The Echo Express SE I TB5 is the elegant solution for anyone who wants to use the computing power of modern Macs, Windows or Linux computers but is reliant on genuine PCIe expansion. You can connect a powerful PCIe card directly to your computer via Thunderbolt 5 and get back exactly the connections and functions that are missing in the compact computer housing. Ideal for studios, post-production, broadcast or demanding audio and video workflows.
Inside, a PCIe 4.0 x8 slot with up to 6000 MB per second bidirectional bandwidth. This is significantly more than Thunderbolt 3 or 4 and is immediately noticeable when cards with high data throughput are used. Video capture cards, professional audio interfaces, fast network cards or RAID controllers run noticeably smoothly and without bottlenecks.

The housing accommodates full-height PCIe cards up to a length of 7.75 inches and also offers space for cards with a daughterboard. There is also space for
Quiet counts in the studio. The Echo Express SE I TB5 is made for just that. The temperature-regulated fan control ensures efficient cooling with minimal noise development. Even under load, the system remains pleasantly unobtrusive and is perfect for recording rooms, control rooms and edit suites.
In addition to the Thunderbolt connection to the computer, a second Thunderbolt port is also available. This can be used to loop through additional Thunderbolt or USB devices or to connect a high-resolution display. Up to 15 watts of bus power are available for connected peripherals. The ThunderLok system supplied reliably secures the Thunderbolt cable against accidental disconnection, a small detail with great practical benefits.

No power switch, no thinking. The Echo Express SE I TB5 switches itself on and off automatically with the computer. This saves energy, protects the
The robust aluminium housing reliably protects the installed PCIe card and remains pleasantly compact. Despite its small footprint, the system offers full professional functionality and is also ideal for mobile rigs or changing workstations.
The Echo Express SE I TB5 supports Apple Macs with M series and Intel processors, as well as Windows and Linux computers with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4 or USB4. This keeps your setup flexible, future-proof and independent of the operating system.
