The SO560 audio PC is our entry level all-rounder where we distil what makes our workstations great into a good value package. A perfect machine for those starting out with their first steps into the world of audio production, it's also fairly fitting for tracking and recording smaller solo projects. Audio production requires a reasonable minimum specification to allow your sequencer and plugs to run smoothly, and whilst we've set out here to reduce the cost we've also kept those performance needs in mind and aimed to simply offer the best value we can, whilst still striving to build a system fitting of a wide range of uses. The be quiet! case features included sound dampening and their low noise pure wings fan which we configure to run at their quietest. With support for 2 super quick M.2. drives & 6 further SATA drives the systeme offers you the support you'll need for your storage options now and in the future. The motherboard can support 2 video outputs with physical connections for HDMI and Display Port, ensuring that you can hook up a wide range of monitors. On-board networking options include both a Gigabit ethernet network port as default along with an Intel Wi-Fi solution. All this means that there are plenty of upgrade possibilities here, giving you a system that can grow with you as your needs develop and support your production requirements for years to come.

  • Includes technical support 7 days a week, from 9am to 10pm Monday to Friday and from 10am to 6pm on Saturdays and on from 10am to 4pm on Sundays.
