Doepfer Low Cost Case LC1
- Order number: 170068
Compact budget case – The A-100LC1 is a smaller version of the A-100LC3 with 48 HP of space. It is made out of raw wood, which can be colored or coated individually by the owner. The built-in power supply, type A-100SSB, delivers up to 380 mA at +12 V and -12 V as well as 100 mA at +5 V.
The A-100LC1 comes equipped with one 48 HP measuring row for 3U modules. Its power supply features eight connectors for oscillators, filters and so forth. The case is connected to the grid via an IEC power socket.
Technical specifications of the A-100SSB power supply:
- Wide range mains voltage input 100-240 V AC / 50-60 Hz
- On board fuse
- Switching power supply with:
- 380 mA at +12 V
- 380 mA at -12 V
- 100 mA at +5 V
- Eight module connectors
- LEDs for +12 V, -12 V and +5 V
Please note: The +5 V current is taken from the +12 V line. Therefore, the sum of +12 V and +5 V must not exceed 380 mA.
The A-100LC1 is primarily meant for configuring experimental synthesis systems, modular filter banks and effect setups. Due to the case’s rather simple load regulation, the pitch of analog oscillators might be slightly influenced by modules featuring LEDs. If stable pitch is essential to you, we recommend a larger Doepfer case like the A-100LC3.

Doepfer-Webseite
WIth a long trajectory building synths, MIDI keyboards and designing bespoke devices for music pioneers Kraftwerk, Dieter Doepfer decided to design his own modular synthesizer in 1995 based on existing electrical and mechanical specifications of lab equipment he used during his years at university. The official presentation of the system at 1996 Frankfurt Musikmesse caught everyone by surprise and created lots of interest. After Doepfer published the specifications on his website, many instrument designers and engineers saw the potential of the new Eurorack format. Doepfer continues expanding their catalog of over 200 modules (and counting), operating from their modest offices in the outskirts of Munich.
