Roland Now Making Eurorack Cases & 5 New 500-Series Modules

Los Angeles, CA, November 19, 2015 — Roland is pleased to introduce the SYR-E84 Eurorack Case, a rugged travel case and high-current power supply for modular synths and effects. The SYR-E84 fits the SYSTEM-500 series, SYSTEM-1m, BITRAZER, DEMORA, and other products in the AIRA Modular series, as well as standard Eurorack modules from other manufacturers. 

From studio to stage, Eurorack-based modular synthesis has exploded in popularity around the world. As Roland’s first Eurorack case, the SYR-E84 delivers class-leading performance with a durable, lightweight design and a super-clean integrated power supply with high capacity for today’s power-hungry modules. 

With its 84HP black aluminum enclosure and wood side panels, the SYR-E84 offers top-level looks and rugged reliability for all modular synth users. The 2000 mA DC supply provides stable, low-noise power that meets Roland’s discriminating quality standards, ensuring reliable operation in every playing situation. 

The versatile SYR-E84 can be used in flat, angled or vertical positions, and it’s possible to latch the case cover to the back for extra stability when needed. In addition, the stackable design and included screws allow two SYR-E84 cases to be joined together, making it easy for the user to expand their setup over time.
