Sovage Engineering TEINTE STEREO (4HP)
20 May 2025 Sovage Engineering
TEINTE Stereo is now 4HP! No more odd 5HP. Not sure if gaining 1HP makes you happy but TEINTE will, especially now at a lower price: €150 (excluding VAT). That said, the mono version will be discontinued and replaced by a 1U version. Did he say 1U?! Say “yeah!” if you’re into more 1U modules and tell me what you’d like and I’ll design something that actually fits our setups. https://www.sovageengineering.com/product-page/teinte-stereo
