Middle Atlantic MDV-R12 12-space Side Car Rack Enclosure

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC MDV-R12 is a 12-space side car rack enclosure designed to expand the mounting capacity of MDV Series desk systems. This accessory attaches to an existing MDV Series desk frame, providing 12 rack units of additional space for housing audio-video equipment, signal processors, patch panels, or other rack-mount gear. It is intended for installation by AV integrators and systems installers working in control room, broadcast, or professional desktop rack environments where equipment density requires supplemental rack space alongside the primary desk structure.

The MDV-R12 is used in professional AV and systems integration applications where a standard MDV Series desk enclosure does not provide sufficient rack space for all required components. Typical installations include broadcast control desks, command and dispatch consoles, and production workstations where equipment must remain accessible and organized at the operator position. The side car configuration keeps additional rack-mount units within the same physical footprint as the primary desk without requiring a separate standalone rack.

Key Features

• 12 rack units of side-mounted expansion space for MDV Series desk systems
• Designed as a direct-attach side car accessory to existing MDV Series desk frames
• Accommodates standard rack-mount equipment in a 19-inch rack format
• Sold as a single unit, suitable for left- or right-side attachment depending on desk configuration

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified AV integrator or rack systems installer. Power down and disconnect all equipment in the existing desk frame before attaching the side car enclosure. Secure all mounting hardware fully before loading rack-mount equipment into the new space. Follow the manufacturer installation guide for proper alignment with the MDV Series desk frame structure.
