Is there A-100P9 9U Suitcase with mains inlet at the front? And how about the (normal?) version with mains inlet at the back? Is it awkawrd, if placed horizontally?

Only as a custom-made product with additional charges and ~4-6 weeks
delivery time (the pre-manufactured wire harness cannot be used in this case
and the mains inlet has to be wired manually with the power supply).

I have a A-100P6 Suitcase with mains inlet at the back. Which I use
'horizontal' in live concert situations.
I bought a mains connector that is angled (at the mains inlet of the
doepfer) and use a roll of gaffer tape under the case to slightly tilt it
upward.
This way it plays nicer and the mains connector is not in the way.
I don't see why you can't do this with the P9.
And the roll of gaffer tape I anyway always take when doing concerts.

Thank you.

Are there plans to introduce A-100P9 with built in multipliers in the empty spaces? Those empty spaces look rather large to me. Is there a technical reason for this?

We showed an A-100P6 with multiples in the empty space at the Musikmesse
2009 but the inquiries were very poor. We had this unit for more than 6
months available for sale on our website in the special list. The additional
charges were only the price of the two A-180 multiples. It took more than
half a year to sell the unit. Finally it was sold to Schneiders Buero in
Berlin if I remember correctly. But even from Schneiders Buero there were no
subsequent orders. We also discussed a combination of multiples and
attenuators (e.g. half an A-183-1 left and right of the A-180). But with
such poor inquiries it does not make sense to manufacture the A-100P6 or P9
with this option. Sorry.

Strange. Seems such a good idea even with only two A-180. I have to say, that despite often visiting Doepfer site, I never noticed the Specials section.

I may go for the A-100P9, but my ideal portable case might be something like 3 X 112HP.

I mentioned in a message dated 07/10/2008 that I have ordered a special
U-shaped metal part that could be
used instead of the wooden bar in the A-100 suitcases to install two A-180
boards. Look at the response in this group.

We showed a suitcase with this option at Musikmesse 2009 even with nearly
zero response and sold it after half a year offering in the special list!

Sorry - these are the facts and it does not make sense for us to offer this
option.
