Middle Atlantic Accessory Rack
Introducing the Middle Atlantic Accessory Rack — a premium top-mount turret solution engineered for professional AV environments. This turret rack system is designed for modular growth, efficient cable management, and reliable, front-accessible service. Available in 4- or 9-rackspace configurations, it provides the flexibility to host a mix of equipment from compact controllers to deeper, feature-rich devices, all while fitting neatly into standard 24" bay footprints. The combination of a minimum usable depth of 8.5" and compatibility with 18" deep work surface consoles makes it a practical choice for control rooms, post-production studios, and IT-enabled AV setups where space, airflow, and accessibility matter. Whether you’re outfitting a single workstation or deploying multiple racks across a larger installation, this top-mount turret rack offers a streamlined, scalable solution that complements other Middle Atlantic products and standard 19” rack systems.
- 4- or 9-rackspace configurations give you scalable mounting options for a range of equipment sizes, from compact controllers to mid-sized devices. The turret design supports rapid reconfigurations for project-based workflows and reduces downtime during gear swaps. The modular approach minimizes the need for re-cabling when equipment is replaced or upgraded, allowing you to tailor the rack to your current gear while leaving room for future expansion.
- Minimum 8.5" usable depth ensures room for cables, power strips, and deeper devices without crowding. The extra depth also aids in proper rear cable clearance and heat dissipation, helping maintain performance under load. This generous depth preserves front-panel accessibility for quick changes, diagnostics, and routine maintenance, so gear can be serviced without major disruption.
- 18" deep work surface compatibility means the rack is optimized for consoles that extend well behind the front rail. This alignment supports clean integration with the desk or console platform, enabling tidy power distribution and cable routing under the work surface while keeping control access easy and unobstructed.
- Top-mount turret design with broad bay compatibility can be mounted into any 24" section of bays sized 24", 36", 48", or 72" — delivering flexible integration into a variety of standard rack layouts. The top-mount configuration frees valuable floor space and aligns with ergonomic workflows, making it easier for operators to reach controls and swap gear without disturbing adjacent equipment.
- Durable, scalable construction supports reliable performance in demanding environments. The turret approach enables quick installation, straightforward upgrades, and a cohesive look when paired with other Middle Atlantic 19" components. This design helps protect your investment as your system evolves and growing needs arise.

How to install Middle Atlantic Accessory Rack
To install the Top Mount Turret Rack efficiently, begin by verifying your bay dimensions and selecting the 4- or 9-rackspace option that best matches your equipment. Position the turret rack over the designated 24" section within the bay and ensure the mounting holes align precisely for a square, stable fit. Secure the rack to the bay with the appropriate fasteners, taking care to level it so that front rails sit evenly. Plan cable routing to accommodate the 8.5" usable depth and the 18" deep work surface, leaving ample space behind the front panel for clean wiring and adequate airflow. When loading equipment, start with the heaviest items toward the bottom to maintain a low center of gravity and balanced weight distribution. Connect power and data cables last, label them clearly, and test the system for fit, accessibility, and ease of service. This approach yields a neat, professional installation that remains adaptable as gear changes occur over time.
