Transform your Mac mini into a Workstation
The Sonnet Technologies xMac mini Server Thunderbolt 3 edition was designed to adapt the Mac mini for the needs of professional audio engineers. Since the Mac mini's compact body has no PCIe slots and cannot be securely rackmounted, its potential to be used in professional audio applications is seriously limited. This custom 1U enclosure securely mounts your Mac mini and can connect two PCIe cards to the computer through one of its Thunderbolt 3 ports. On the front panel, a USB-A port and power button allow you to control the whole server with your keyboard or other USB device. The Sales Engineers at Sweetwater wish to remind you that only a Mac mini with Thunderbolt 3 ports can work with this server.
Note: Mac mini and PCIe cards sold separately.
Dual PCIe 2.0 slots
The xMac mini Server Thunderbolt 3 Edition has integrated 150W power for high-performance PCIe cards. The server will support one full-height, full-length, single-width card and one full-height, half-length card. If you have a card that includes a daughter card, the supplied mounting bracket lets you securely mount the daughter card inside the server chassis next to the main card. This mounting solution leaves the second PCIe slot open for another card.
Included cables get you up and running
When you receive your xMac mini Server Thunderbolt 3 Edition, you'll get additional panel-mount cables. You won't have to order extra cables or go to your local store to get set up. Simply plug the HDMI, 10 gigabit ethernet, and USB-A cables into the back of your server, and you're ready to connect to all your devices. Inside the unit, you'll also get access to excellent cable management features to keep your setup clean and organized.
