New Monoblock chassis (sets!!!) from Modushop

[sp33ls]

Noob question here regarding mounting PCBs...

For standoffs with the base plate, it looks like M3 standoffs cold work, but the holes may allow for M4, is that right?

And mounting the amplifier PCBs to the side plates with the UMS system --- is UMS M3?

Just want to make sure I have all the right sizes when placing my parts order!

In the inner baseplate all the holes have a diameter of 4mm and are on a 10x10 pattern.

Yes, all the holes in the UMS heatsinks are M3

Awesome product!
Does anyone have a CAD file (1 RCA, 1 Power socket & 2 binding posts like for DIYaudio products) that fits this chassis?
@Gianluca, which inner baseplate is compatible with it?
Thanks.

I'm in the same boat, ready to order a pair of Monoblocks but desire a slightly different set of cutouts on the backpanel:
2 input whole (1 to be used for XLR, the other for RCA),
4 Binding posts (for ease of bi-wiring)
1 Power socket

When you think about it, it's basically the same set of wholes on a stereo backpanel for the 4U Deluxe, but sized for the Monoblock.

I don't have the CAD skills (at all) for laying that out on the baseline .dxf Gianluca provided above.

Assist?

No worries, I got your back. We've already drilled a couple of MonoBlock rear panels with the "Deluxe" layout so it's not a problem to do more

You simply need to add 1x CNC work on a 2/3/4mm panel (up to 20 holes) for every panel we have to drill and write in the notes it's for this special panel

Many thanks!

I ended up placing my order for a pair with ums through the diyaudio store page. It looks like the page is now down and I forgot to note the estimated ETA for these. Do we have an idea when they might be shipping?

 

[Gianluca]

That's odd, I'll tell Jason about this so maybe he can get the page back up. Anyway we should start shipping these around the end of next week/beginning of the one after

Received my pair of monoblock chassis* yesterday, safe, sound and quick, and with the special back panel cuts I wanted. Thanks for the attention to detail, Modushop!

*is chassis the plural of chassis?

 

[Gianluca]

Glad to hear that This week we should ship the ones which have not been shipped yet

proud to point, first SissySIT in new chassis, by @sp33ls

I made the newbie mistake of not running my mains under under the floor panel, so I'll share some better pr0n once I fix the cable management.

It's a tight fit, but definitely doable. Makes this deceptively cute on the outside, but the SissySIT is only Sissy in name.

Great build! I was actually expecting the model with only 2 heatsinks per side to be more popular but it seems like the one with 4 heatsinks got the better of it

All these class A amps need the sinks!
