We say...
The eagerly-awaited update to Intellijel's Performance Case is finally here! It was already one of the best powered cases on the market and the new revision is even better, with improved power, a moveable 1U row and more I/O on the back. This is the new gold standard for a 7U 104HP case.
Manufacturer's description
Studio, cafe, stage, floor, coffee table—the 7U Performance case doesn't care where you play with it. Two 3U rows house and power all the modules you love (or one day hope to love), while the additional 1U row accommodates an extensive selection of specialized utility modules. Power, audio and MIDI/USB jacks on the back handle all the necessary inputs and outputs, ensuring all that rack space remains free for the "fun" modules. The lid has enough clearance to keep your system patched in transit, and two cases can be stacked with a set of joiners.
Second Generation
Intellijel 7U Performance Case Gen-2 is the ultimate base for a portable, performant Eurorack system. This second-generation version builds on the features that made the first generation so popular amongst professionals and hobbyists alike.
Each row of the 7U Performance Case Gen-2 is 104HP wide. There are two rows of 3U rack space, and one row of 1U rack space; the TPS135 MAX power supply has enough headers to connect 34 modules without using flying-bus cables.
- 2 x 104hp/3U rows for Eurorack Modules.
- 1 x 104hp/1U row for Intellijel 1U modules — this row can be repositioned to be the middle, top, or bottom row.
- Threaded M3 strips for mounting.
- Enough power headers for 34 modules.
Plays Nice with Others
7U Performance Case Gen-2 offers a ton of flexibility for connecting compatible modules. The eight rear TRS ¼” Neutrik jack connections provide plenty of options for connecting to mixers, FX, and other audio gear. Each jack and adjacent pairs of jacks have associated connection options for balanced mono, unbalanced stereo, or send / return configurations.
MIDI connectivity is covered as well with MIDI over USB-C, and three 5-pin jacks for MIDI In, Out, and Thru.
- 8 x 1/4″ TRS audio jacks — connect to a combination of 1U modules, such as the Stereo I/O 1U, Pedal I/O 1U, Stereo Line In 1U, Stereo Line Out 1U, XY IO 1U and Aux Mix 1U with more planned in the future.
- 3 x Full-size 5-pin DIN MIDI In, Out, Thru jacks and a USB-C MIDI port — connect to the MIDI 1U, Metropolix MIDI BackPack, or our legacy uMIDI 1U Module.
- Rocker switch and 2.5mm barrel plug for power entry.
More Power
The TPS135W MAX power supply board includes thirty-four shrouded power headers; more than enough to accommodate as many modules as can fit in the case. Improved performance also means less noise across your system.
- 34 Shrouded Eurorack power headers.
- The included Meanwell 90-watt AC/DC adapter provides 85W of power spread across 3 power rails:
- +12V output at 6A (72W max)
- -12V output at 5A (60W max)
- +5V output at 2A (10W max)
- Low ground impedance.
- Low-noise.
- High-efficiency.
Case and Frame Features
The solid aluminium frame with ergonomic handle protects your modules from bumps and scratches while you’re on the move. The included lid covers your modules, leaving plenty of room to keep your system patched and ready to go. A recessed internal locking system makes it easy to securely attach and detach the lid.
The Performance Case offers multiple ergonomic positions within your workspace. The fold-away legs let you quickly angle up your case for easier viewing, patching, and panel access on a desktop.
Alternatively, you can attach the Performance Case to a stand/arm with a VESA mount, letting you get creative with the system’s positioning.
- Custom-made plastic carrying handle with ergonomic grip.
- Anodized aluminum lid with internal latching system, deep enough to close the case with cables patched in.
- Retractable, glass-filled nylon legs that can support the case at two different angles, or lay the case flat, of course.
- Spring-loaded latching accessory slots on top and bottom of the case. The slots can be used to attach two cases using a pair of 7U Joiner Plates.
- Rails can be repositioned to place the 1U Row at the top, middle or bottom of the case.
- VESA mounting holes for attaching to industry-standard monitor arm/stands (M4 100mm x 100mm pattern).
In the Box
Everything you need — except the modules — is in the box.
- 7U Performance Case Gen-2 w/ Aluminum Lid and TPS135 Max Power Supply.
- 90W Meanwell AC/DC adapter.
- 3FT IEC power cable.
Accessorize
If you have two Performance cases — Gen-1 or Gen-2 — you can stack them together with the Joiner Plates (sold separately), for a massive 14U system. This is compatible with the original 104HP Performance Cases, too. Custom Gig Bags are also available.
Note: if you have re-positioned your 1U row to the middle or bottom position of your case, you may need longer ribbon cables to facilitate connections between 1U modules and the rear TRS or MIDI jacks, (3-pin, 6-pin, and 10-pin). Extended ribbon cable will be available soon.
- Dimensions w/ Lid: 556.5mm x 352.9mm x 146.4mm
- Dimensions w/o Lid: 556.5mm x 352.4mm x 79.6mm
- Weight: 4.74kg w/ Lid and Power Adapter
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Shipping to mainland EU typically costs between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD, Royal Mail and Parcelforce for the UK, and for international orders it's either DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or Parcelforce depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we aim to dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Since April 2020, the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer. There is absolutely nothing we can do about this, unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
