Middle Atlantic 24 Space Sound Reducing Rack, HM

Designed for professional studios, control rooms, and broadcast environments, the Middle Atlantic 24 Space Sound Reducing Rack, HM delivers a smart blend of capacity, durability, and quiet operation. This 24U rack cabinet optimizes space with a compact 28" height, making it an ideal choice for rooms where floor space is at a premium but reliability is non negotiable. The honey maple finish adds a refined, contemporary look that fits seamlessly into modern studios, home theaters, and technical rooms. Built with Plexiglas panels and a wood rack cabinet, the HM model provides clear visibility of gear, easy access for maintenance, and a robust mounting platform for rack-mounted equipment. In environments where noise can interfere with critical listening or recording quality, this sound reducing rack helps minimize sound transmission from mounted gear while preserving accessibility, cable management, and airflow. Whether you’re housing power distributors, patch panels, network switches, AV processors, or studio processors, the HM rack is engineered to keep your gear organized, secure, and ready for operation.

  • Optimized 24U capacity in a compact 28" tall footprint: The HM model maximizes rack space without expanding the cabinet footprint. This makes it easier to place in control rooms, closets, or equipment rooms where vertical space is abundant but floor space is at a premium. With 24U of mounting space, you can organize multiple pieces of 19" rack equipment—such as audio interfaces, preamps, patch bays, and network gear—while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. The design supports flexible deployment strategies, allowing you to layer gear vertically and access it from the front and rear for maintenance or reconfiguration. This thoughtful balance between capacity and size helps you future-proof your setup, enabling growth without needing a larger cabinet or a second rack.
  • Sound reducing performance for quiet, distraction-free workflows: The defining feature of the HM rack is its sound-dampening capability, which helps minimize the transfer of vibration and audible noise from mounted equipment into the surrounding environment. This is particularly beneficial in recording studios, broadcasting suites, and control rooms where ambient noise can interfere with critical monitoring and listening sessions. By reducing resonances and echo paths, the sound reducing design helps ensure a more accurate reference for engineers and technicians, enabling clearer monitoring, more precise mixing, and less auditory fatigue during long sessions.
  • Elegant honey maple finish with Plexiglas panels and a wood cabinet: Aesthetics matter in professional spaces, and this rack delivers with a warm honey maple color that complements other studio furniture and equipment. Plexiglas panels provide clear visibility of installed gear, making it easy to identify modules at a glance, while the wood rack cabinet adds a sturdy, durable frame. This combination of materials balances form and function: accessible front and rear panels for serviceability, protective enclosure for gear, and a visually appealing cabinet that blends with contemporary studio interiors. The finish and construction also contribute to a sense of professionalism that clients and collaborators associate with high-quality, purpose-built equipment rooms.
  • Versatile for a wide range of professional gear and clear cable management: The HM rack accommodates a broad spectrum of 19" equipment commonly used in studios, post production, and AV installations. Its design supports clean cable routing with accessible rear access, which facilitates efficient patching, labeling, and ongoing reconfiguration. The combination of sturdy construction and thoughtful interior layout helps prevent gear movement during transport or routine adjustments, protecting expensive equipment from micro-movements and vibration. Whether you’re organizing power supplies, audio processors, network switches, or patch bays, this rack provides a reliable home for your critical assets with room to spare for future expansion.
  • Professional-grade reliability for demanding environments: Middle Atlantic is known for durable, purpose-built rack solutions designed to withstand the rigors of busy studios, live venues, and control rooms. The 24 Space HM rack is engineered to deliver dependable performance under ongoing use, with sturdy mounting rails, robust door hardware, and a frame designed to resist deformation over time. The combination of sound reduction, secure enclosure, and easy serviceability makes this rack a practical long-term investment for organizations that require equipment to perform consistently under professional workloads. The HM model supports stable mounting, predictable thermal performance, and straightforward maintenance, ensuring it remains a dependable backbone for your audio-visual and networking infrastructure.

How to install Middle Atlantic 24 Space Sound Reducing Rack, HM

  • Plan the installation space: Before unboxing, measure the room to ensure adequate ventilation and access for front and rear ports. Confirm that the space can accommodate a 28" tall rack with enough clearance for doors, cable management, and service access. Consider the location of power sources, network lines, and audio interfaces to minimize cable length and maximize airflow. A well-planned footprint reduces rearrangements later and helps you maintain an orderly equipment environment from day one.
  • Unpack and inspect components: After removing packaging, check the cabinet for any shipping damage and verify that all mounting hardware and panels are present. If you notice any issues, contact the vendor before proceeding to avoid mounting problems later. Handling the rack with care prevents dents or misalignment that could complicate installation or future maintenance.
  • Install mounting rails and hardware: Attach the rack rails per the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring they are level and square. Use appropriate screws for your wall or floor mounting scenario, and tighten hardware securely to avoid any wobble. Confirm that the rails are aligned to support 19" equipment with standard rack spacing. For best results, install the heaviest equipment toward the bottom to lower the center of gravity and improve stability.
  • Mount equipment and organize cables: Begin with essential power and data distribution devices, then add audio processors and interfaces. Use cable management accessories and labels to keep runs tidy, reduce clutter, and simplify future upgrades. Leave strategic gaps for airflow and access to rear ports. Recheck weight distribution after mounting each piece to ensure the cabinet remains level and safe to operate.
  • Attach panels and finalize configuration: If Plexiglas panels or doors are included, install them according to the provided guidance, ensuring hinges are aligned and doors close securely. Route power cords and network cables behind the panels to reduce visible clutter and improve safety. Perform a final check of all connections, test each device, and verify that the system operates without excessive heat, noise, or interference. Properly labeling and documenting the configuration helps with ongoing maintenance and future upgrades.
  • Test, monitor, and maintain: After installation, run a thorough system test to confirm that all devices mount correctly and operate as expected. Monitor ambient temperature and ensure adequate cooling within the cabinet. Periodically inspect mounting hardware and cabling for signs of wear, and re-tighten screws if needed. A routine check helps preserve performance, extend equipment life, and keep your workspace looking professional.
