Middle Atlantic SRSR Series 19″ Rotating Sliding Rail System The SRSR racks are among the most popular A/V racks on the market. This is pretty much the go-to rack for most people that just want a versatile in-wall rack at a good price. Flush-mount the rack in a wall and then rackmount your equipment in black brushed and anodized RSH4A custom shelves. Add HBL blank filler panels in between equipment to keep the black brushed and anodized finish going for a slick look. It then slides out and rotates, locking in at either 60 or 90 for access to your component connections. Snap on Middle Atlantic’s TA trim strip panel over the screws, and purchase some molding from your local hardware store to get a beautiful and highly functional flush-mount rack without breaking the bank. Used for small to medium sized A/V systems. * Style: Slides out and rotates up to 90 Middle Atlantic Slim 5 Series 19″ Equipment Racks The Slim 5 series racks are another very popular choice for a well-rounded and inexpensive A/V rackmount system. These racks ship knocked down via common carrier and require minimal time to put together. The great thing about these racks, aside from the very attractive price range, is the versatility and wide variety of applications they serve. They can be used for small systems at 8U or 14U, or you can take it all the way up to 43U for a full system. It holds up to 400 lbs, so it will easily handle the majority of residential A/V systems out there. In addition to the wide range of dimensional options, it has a bunch of extras, such as steel or wood grain finished side panels, multiple front door options, or an integrated fan top. It can be placed free standing in a room, on a desk, in a closet, or flush mount it in your wall (make sure you have rear access from the room behind it). Or get a set of Slim 5 caster wheels or their skirted wheel base to make it mobile. * Style: 4-post open frame Middle Atlantic ERK 19″ Stand-Alone Rack Enclosures With ERK racks you get a lot for what you pay for. Middle Atlantic somehow manages to keep these fully welded rack enclosures affordable for most budgets despite having a super strong steel frame that can hold up to 2500 lbs, keylocked rear door, and welded side panels, as well as a host of well engineered extras. These include rear and top electrical, UHF/VHF, fan knock-out plates, bottom cable entry, grounding/bonding studs installed in the base, and side-panel knock-outs for running cables out. Just add a front door of your choice and you’ve got a full enclosure to hold just about any A/V system out there at a seriously good price. Like the Slim 5, there are many different applications that these can be used for – buy an 18U, 21U, or 27U plus a set of caster wheels and you’ve got a nice inexpensive portable studio rack. Stick it in a closet, attic, basement, or mount it on a base and flush-mount it in the wall with RSH shelves or a plexiglas door. Pre-configured kits are also available, which pack in all the extras you need for power, cable management, equipment mounting, and thermal management. New knock-down models allow for fast and inexpensive shipping with minimal set-up time. * Style: 4-post with welded sides and rear door (ask for LRD version if no rear door is required) Middle Atlantic WR Series Roll Out Rotating System in Steel Host Enclosure The award winning WR series roll out rack offers one of the most complete rackmount solutions available with an integrated slide-out and rotate rack within the host enclosure. The internal rackmount system can be pulled out and rotated, eliminating the need for extras like slide-tracks or stands. These racks are particularly useful for saving space in larger scale equipment bays. Since you have quick and easy access to the rear of your components from the front, they can be pushed up against a wall or put back to back to maximize the overall rackmount density in your equipment room. They are also gangable. Internal depth ranges from 26″ to 36″, while weight capacity is rated for 750 lbs, allowing for mounting of just about any piece of A/V equipment out there. Many effective solutions have also been built in for ventilation and cable management. One more bonus is that the internal rack system is detachable, allowing for off-site maintenance. * Style: 4-post rack mounted within a host cabinet enclosure Middle Atlantic AXS Rack System for Millwork and In-Wall Applications Middle Atlantic’s AXS rack (sounds like “access”) is the most popular solution for in-wall, closet, or millwork rackmount systems where rear access is restricted. The amount of dimensional choices and optional components is unparalled. Mount the rack in a wall cut-out or closet, and then pick between one of three service stand height ranges to allow for the rack to slide out on an optional track, giving you rear access to your components. The wide range of rackmount height options (10U to 43U), depth ranges (16, 20, or 26 in.), as well as options for cable management, stands, tracks and fan kits make it the optimal choice for someone who wants a very specific custom A/V rackmount system. If you are looking for a rack to slide out on a stand and rotate, then look up the AXS’s sister rack, the AX-SXR series. * Style: 4-post frame slides out on a track Middle Atlantic SRS Series 19″ Sliding Rack Rail System Use Middle Atlantic’s SRS sliding rackrail system to mount smaller A/V equipment into cabinets, wall cut-outs or entertainment centers.
