ToolMod Pro Audio
2U high Frame

The 2U high ToolMod Frame can house up to 11 2U ToolMod Pro Audio Modules

The 2U high ToolMod frame can house mono and stereo 2U modules. The maximum capacity is 11 modules. All necessary connectors for any module version are installed. The vertical modules result in a clear layout when using many modules. In addition, modules can be installed in the way of a console channel using a stack of 2U and 4U high frames. With its compact size and low weight, the 2U high frame is well suited for many 2U modules.

Like the 1U high frame, the 2U high frame is suited for almost all applications of the ToolMod Pro Audio System; however, it is obvious that the height of 2U rack spaces makes it impossible to install 4U modules. The 4U high Frame can house both, 2U and 4U modules. The advantages of the 2U high frame are the low weight and the price that is lower than the price of two 1U high frames. Considering the additional module compartment no. 11 in the 2U high frame, the price is 20 % lower. Apart from using the gear in the studio, it is best suited for live sound. Many processing units can be installed in only a few rack spaces. The weight of an empty frame is only 6.5 kg. All module compartments can house stereo modules as well as mono modules.

Module Slots
There are 11 identical module slots in total. The 2U high ToolMod frame can only house size 2U mono and stereo modules; spacers or other subdivisions are not necessary.

Module Versions
The 2U high ToolMod frame is designed for modules with vertical faceplates. The only difference between horizontal and vertical modules is the orientation of the lettering and the control knobs. Modules with horizontal faceplates can be installed in 2U high frames and are fully functional. The lettering is simply rotated in this case. See the pictures of the horizontal and vertical of a TM112b VCA-Compressor on the right side as an example.

Connectors
The four audio connectors for each of the eleven module compartments are installed on the rear panel of the 2U high frame. The female XLR connector is usually used as audio input, while the male XLR connector is the output of most of the modules. In addition, there are two TRS jacks per module compartment. The TRS connectors are used differently, depending on the module. With 2U stereo modules, the input and output of the right stereo channel is available on the TRS connectors. The connector assignment of a particular module can be found on the module web pages. Here is the assignment of the Connectors of the Compressors TM112 as an example.

The female and the male 5-pin XLR connector for the power supply are internally connected in parallel. These connectors are identical in all ToolMod frames and the other Tool units by adt-audio. The power supply system uses the 'daisy chain' principle; power is connected from frame to frame. Information in detail on the power supply units can be found on the ToolPwr Power Supply Units web pages.
