Doepfer

hi,

i am finished my first 6U case (a classical Doepfer G6 in aluminium) and would like to expande the system with a second 6U case.

since i have not enought space to put them side by side i am thinking to place the second 6U case directly over the first one (so to have a kind of 12U composed by the two 6U cases one on top of the other).

i have noticed that the Doepfer case has some hole in the upper side, maybe to avoid overheting, so in your opinion to put a case over the other may cause overheating problem to the bottom case? (the hole in the upper side would be covered by the second case)

thanks

I have had 3 cases in tower formation in the last 8 years... :)

Hello Marco,

These ventilation holes are not necessary (e.g.: the 6HE Case doesn't
have any ventilation).

Hi Florian thanks.

i know there is any fan in the case :-)
just wonder is anyway such holes on the upper part of the case have any
role in dissipating heat or can be closed without risking damages to
modules for overheating...

anyone have tried it?

Hi,
I have one rack with 4 of the G6 frames stacked on each other and a second
rack with 2 stacked on top of each other, all packed with modules often
switched on for long sound tweaking hours. Never experienced a heating
problem.
So, go right ahead and start stacking :-) and enjoy more modules.
best wishes
Jakob

Yes. I assume all A100 users with more than 6 HE do it like that - 
including me, Bakis, Hans Zimmmer, Dieter with his former exhibition system.
