One cable, full bandwidth, complete setup under control
The dock works with Thunderbolt 5 and therefore provides the necessary bandwidth for modern workflows with high data rates. A single cable connects your entire setup to your computer and simultaneously charges your laptop with up to 140 watts.
Connection diversity like a desktop patchbay
The Echo 20 is not a reduced travel dock, but clearly intended for fixed setups. You get a wide selection of connections that really make sense in everyday life.
Three Thunderbolt 5 ports for peripherals and monitors
Four USB-A ports with 10 Gbit/s
Five USB-C ports with up to 10 Gbit/s, including one front port with 15 watts charging power
UHS-II SD and microSD card reader
3.5 mm headphone jack and separate microphone input
stereo Line-out via RCA
HDMI and Displayport
RJ45 Ethernet port
Especially in a studio context, you can also use the dock as a central distribution station for audio, for example for active monitors or a simple recording setup.
Display setups without fiddling
The dock provides HDMI and DisplayPort directly and also expands your setup via Thunderbolt.
HDMI 2.1 supports up to 8K at 60 Hz under Windows
Under macOS, the limit is 4K 60 Hz
DisplayPort delivers up to 4K at 144 Hz
Fast network for large projects
With integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet , the dock is also interesting for data-intensive setups. Large sample libraries, video assets or backups to NAS run much more smoothly.
10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G and 100 Mbit are supported, depending on the infrastructure. This means you are also on the safe side for future upgrades.
Performance for complex setups
All USB ports operate at up to 10 Gbit/s and offer enough reserves for fast SSDs, audio interfaces or controllers. Additional devices can be connected via Thunderbolt using a daisy chain so that your setup can grow in versatility without you having to constantly rewire.

Sophisticated details for everyday use
A small but extremely practical feature is the ThunderLok lock. This secures the Thunderbolt cable to the dock and prevents it from being accidentally pulled out. A real advantage, especially for mobile rigs or hectic sessions. There is also a Kensington slot to physically secure the dock.
The device also switches on and off automatically with your computer. So you don't have to worry about power management.
Compatible with modern systems
The dock is designed for current platforms and works with macOS, Windows, iPad Pro and also compatibleChromebooks. Mac, iPad and many other systems recognize the dock directly without additional installation. A driver is required for Windows, which can be set up quickly.
