FAQs – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

What materials do you use?

All our rack units are built using a range of wood finishes, including walnut, oak, sapele, maple and cherry. We can make all the studio racks in solid wood or veneer. Solid wood racks have a more natural finish, with a higher quality look and feel to them, but this is reflected in the price. The veneer racks are completed to the highest spec and undergo a similar process as the solid wood racks – the nature of the veneer makes it slightly easier to work with and is, therefore, less labour intense; reflecting the pricing point of the wood.

How long will delivery take?

19-inch rack-mount dimensions

A 19-inch rack mount is a recognised international standardised frame or enclosure for mounting multiple equipment modules. A ‘U’ or multiples of is the size adopted by manufacturers for outboard hardware equipment like compressors, noise gates, effects processors, cd players, amplifiers.  Each module has a front panel that is 19 inches (approx 483mm) wide, including edges or ears that protrude on each side which allows the module to be fastened to the rack frame with screws. The depth of the unit will vary. The standard size for 1u .is 19″ x 1.75″ /482.6mm x 44.4mm. If you add a door to a rack it becomes a cabinet.

The majority of equipment in a studio can be supported by the front rack strips only, very heavy items or if you intend to move racks around may require additional support, we can of course help and advise on this.
