What are Eurorack rails?
Eurorack rails are essential hardware for your DIY modular synthesizer. Their role is to give your modules surface to lie on along with giving you the option to securely fasten them in place. Therefore all rails in our store can work with both with Sliding Nuts and Threaded Inserts.
What is HP size Eurorack?
5.08mm
Eurorack modules have a size spec of “HP.” 1-HP = exactly 0.2″ or 5.08mm. So, a 21-HP module would be 4.2″ wide.
How long is an HP in Eurorack?
1/5 inch
Rails Sizes Eurorack Rails are measured by their length in HP (HP as explained in the Horizontal Pitch blog), with 1 HP being 1/5 inch or 5.08mm. The Eurorack spacing standard between 2 rails is the distance of 3U, which is the equivalent of 5.25” or 133.35mm.
How long is 3U Eurorack?
5.06inches
3U (5.06inches or 128.5mm), where height “U” is measured in rack units, rounded for a lip. [NOTE: 3U in standard rack units would be 5.25inches or 133.3mm.]
Do you need a case for Eurorack?
Cases and Power Supplies. In order to start a Eurorack system, you will need a case and a power supply for your modules. Cases are measured horizontally in HP, which stands for horizontal pitch, or hole point. The two most common widths are 84HP and 104HP.
What do you need to start a Eurorack?

What is a modular case?
Cases are stationary frames and cabinets or transportable suitcases and flightcases available in different designs and are used for mounting Eurorack modules. Usually they are equipped with a power supply and a system for the connection of the modules.
How tall are Eurorack modules?
Eurorack synthesis is a specific type of modular synthesis based on modules that all share the exact same height (128.5mm/5.06″) and varying widths that conform to units called “HP,” which stands for Horizontal Pitch (1HP is 5.08mm/0.2″).
What is the difference between MOD NX and crashguard NX?
Rhinoshield just released the Rhinoshield MOD NX, Crashguard NX and SolidSuit NX! They are basically the same case as before BUT with an updated texture and backplate design.
