PIPE
Couldn't load pickup availability
Now introducing PIPE in our sleek Black & Gold theme, featuring a reversible faceplate. Feel like installing your PIPE upside down? No worries – just unscrew the 8 jnuts, flip the faceplate, and put everything back together and Voila! You can now use your PIPE with the connector facing down!
With the ability to connect up to 8 inputs or outputs via an ethernet cable, the PIPE-S makes it easy to connect multiple case together or avoid any cable mess accros a case. This makes it the perfect solution for simply setting up your eurorack system in the studio or for a live gig.
But that's not all, PIPE can also be used as a multiple passive 3 section. Want to transmit precise signals like pitch CV and want to avoid crosstalk induced by passive multiples? No worries you can easily deactivate this function for each section from the connector at the back of the module.
The best part is that PIPE is completely passive which means you can place it anywhere, it doesn't draw any current from your power supply but that also makes it perhaps the simplest DIY module!
PIPE modules are sold by pair.
If you want a PIPE (3U) and a PIPE-S (1U) select the option:
"Build & Tested - 1x PIPE-S + 1x PIPE".
This option is only available for PIPE/PIPE-S built and tested.
The ethernet cable is not supplied with the modules
Regarding Ethernet cable
We recommand shielded Straight-Thru RJ45 cable.
Using un-shielded or Crossover cable won't damage your modules but you may experience noise and or mixed channels.
Due to is passive nature we also recommand to avoid long ethernet cables.

Product Safety
Product Safety
General Information:
The completed module is intended for installation in a Eurorack-compatible synthesizer system powered by ±12V and +5V.
1. Electrical Hazards:
• Ensure the power supply matches the module’s specified voltage and current ratings (refer to the product manual). Incorrect voltage can damage the module and pose a safety risk.
• Never connect or disconnect the module while the Eurorack system is powered on.
• Wrong polarity can damage your module or system. Make sure the module is connected with the correct polarity.
2. Heat Generation:
• The module may generate heat during operation. Ensure proper ventilation within your Eurorack case to prevent overheating.
3. Sharp Edges:
• The module’s faceplate and components may have sharp edges. Handle with care to avoid cuts or scratches.
4. Small Parts:
• Contains small parts that could cause a choking hazard. Keep away from children and pets.
5. Compatibility:
• This module is designed specifically for Eurorack-compatible systems. Connecting it to non-compatible systems may result in damage or malfunction.
Installation and Use
• Mount securely in a Eurorack case using compatible screws.
•Use only the included or manufacturer-recommended power cable.
•Connect only when the power is off.
• Follow the module's user guide for instructions on operation. Do not exceed the input/output limits specified.
Environmental Safety
• Dispose of the module, its components, and packaging in accordance with local electronic waste regulations.
Liability Disclaimer
• The manufacturer or distributor is not responsible for any injury, damage, or malfunction resulting from improper installation, use, or modification of this product.

Information regarding DIY Kits:
This kit is intended for adult users experienced in electronics and modular synthesis. Assembly, including soldering, is required. Proper testing and installation are essential to ensure safe and functional operation.
Assembly Requirements
• Soldering skills are required to complete the module.
• Ensure a clean, well-lit, and ventilated workspace free of flammable materials during assembly.
• Use appropriate tools and safety equipment, such as eye protection.
Testing
• Test the module thoroughly for shorts or incorrect assembly before powering it in your Eurorack system. When the unit malfunctions due to incorrect assembly, the entire Eurorack system might be damaged. It's a good idea to test it in a separate case with only that single module.
• Use a multimeter or other appropriate tools to confirm proper functionality.
Responsibility
Users are solely responsible for proper assembly and testing. Contact manufacturer support for assistance if needed.

FAQ
FAQ
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we do! We offer free shipping worldwide with no minimum purchase!
Are the power ribbon cables supplied with the module?
Power cables are included only with built modules and kits. They are not included with PCB & Panel and PCB (SMD pre-soldered) & Panel options.
Are the screws supplied with the module?
No, we don’t. There is no standard for screws—some use M2.5, others use M3, and some prefer knurlies. We have found that most of our customers do not use the supplied screws. So, in accordance with our commitments to reduce waste, we no longer provide screws with our modules. If you need advice on where to source screws, please contact us.
Are the modules easy to solder?
To help you choose projects that match your soldering skills, we’ve created a difficulty scale. You can find it under the DIY infos section on each product page. Before choosing, you can also consult the iBOM in the Files section to evaluate the difficulty yourself.
Regarding SMD soldering, the scale has 3 levels:
-
Level 1 is recommended for beginners who would like to try SMD soldering.
-
Level 2 is recommended for people who have already successfully built a few SMD modules.
-
Level 3 is recommended for people comfortable with SMD. It may contain small and/or tight components, and due to the density of components, designators may not be present on the silkscreen.
Regarding THT soldering, the scale has 3 levels:
-
Level 1 is recommended for beginners who would like to try THT soldering.
-
Level 2 is recommended for people who have already successfully built a few THT modules.
-
Level 3 is recommended for people comfortable with THT soldering. It may contain small and/or tight components, and due to the density of components, designators may not be present on the silkscreen.
