  • 12 rackspaces for organized, scalable gear deployment: This side bay rack delivers twelve standardized 19-inch rack spaces, giving you ample room to mount essential equipment such as power distribution, audio interfaces, network appliances, and signal processors. The 12-rackspace configuration simplifies rack planning, supports current gear layouts, and accommodates future upgrades without needing a full desk replacement. With a clear, uniform mounting standard, technicians can quickly assemble, reconfigure, or expand a rig while preserving an orderly, professional appearance in control rooms, studios, or IT closets.
  • Seamless MDV Series integration: Engineered to complement all MDV Series desks, this side bay aligns with the same design language, mounting standards, and workflow implications that MDV users expect. Attaching the side bay creates a cohesive workstation that stays visually consistent with your MDV setup, reducing visual clutter and ensuring that gear placement remains intuitive for operators and engineers. The result is a unified, efficient environment where gear is accessible without compromising the aesthetics of your elite workspace.
  • Mobility support with optional caster set: For studios and facilities that shift layouts or require flexible configurations, the MDV 12 Space Side Bay Rack accepts an optional caster set. This adds mobility to your equipment rack, making it easier to reconfigure spaces for different shoots, audits, or cleaning tasks. The caster option is a practical enhancement for spaces that evolve with your production schedules, enabling quick repositioning without tools or extensive downtime.
  • Durable, professional-grade construction: Built to perform in demanding environments, the MDV Series Side Bay Rack is designed to securely hold rack-mount devices while withstanding daily use in busy studios and control rooms. Its robust, purpose-built design minimizes unwanted movement and vibration, helping keep sensitive equipment stable during operation. This durability translates into reliable uptime, fewer maintenance concerns, and a long-term solution that grows with your facility’s needs.
  • Efficient cable management and access: The side bay rack is designed to support clean cable routing and organized access to rear connections. By providing twelve rack spaces in a dedicated bays layout, technicians can streamline installation, testing, and routine maintenance. A tidy cabling scheme improves airflow, reduces signal interference, and makes troubleshooting faster, enabling smoother daily operations for engineers, technicians, and production staff.
