 208 HP EuroRack enclosure designed to meet the demands of video synthesis modular systems or any EuroRack system requiring laboratory grade performance. We wanted to create a EuroRack case which embodied the spirit of what we do at LZX Industries: highly functional, fun, and with careful attention to the details.

Features:

208HP of module mounting space with 2.5mm threaded inserts.
Mounting depth ranges between a minimum of 1.25 inches and a maximum of 2.5 inches.
Powered by Malekko Power, utilizing Linear Technology LDOs for post-switching linear regulation with high frequency transient response, low-noise, and low ripple. +/-2 Amps per 12V and -12V power rails, allowing you to fill this case with power hungry modules with headroom to spare. DC brick included.
High quality, precision mounting hardware, jacks and switches are utilized throughout the assembly.
Side bumpers and feet are cast by hand at the LZX workshop out of industrial grade 85A polyurethane rubber. The same type of material is used to make roller skate wheels and traffic cones. Available in a wide range of colors.
Solid 1/16″ thick aluminum powder-coated boat enclosure with embedded standoffs and a wide range of mounting nuts.
Four 1/4-20 threaded inserts (two per side bumper) allow attachment to a wide range of mounting accessories from the world of DSLR rigs, camera tripods, and accessories.
Two 40mm cooling fans (intake and exhaust) with wire finger guards and a separate power switch. Fans are user serviceable and may be upgraded or replaced with standard 40mm PC case fans. The fans are powered directly from the DC brick rather than the EuroRack power rails for noise free operation.
Two RCA bulkheads on the right diagonal face allow connection to backplane RCA sync connections, so multiple cases can distribute video sync signals to each other. The bulkheads could be used for any desired signals, if video sync distribution is not needed.
Internal 12VDC 2.1mm DC jack connector allows powering peripherals inside the case from the external power brick instead of the EuroRack power rails. This power output is compatible with Liquid TV.
Two 3.5mm TRS jacks on the right diagonal face allow distribution of the EuroRack power rail’s CV/Gate buses from case to case using readily available stereo 3.5mm cables.
A full range of stands, lids, bridging pieces and travel accessories is planned.

This product includes the assembled EuroRack enclosure with side bumpers and rubber feet with Malekko Power installed ($229 value), 100x 2.5mm module mounting screws, and a Cincon TRH100A120-12E12-Level-VI 8.34A 12VDC Power Brick ($46 value.) The power brick is compatible with 90VAC-264VAC input.

The VESSEL case is available in the following colours Ivory + Black, Ivory + Red, Ivory + Green, Ivory + Blue, Ivory + Burnt Orange, Ivory + Golden Yellow.
