The Shared System Plus is housed in a portable case made out of steel. It features rubber feet, a carrying handle and a lid. The instrument can be transported with patch cables plugged into the modules.
The Shared System Plus meets airline requirements for carry-on baggage. It offers 208HP of space. 196 HP are occupied by modules. The rest is covered by blind panels, meaning the instrument is expandable.

Differences between the Shared System and the Shared System Plus:
The most important difference between both modular systems is the Tempi module, which is only included with the Shared System Plus. Furthermore, the cases differ as well. Both have advantages and disadvantages:
Shared System: Wooden case with scratch resistant coating – Extremely rugged, but a little heavier than the Plus case.
Shared System Plus: Steel case – A featherweight, but more prone to scratches.
