Thank you for purchasing the Structure 344. Your investment in our ideas help support innovative, boutique
eurorack design.
Michael Importico and I are very proud of this design and the work our woodshop has put into creating a beautiful
eurorack enclosure. The Structure 344 represents the best of everything we have learned in the past 8 years
designing and building eurorack cases.
I would like to thank Steve Rightnour of Monorocket for helping Pittsburgh Modular get started many years ago.
Steve’s kindness with his time, innovative ideas, and never ending quest for improvement influence our work to
this day.
The Structure 344 is meant to inspire. Please use this case to build a synthesizer pushes your music forward.
Enjoy,
Richard Nicol
Founder | Product Design

Read Instructions: Please read the Structure 344 manual completely before use and retain for future reference.
• WARNING! ALWAYS TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE CASE BEFORE ADDING OR REMOVING
MODULES. Incorrectly installed modules can cause damage to the case and other modules. Double check
the orientation of the power ribbon cable before plugging in and turning on the case.
• WARNING! ALWAYS FILL UNUSED PANEL SPACE WITH BLANK PANELS. Stray patch cables touching
the power headers can cause damage to the case and modules. Always cover empty rack spaces with
blank panels. Do not attempt to repair the Structure 344. Please contact Pittsburgh Modular regarding
malfunctions of any kind.
• Only use the IEC power adapter provided by Pittsburgh Modular with the Structure 344. Using an incorrect
power adapter can cause permanent damage to the Structure 344 and any attached modules.
• The Structure 344 is an electronic device. Exposure to water will cause the Structure 344 circuitry to short
circuit and may cause permanent damage to the Structure 344 and any attached modules.
• Do not attempt to modify the Structure 344. Tampering with the circuitry may cause permanent damage to
the Structure 344 and any attached modules.
• Pittsburgh Modular is not responsible for any damage or loss to the Structure 344 or any attached modules
caused by improper use of the Structure 344.

The Structure 344 Utility Bridge is meant to integrate with attached eurorack format modules to create a
patchable, analog synthesizer. The Utility Bridge combines the functionality of 6 individual synthesizer sections.
1. Preamp
2. Mix/Mult
3. Voltage Controlled Mixer Bus A
4. Bus Outputs
5. Voltage Controlled Mixer Bus B
6. Signal Attenuators
The sections were selected to enhance the functionality of attached eurorack modules by including a deep set of
tools that will be useful in every patch. Each section will be covered in detail to fully unlock the available signal
routing potential.
All Utility Bridge sections can be used to process both audio signals and control voltages.
