Back catalogue: Studio Equipment

Notes: The 3-Tier Mantis Studio Brackets pair lets you connect three Mantis together in a robust and elegant solution. This setup is fixed and is recommended mainly for studio use. The brackets are cut precisely by laser from a sturdy metal and then coated twice for a nice smooth finish that matches the Mantis light gray color. They come with twenty screws and special washers that help hold the screw in place during assembly and keep a tiny gap between the brackets and the Mantis. Installation is fairly simple and takes about 30 minutes to complete.

Notes: With Mantis, Tiptop took their years of experience with Eurorack to create a low-cost case that makes the Eurorack modular synthesizer look, work, and feel like a professional instrument. Mantis is an instrument that is at home on stage, touring, or in the center of the studio.

Mantis has two rows of 104HP for you to rack your modules. It comes fully powered and assembled, just drop in your modules and play.

Using its sophisticated leg mechanism, you can set it to three different positions: 0, 45, and 90 degrees.

Power Power and more Power! With Mantis, say bye-bye to the tedious, never-ending calculation of current consumption for the i12V power. Mantis comes with a juicy Zeus power supply that delivers plenty of power both now and for the future.

Mantis is beautiful and the color contrast between legs and body gives it its identity. Legs are offered in 4 different colors so anyone can find the right look.

Mantis comes with real Z-Rails made according to Eurorack enclosure standards. No sliding nuts or wrong spacing! It also has keyed power connectors to help protect your modules from damage from plugging the power in in reverse.

Using the optional bracket accessory Mantis can be doubled up to 416HP! Multiply your Mantis and watch your studio setup grow...

Weighing only 3kg/6.5lb, Mantis is so light, traveling has never been so relaxed.

The Dual Mantis Studio Brackets pair lets you connect two Mantis together in a robust and elegant solution. This setup is fixed and is recommend mainly for studio use. The brackets are cut precisely by laser from a sturdy metal and then coated twice for a nice smooth finish that matches the Mantis light gray color. They come with sixteen screws and special washers that help hold the screw in place during assembly and keep a tiny gap between the brackets and the Mantis. Installation is fairly simple and takes about 30 minutes to complete.

***UPDATE - MAY 2021 ***
As of May 2021, all Mantis cases shipped have a small update to the design. The connector for SyncBus is no longer included. This connector was never used as Tiptop didn't develop the cable for it, and the connector is no longer in production by the manufacturer so it was removed. The Mantis still has the same power supply and functions as before.

Notes: Mariana Trench is an FDN card for the Z-DSP. Feedback Delay Networks (FDNs) are built around multiple delays which are connected to their inputs thanks to a feedback matrix designed for its stability and lossless properties. FDN can mimic the recursive process of sound waves bouncing back and forth in an acoustic space. They were first suggested for artificial reverberation by Michael Gerzon (1971) and later John Stautner and Miller Puckette (1982) introduced four-channel FDN reverberator with general stability conditions.

FDN can also be used as a special case of digital waveguides, they can be tuned, or also used as complex delays. The Mariana Trench Z-DSP cartridge is designed to explore these more unusual sides of the FDN algorithms. Mariana Trench Z-DSP cartridge is designed by Christophe Duquesne Anckorage - Haken Audio developement team - La Voix du Luthier.

Notes: Polytip is Tiptop Audio's new type of modular synthesiser patch cable that can pass multiple audio channels using minimal panel space. This innovative design finally adds to modular the capability to patch more than one signal at a time and unleash the full potential of polyphonic patching between modules. Polytips uses the industry standard USB Type C connector although it is not a USB cable (and USB cables do not work with Polytip). Internally multiple lines of shielded analogue audio lines pass from end to end with excellent sound quality.

Notes: Tiptop Audio's revolutionary 3.5mm Stackcable is the world's first cable that combines low-noise shielded performance with the convenience of stacking banana cables. The patented Stackcable provides signal splitting directly on the back of the plug, giving you the flexibility to distribute signals without a multiple module.

Stackcables vs Multiples:

The Stackcable opens up a whole new approach to the art of synthesizer patching. Complex signal flow is more visible and easier to follow and you'll never again have to interrupt your workflow to stop, trace back, and insert a multiple. Spend more time concentrating on music making and less time on figuring how to run multiple signal paths. In addition, when comparing multiple modules vs Stackcables, the Stackcables can come out cheaper and provide you with more mult points, whenever you need them, in any configuration, without taking up any rack space in your system.

Stackcables vs Regular Patch Cables:

When comparing the Stackcables with regular patch cables, the Stackcables always keep your jacks reusable no matter how many connections are running to or from a jack. Using standard patch cables effectively "seals up" a jack once patched in, a major limitation in the dynamic workflow of a modular synthesizer. And when it comes to carrying your audio signals, the Stackcable is superior to low-cost patch cables because they are made with heavy-gauge signal conductor and signal shielding, providing both low capacitance, low impedance, and excellent noise rejection. Additionally, by providing shielding from electrical interference, the Stackcable outperforms any other signal splitter at handling audio and control signals in a professional studio environment, keeping both your studio quiet and your modular synth signals clean.

Stackcables Unique Mechanism:

The Stackcable's elegant connectors hide a complex sub-miniature electromechanical design that tightly integrates a 3.5mm plug and a 3.5mm jack together at each end of the cable, all the while handling both ground and signal. This innovative mechanism is what makes the Stackcable a reality, yet it provides an even more compact connector than a single-conductor banana cable. So if you have never experienced stack-ability, then get ready to feel how effortless, creative, and mind- altering your patching will become with these Stackcables.

Stackcables Warranty:

As of July 2017, Stackcables are manufactured in-house under full quality control, allowing Tiptop Audio to provide customers with a 2-year warranty.

Stackcables are compatible with all audio gear that uses the 3.5mm / 1/8'' jack and plug. (Do not use Stackcables with Switchcraft Tini-Jaxr brand jacks.)

Notes: The microZEUS is a 4HP power supply module for Eurorack format synthesizers. It is the smallest and most powerful power supply available for its size.

uZEUS with flying bus boards: this version features two ribbon bus boards. All you have to do is plug in your modules and play.

The uZEUS mixes linear and switching power technology to produce 1000mA at +12V, 500mA at -12V, and 170mA at +5V and uses a standard +15VDC non-regulated wall adapter for power.

Notes: These Z-Ears are standard 3U rack ears. These parts are made of anodized aluminum and are custom made to work with Eurorack mounting rails like Z-Rails.

Notes: Z-Rails Brackets are used to attach Z-Rails to wood cases without having screws visible on the exterior for a clean, professional finish. Z-Rails Brackets have two holes for wood screws and two holes for Z-Rails screws. Z-Rails Brackets come supplied with both types of screws and no additional screws are required for assembly.
