A-100 Suitcase Version 6U (A-100P6)

The A-100 suitcases are made of black wood with aluminium extrusions with the rail construction fixed to the other parts of the suitcase.

Note: The A-100P6 is not simply an empty wooden case that covers the standard 6HU frame but a completely independent construction that is not based on the 6U standard frame A-100G6. It is not possible to convert a A-100G6 into the suitcase version A-100P6! 

The portable 6U suitcase A-100P6 has the same usable space available as the metal basic frame A-100G6, i.e. 2 x 84 HP.

The two bus boards and the standard power supply are mounted at the rear panel. Consequently the rear panel cannot be removed.

The upper picture shows an example that includes two Theremin modules A-178 and the Analog/Trigger Sequencer A-155 (among others).

The lower picture shows an empty A-100 suitcase version 2 with built-in power supply A-100PSU2.

Even the A-100 mini system can be built into the A-100P6. In this case the lower half of the suitcase has to be filled with blind panels or modules that are not included in the mini system.

Of course the empty A-100P6 frame (just with power supply and bus boards) is available for customer specific arrangement of modules.

Measures:
outside: approx. 460 x 330 x 175 mm, without cover and rubber feet
outside: approx. 460 x 340 x 220 mm, with cover and rubber feet

Measures:
outside: approx. 550 (width) x 210 (height) x 420 (depth) mm
inside: 2 x 94 HP x 3 U (i.e. 10 HP more than the standard A-100 Base A-100PB)

usable depth for A-100 modules rear row: approx. 90 mm

Quantity of bus boards: 2

Weight (without modules): about ? kg

Maximum Output Current: +12V/2000 mA, -12V/1200mA, +5V/4000mA

Important notes:

• In the area above the keyboard no modules with more than about 40 mm total height have to be mounted (e.g. no joystick modules) 
• Even the pre-patching of the modules has to be less than 40 mm (no "stackcables" !)
• Bevore the lid is mounted to the A-100PBK one has to check carefully if there is sufficient space for they keyboard across the full width. Otherwise the lid must not be mounted as the keyboard may be damaged.
• Damages of the keyboard because of unsufficient space (e.g. because of modules or patch cables with more than 40 mm total height) are not covered by warranty.
• The lid of the A-100PBK does not fit to the A-100PB, as the A-100PBK is about 50 mm longer because of the keyboard dimensions.

A-100 Small Low Cost Case 3U / 48 HP (A-100LC1 / A-100LC1V)

Measures in mm:
outside: approx. 262 (width) x 158 (depth) x 154 (height)
inside: 1 x 48 HP (244 mm) x 3 U (one short bus board), useable depth for A-100 modules: approx. 110/45 mm (measured from inner side of the front panel until end of the pc board of the module), because of the built in power supply the depth is reduced at the right side:

Quantity of bus boards: 1 

• version 1.1 (until about September 2019): 8 nonpolarized bus connectors (unboxed pin headers), +12V/380mA, -12V/380mA
• version 1.2 (from about September 2019): 12 polarized bus connectors (boxed pin headers), +12V/380mA, -12V/380mA
• version 2 (from about spring 2021): 12 polarized bus connectors (boxed pin headers), +12V/340mA, -12V/340mA

Note for versions 1.1 and 1.2: the load regulation of the power supply used in the A-100LC1 (A-100SSB) is not as good as the load regulation of the "big" A-100 power supplies (A-100PSU2, A-100PSU3 and the power supply of DIY kit #1). That's why we recommend not to use the A-100LC1 with modules which are sensitive to supply voltage changes. In the first place VCOs are affected. If modules with changing loads (especially modules with LEDs) are installed together with VCOs pitch modulations may be the result. The A-100LC1 should be used only with modules which are immune to slight supply voltage changes (typically control modules like ADSR, LFO, random and most of the sound processing modules like VCFs or VCAs).

Note for version 2: version 2 is equipped with the same voltage regulation as the "big" A-100 power supplies. The limitations concerning the limited load regulation are no longer valid for version 2. Even modules which are sensitive to supply voltage changes (e.g. VCOs) can be powered by the A-100LC1 version 2. But the output currents are 340 mA only.

Weight: about 1.5 kg (without modules, without mains cable)

Electrical specifications:
mains voltage: 110 ... 240V~ (IEC connector at the rear panel, the mains cable is not included because of the many different versions for different countries)
output voltages/current: +12V/380mA (versions 1.1 and 1.2) or 340mA (version 2) , -12V/380mA (versions 1.1 and 1.2) or 340mA (version 2), +5V/100mA (the +5V current is taken from the +12V supply, i.e. the sum of the +12V current and the +5V current has to be less than 380/340mA)

A-100 Low Cost Case 6U / 84HP (A-100LC6 / A-100LC6V)

The case is made of raw wood without laquering. The case can be varnished by the customer in any desired color e.g. by means of a spray can.
It is also available with black coating: A-100LC6V

Measures:
outside: approx. 445 x 275 x 160 mm
inside: 2 x 84 HP x 3 U (two bus boards), useable depth for A-100 modules: approx. 80 mm in the power supply area (bottom right), resp. approx. 110 mm in the remaining area (measured from inner side of the front panel until end of the pc board of the module)

Quantity of bus boards: 2

Weight (without modules): about 4 kg

Maximum Output Current:
with built-in  A-100PSU2 (until about end of 2015): +12V/1200mA, -12V/1200mA
with built-in A-100PSU3 (since about early 2016): +12V/2000 mA, -12V/1200mA, +5V/4000mA

In the area near the power supply (bottom right) no modules should be assembled that are sensitive against transformer hum. We recommend to assemble only control voltage modules in this area (e.g. LFO, ADSR, trigger delay, clock divider/sequencer, sequencer, slew limiter, MIDI interfaces and so on) but no audio modules (VCO, VCF, VCA, VCP, frequency shifter, ring modulator, spring reverb and so on). Even modules width increased depth (e.g. A-113 or A-126) cannot be assembled in the power supply area. They have to be placed in a position outside the power supply area (e.g. in the upper row). But this applies only for a few modules. Normally it is no problem to arrange all modules by mounting modules with smaller depth in the power supply area.
