Rack PCs available despite global audio chip shortage

Update: July 10, 2021

Impulse Embedded continues to supply its VELA range of Rack PCs despite a global audio chip shortage.

This range of Industrial Rack PCs is powered by the latest market-leading Advantech components, and with up to 9th Gen boards available and more on the way, it can cater for low to high-end IPC projects requiring immediate or short-term build and despatch. Even as lead times stretch and stock levels of the audio version decline, due to the fast response of Advantech’s development team in delivering a non-audio version of its most popular motherboards to market, the VELA Racks continue to support industrial computing projects despite these ongoing global shortages.

For customers with a necessity for audio, it can install and configure audio expansion cards as part of the build process, showing supply of industrial rack PCs can remain uninterrupted, despite this shortage.
