Combining 5U MOTM and Synthesizers.com modules in the same cabinet: Difference between revisions

[[File:dotcomlip.jpg|thumb|right|250px|middle|The Synthesizers.com format module has side flanges and flanges at the top and bottom.]]The width of 5U modules varies. Some manufacturers use the width of the original Moog modules (1U = 2.125"), and as such, these fall into a sub-format called [[MU]] (for Moog Unit). MU module manufacturers include [[Synthesizers.com]], [[Club Of The Knobs]], [[Krisp1 Modular Construction|Krisp1]], [[Mos-lab]], [[Moon Modular ]], [[STG Sound Lab]], and [[ModuSonics]]. Other 5U manufacturers, like [[Synthesis Technology]], [[Oakley Sound Systems]] and [[Modcan B-series]], use the slightly narrower width of 1.75". Thus, MU and 5U modules cannot be mounted in the same row in racks that use metal pre-tapped holes.<ref name="mw6598">Muff's Modules & More:[http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6598 motm/modcan b series in a dotcom cabinet]</ref>
