The Sonnet Echo 21 Thunderbolt 5 SuperDock expands modern Mac, Windows, Chromebook and iPad Pro systems with a powerful connectivity hub for professional production, creative and office workflows. Displays, storage devices, audio hardware, network connections and other peripherals are connected to the computer via a single Thunderbolt 5 cable. At the same time, the dock supplies compatible notebooks with up to 140 watts of charging power.
With three Thunderbolt 5 ports, the Echo 21 acts as the central link between your computer and studio setup. One port serves as the host connection to the computer, whilst two further Thunderbolt ports are available for additional devices. Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4, USB4 v2 and USB-C devices are supported. The two downstream ports each provide up to 15 watts of power for bus-powered peripherals and allow the connection of additional displays, storage systems or audio hardware.

A special feature of the Echo 21 Thunderbolt 5 SuperDock is the integrated M.2 NVMe slot on the underside of the chassis. An SSD with a capacity of up to 8 TB can be installed directly in the dock here. The PCIe 4.0 x2 connection enables data transfer rates of up to 3300 MB/s and provides additional storage space for sample libraries, multitrack recordings, video projects or backups, without the need to accommodate a further external enclosure on your desk.
The dock offers extensive monitor options for modern production environments. The integrated HDMI port supports resolutions up to 8K at 60 Hz on Windows, whilst the DisplayPort 2.0 output enables refresh rates up to 4K at 144 Hz. Additionally, further monitors can be connected via the Thunderbolt ports. Depending on the computer and graphics architecture, up to four displays are supported.
The Echo 21 provides a total of nine USB ports, each with speeds of up to 10 Gbps. Four USB-A ports and five USB-C ports allow you to connect audio interfaces, MIDI controllers, external SSDs, cameras, dongles and other accessories. The USB-C ports deliver up to 7.5 watts or 15 watts of charging power and support simultaneous charging and data synchronisation. Compatible devices can continue to be charged even when the computer is switched off or disconnected.
With UHS-II SD and microSD card readers, large photo, video and audio projects can be transferred quickly. For working with NAS systems or central production servers, the dock also features an integrated 10GBASE-T Ethernet port. In addition to 10 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps and Gigabit Ethernet are also supported. This makes the Echo 21 suitable for data-intensive network environments and large media archives.
In addition to the numerous data connections, the dock also offers practical audio functions for studio and multimedia applications. Features include a headset jack, a separate microphone input and stereo RCA line outputs for active speakers, amplifiers, mixers or audio interfaces. The integrated audio solution supports high-resolution playback at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz and enables direct integration into recording and monitoring setups.
The housing is made of anodised 6063 aluminium and has been designed for daily use in the studio, editing suite or office. A Kensington security slot provides theft protection in professional working environments. In addition to the dock, the package includes a 0.8-metre Thunderbolt 5 cable, the ThunderLok-A cable security system, a 240-watt power supply and the appropriate power cable.
