Doepfer

Hello! I had my Blacet modules for a while in a Euro rack. With a 
little pursuasion it worked but looked like the compromise it was. 
There's a gap I coulnd't close with any panel format available. 
Eventually I ended up with a Paia Frac Rack. I never tried to mount 
D.s and B.s in the same rack but from my experience I think you must 
be very much into DIY for a quarter-professional finish. Regards, 
Ingo
