• Rugged, professional-grade enclosure: The Rocpro D90 is encased in a sturdy aluminum housing that helps dissipate heat during sustained workloads and provides protection against the rigors of daily use on a busy desk, in a studio, or on set. The aluminum gray finish not only looks premium but also stays cool under load, contributing to consistent performance over long sessions.
