The control surface built from several Grid controllers can be powered through a single USB-C cable. The controllers share power through their interface boards with spring-loaded connectors.
Materials & Construction:
- Black aluminum front panel with a metallic, rugged finish
- Metal shaft faders equipped with dust cover
- Ergonomic plastic encoders in black
- Injection moulded plastic base
- Golden spring-loaded connector pins
- Strong N52 neodymium magnets
- Silicone feet on the back for extra stability
Grid controllers are built with quality control elements. After numerous iterations the potentiometers have been carefully chosen to allow a firm grip and a stable control experience enabled by special shaft bushings.
The modules are made to withstand everyday studio use as well as the intense performances during tours. For connecting several Grids together, a flat surface or the use of our module stands is recommended.
Engineered Sustainability:
All Intech products are made to last long through their thoughtful, functional, and straightforward design. The Grid modules are easily repairable with only the use of a screwdriver and the packaging is made of recycled paper to keep things as eco-friendly as possible. Sustainable engineering is key to a liveable future.
