The Sterling Modular Plan E is a 3-bay, height-adjustable, wrap-around DAW mixing console with an 8-space center rack, 52 rack spaces (top, front, and rear), and a low acoustic profile for critical listening environments.
The Sterling Modular Plan E is variation of the wraparound Plan D console with the addition of an 8-space center rack. Initially designed for mastering use, the center rack was perfect for summing mixers with fader packs, such as the AMS Neve Desktop Summing Package, or control surfaces, such as the Avid Artist Mix (using Sterling Modular’s optional Artist Series rack trays). As a result, the Plan D has become very popular for DAWs and mix engineers. Like the Plan D, the Plan E is designed with a low rear shelf for monitors, which reduces the acoustic profile of the overall console, while the bottom of the center section is open to allow for more leg room. Additionally, the console has enough space for two 21″ monitors and features the same very low profile as all consoles in Sterling Modular’s Plan series to minimize surface reflections. Between the three upper bays, lower front bays, and lower rear bays, the Sterling Modular Plan E console has a total of 56 rack spaces (32 top, 24 bottom).
