Powerful Expansion for Your Mac Studio-based Setup

The Sonnet Technologies xMac Studio/Echo III integrates your Apple Mac Studio computer into a compact, 3U rackmount enclosure, along with a 3-slot Thunderbolt-to-PCIe card expansion system. The xMac Studio/Echo III accommodates three full-height, full-length PCIe cards. You also get two 40Gbps Thunderbolt ports, a hefty 400-watt power supply, and dual ultra-quiet Noctua fans. The Sonnet xMac Studio/Echo III comes with a power cable, 40Gbps Thunderbolt cable, ThunderLok 3 connector retainer clip, and two adhesive-backed magnets for mounting portable SSDs.

Provides versatile PCIe card expansion

The xMac Studio/Echo III enables you to use your Apple Mac Studio computer with a wide variety of specialty cards — a must-have for large-scale audio and video post-production facilities. This 3-slot Thunderbolt-to-PCIe card expansion system works with low-profile, half-length to full-height, and full-length cards, and supports most Thunderbolt-compatible, non-GPU PCIe cards.

PCIe cards not included.

Delivers a robust 400 watts of power

Worried that the Sonnet Technologies xMac Studio/Echo III can't handle your power-hungry PCIe cards? Never fear, this expansion system's 400-watt power supply has enough juice to power Avid Pro Tools | HDX, AJA Kona 5, Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme 12G, Blufish444's Epoch and KRONOS SDI, and other high-consumption PCIe cards. What's more, the xMac Studio/Echo III's dual temperature-controlled, variable-speed Noctua fans ensure whisper-quiet operation, rated at 17dBA.

Convenient 40Gbps Thunderbolt interface

The xMac Studio/Echo III includes two 40Gbps Thunderbolt ports that deliver 2,800 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth to your installed PCIe cards.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
