My Nord Stage 3 (88) Doesn't Have Grills

[lowie]

In almost every picture of a Nord Stage 3 you can see a grill on the back of the red panel of the instrument (behind all the controls, somewhere in the middle section). Mine, however, doesn't. The back of the red panel is flush with no openings (grills). I also noticed the big white text on the back is more to the center rather then completely to the side as seen on the product images.

Is this because it's a newer model, or maybe a production mistake? Should I be concerned?

Hello lowie and a warm welcome to our forum!
It's the latest model coming w/o vents, perfect!

It seems Nord had to react to security issues: You could pour liquids through the ventilation grills directly onto the power unit. That's why they removed them.

In the original thread on this, it was stated that Clavia did this to renew electric certifications:
