Middle Atlantic Products DR-8 8U Desktop Rack Reviews

I bought this to go with my new Behringer 2600. With a little attention to detail I was able to mount the B2600 at exactly the right height to sit behind my original ARP Odyssey and give me easy access to all the Odyssey's jacks and ports, so that I could interface the two instruments. They fit together so well it almost looks like it was designed to work this way.

This very sturdy stand is easily assembled and in my case holds my new Behringer 2600 synth securely. However, note that it does not come with the specialized screws needed to mount the racks. Good hunting!

I needed a solution for racking my gear (a LOT of gear) atop a good, stout table. I bought 5 of these, and with plywood "sides" cut to fit, they support a table atop them with additional gear. I'm still out of space, but that's the room - and clients are impressed with the visual and functional result. On each rack, I drilled two holes in the faceplate )lowest "RU", and installed a cabinet handle, so I can pull each rack out when needed. It makes yearly cleaning and cable de-ox a simple task. Highly recommended!

Holds my stuff, moveable, rigid construction. Pieces fit together perfectly, Middle Atlantic mounting screws purchased separately fit perfectly.

This was my first rack, it does its job perfectly, its solid, it makes it easier for gear to cool down, and you can access the back of it easily. Will buy a second one.

Thanks to Spencer Pyles for handling this order perfectly. The desktop rack is sturdy and handles my gear well. It's good and solid. As I've read in other reviews. The rubber "feet" are nearly worthless, falling out of the bottom holes as I was setting the unit in place. Also the mounting holes in the bottom "support panel" were partially clogged with paint and had to be drilled out slightly so the screws could fit through. Overall though, this is an excellent product and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a sturdy device such is this. It's always a pleasure dealing with Sweetwater !!!

I purchased this rack because of it's small footprint; quite honestly I would have purchased a less expensive rack if I would have had the room for it to sit well. The only thing that I'd say negatively about this rack is the little rubber grommet feet -- they need to have a longer tail on them; whereas to help hold them in the hole in a manner that they have to be taken out, not accidently bumped, and then they fall out: other than that the rack is a good thing. Get a rock if you can; they do help....

Probably a must own for the Berhringer 2600. Pretty easy to assemble , be sure to have a wrench or socket available since a tool is not included. You'll also need a philllips screw driver to attach the bottom support plate and of course rack screws. At this price it should include more than four rack screws and have better build quality. Some of the rail corner are not as smooth as they should be, they aren't sharp but are a little rough. Minor but it would be nice if the rack could tilt back a little bit.

Overall it works with the 2600 and is worth having.

The holes are a little tight for the screws. I can't screw them in all the way and I am stripping the screw heads. I pull them out and put them back in, in case they are cross threaded. I try different screws. But no, they just don't work. Now my gear is sitting loose in my rack, and I have screw heads sticking out. I should return it but I am lazy and threw away the packing material.
