Eurorack

Euro is a modular synthesizer format, (sometimes called "Eurorack"). The height of Euro format synthesizer modules is 5.25", which is equal to three vertical units in a standard 19" equipment rack. (This standard height is called "3U".) Euro modules typically use 3.5mm connectors and plugs for patching. Power requirements for Euro modules are usually +/-12VDC and 5VDC.

Refer to the List of Modular Synth Equipment Manufacturers page for a list of Euro module manufacturers.
