Eurorack is a standard developed by Doepfer Musikelektronik in 1996. It was largely based on the "Euro card" standard, which was mostly used for professional electronic equipment. Today eurorack is the most common standard for modular synthesizers.

Vertically it occupies the same space as a 3U (3 rack units) enclosure in the 19" rack standard (the most common rack standard for most kinds of equipment). Horizontally units typically called HP (Horizontal Pitch) are used, where each HP is equivalent to "one screw hole" in the rails. 19" rack enclosures for Eurorack are available, typically containing 84HP.

Electrically, eurorack specifies that modules receive ±12V and (optionally) +5V from a common power supply in the rack. In modern modules, 5V is rarely used. Eurorack also specifies that signals are exchanged between modules via 3.5mm mono jack cables. These can be audio signals, control voltages, trigger, gate or clock signals, or sometimes video signals.

Eurorack front panels can easily be manufactured with a laser cutter or water jet, or can simply be printed circuit boardsLorem ipsum rack er gøy.
