Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A3X-MC is a 3-space McIntosh custom rack shelf with a black brushed and anodized faceplate, cut to order for the specific McIntosh component it will carry. It installs in any standard EIA 19-inch rack or enclosure and requires no modification to the equipment itself. The 17.5-inch shelf depth suits full-size McIntosh preamplifiers, processors, and source components with mid-depth chassis.

Product Description

Most McIntosh components ship without rack ears, which leaves integrators choosing between open shelving and a proper rackmount solution. The RSH4A3X-MC takes the second path: the unit rests on a supporting shelf while a custom-cut anodized face plate surrounds its front panel, closing off the rack opening for a finished appearance.

This version occupies three rack spaces (3RU, 5.25 inches of panel height) and provides 17.5 inches of usable depth. Within the RSH4A McIntosh series, that places it between the 15.5-inch RSH4A3R-MC and the 20.5-inch four-space RSH4A4XX-MC, making it the right pick when a component is too deep for the shorter shelves but does not need the extra-deep platform. Confirm your component’s chassis depth before ordering and specify the McIntosh model so the faceplate cutout matches.

The black brushed anodized finish holds up to handling during installation and blends with rackrail, blank panels, and the rest of a Middle Atlantic rack build. Because the faceplate closes the gap around the component, the rack face stays consistent from top to bottom, a practical detail in client-facing equipment closets and listening rooms.
