Doepfer A-100LC9 Low Cost Case 9HE incl. A-100PSU3

This basic modular case is better built and nicer looking than any of the photographs on this or Doepfer web sites would suggest. Everything is mounted securely inside and is clean as a whistle.

The only thing that could be improved is if Doepfer fitted the A-100BC bus connector cable as standard. This is the very cheap cable that chains the CV and GATE signals from one bus board to another. But plenty of people dont use the A-100 bus to transmit CV and GATE anyway, so it isnt that big a problem.

If you have ever used Doepfers DIY kit to build your own case (I have) then you will appreciate that you wont save very much over the price of Doepfers pre-built ones. This is a fine, cost-effective case with a great power supply (very important for modular synthesis!!). Highly recommended.

Very simple structure , no exterior but can customize as you wish. enough case for personal studio set up !
Shipping was quick, it took about 2 week to ggot this case in Japan from Germany. thanks!

The case is unfinished - if you're handy you can stain, paint or cover it. The PSU inside is beefy and should be capable of powering a full case of modules. It's not that pretty on its own, bit if you want a capacious case for a good price, this will fit the bill.

Doepfer's power supplies are very well regarded, and source plenty of current for almost all reasonable applications. I agree with the previous reviewer that it would be nice if the bus connectors for gate / pitch were connected, but for $2 worth of wire and crimp-on blade connectors, you can do it yourself.

Note to fellow North Americans: converting the PSU2 from 230V to 115V requires only 5 minutes with a soldering iron. If you've ever successfully soldered anything before in your life, you can handle this job. I've done it with both of my LC9 cases, since I imported both of them from Germany.
