Overview and Design

The Behringer Eurorack Go is a dedicated housing solution for modular synthesisers, catering to users who require significant horizontal space without the bulk of traditional wooden studio cabinets. The case is constructed with a focus on ergonomics, featuring a molded carry handle for transportation and an integrated fold-out stand. This stand allows the user to tilt the case for better visibility and access during patching sessions. The design prioritises 'more space, more modular' by mounting the power supply unit on the rear, ensuring the internal 280 HP is entirely dedicated to module placement.

Power Distribution

Power is a critical component of the Eurorack Go system. The internal power supply is designed to provide 1 amp of current to each of three distinct power zones. This triple-zone architecture helps manage the load of power-hungry digital modules alongside sensitive analogue components. Because the power unit is implemented on the back of the case rather than occupying front-panel HP space, users can utilise the full width of both 140 HP rows for creative modules.

Capacity and Configuration

The case is divided into two rows, each offering 140 HP of width. This total capacity of 280 HP makes it one of the larger portable options in its price bracket.

  • Upper Row: 140 HP for primary sound sources and processors.
  • Lower Row: 140 HP for sequencers, utilities, and performance controllers.
  • Total Depth: Sufficient for most standard Eurorack modules.

It is important to note that the Eurorack Go is sold as an empty chassis; it does not include any modules, which must be purchased separately.

Target Audience

This case is primarily aimed at modular enthusiasts who have outgrown small 'skiff' cases but require a solution that remains portable. Its lightweight construction and built-in handle suit performers who move their gear between studio and stage. At a price point of approximately £144, it serves as a budget-friendly entry point for users building large-scale systems that would otherwise require multiple smaller, more expensive cases.
