The Upgrade Kit includes a lithium iron phosphate rechargeable battery, enabling portable operation without continuous connection to external power. This makes the upgraded Push 3 more suitable for mobile music production, rehearsals, live performance, and laptop-free creative workflows.

Heatsink and Thermal Management

A dedicated heatsink is included to provide the necessary thermal management for the standalone processor system. The cooling component is designed to work as part of the complete Push 3 standalone hardware configuration.

Wi-Fi Connectivity
