Arturia RackBrute 6U 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.

A design that’s both beautiful and rugged.
To say the least, the RackBrute 6U makes quite an impression with its two 88HP tiers. It plunges you right into the world of modular synthesis, and with its 176 HP, you can start building your module setup. Designed with an aluminum chassis held in place by wooden side panels, the enclosure is rigid and ensures your modules are well-protected.

An exemplary finish.
Take a closer look at a RackBrute and you’ll notice its exemplary finish. The HP rail is extremely sturdy, while the circuit board located at the back of the aluminum chassis is perfectly silk-screened and features high-quality connectors. The side safety brackets are fitted with a rubber strip that prevents them from scratching the wood of the MiniBrute 2 on which they rest.

A power supply beyond reproach.
To prevent damage to your modules, Arturia has prioritized the quality of its power supply module, which delivers up to 1600 mA at +12 V or -12 V and 900 mA at +5 V—ensuring that 5 V and 12 V modules can operate side by side without any issues. In addition, the power connectors are clearly labeled and feature polarizing pins to prevent any connection errors.

Link System: a stroke of genius.
Even without the Link System, the RackBrute had everything it needed to win you over. But Arturia set out to solve a problem that had never been addressed before: how can I easily and safely transport my modular system while keeping it wired? The Link System allows you to attach the Y-shaped rod included with the RackBrute so that the units can be safely supported at various angles.

Transport is finally simple!
In addition, the rear mounting foot is covered with foam and doubles as a carrying handle. When the RackBrute is attached to a MiniBrute 2, a MiniBrute 2S, or another 6U RackBrute, the articulation of the Y-shaped rods ensures there’s enough space so that the cables can remain connected even when folded. All you have to do is grab the handle to move your entire system, cables and all. Gone are the days of spending two hours repatching your system before playing. Now you just set it down, unfold it, turn it on, and… play!
