The only differences between the vertical and horizontal versions are the lettering of the faceplates and the orientation of the control knobs. Vertical modules are fully functional in horizontal frames as well as horizontal versions fit into vertical frames. The horizontal versions are used for the horizontal 1U high frames, while the vertical modules are designed for the 2U high, 4U high, and 6U high vertical frames. Changing the faceplates at low cost is possible if you send in the module. The pictures in the right colum show the horizontal and the vertical version of the TM133 M/S Stereo EQ.
