Middle Atlantic 3 Bay Credenza – 27in Deep

The Middle Atlantic 3 Bay Credenza is a premium, furniture-grade rack enclosure engineered for demanding AV, IT, and control-room environments. With a total capacity of 42 rack units (RU) spread across three bays, it offers ample space to organize, protect, and service essential gear while keeping a neat, professional appearance. The credenza’s dimensions strike a balance between capacity and footprint: a 31-inch overall depth provides room for larger components, cabling, and power distribution, while the frame’s 27-inch depth keeps the unit compact enough to fit into tight rooms without compromising airflow or access. A thoughtfully designed cooling solution is integrated into the chassis—a thermostatically controlled blower that moves up to 50 CFM at a quiet 32 dB—ensuring equipment stays within safe temperatures even during peak workloads. Built to accommodate global installations, the unit supports 120–240V electrical systems, making it a versatile choice for studios, post-production suites, control rooms, data centers, and professional AV installations. Beyond performance, the credenza offers aesthetic customization through the C5 Wood Kit, which transforms the frame into furniture-grade cabinetry in three unique styles. A selection of vent colors further enhances visual integration with interior design, enabling you to tailor the enclosure to match or accent the room’s decor while maintaining efficient airflow. In short, this Middle Atlantic credenza pairs robust equipment mounting with refined craftsmanship, delivering a reliable home for gear and a visually appealing centerpiece for professional environments.

• Three bays provide 42RU of equipment mounting in a single, integrated enclosure, enabling you to consolidate multiple AV, IT, and control devices without sacrificing organization or access. The layout supports efficient workflow and serviceability, helping technicians reach components quickly during maintenance or upgrades.
• Depth and footprint balance: the unit features a 31-inch overall depth to accommodate broader components and power distribution hardware, while the 27-inch frame depth preserves a compact footprint. This combination delivers generous interior space for cabling, airflow management, and modular expansion without overwhelming the room’s footprint.
• Cooling performance is embedded into the design with an integrated, thermostatically controlled blower. It delivers up to 50 CFM of airflow at a quiet 32 dB, maintaining stable temperatures across a range of equipment configurations. This cooling system supports a broad voltage window (120–240V), making the credenza suitable for diverse regional power standards.
• Aesthetics and customization: the C5 Wood Kit allows you to transform the frame into furniture-grade furniture, offering three unique styles to suit different interiors—from modern commercial spaces to traditional studio settings. This feature lets you protect and organize gear while achieving a seamless, integrated look with existing furniture finishes.
• Ventilation and finish options: the credenza offers a selection of vent colors to match your decor and optimize airflow aesthetics. By choosing vent colors that align with your room’s palette, you can create a cohesive, professional look without compromising cooling efficiency.

How to install Middle Atlantic 3 Bay Credenza

Preparing for installation begins with selecting a stable, level surface capable of supporting the weight of a full 42RU rack along with equipment, mounting hardware, and airflow components. Verify that the installation area has adequate clearance for front and rear access, including space for cable routing and ventilation paths for the integrated blower. Confirm that the electrical infrastructure meets the unit’s voltage requirements (120–240V) and that the surrounding environment can maintain appropriate ambient temperatures to maximize cooling efficiency.

Unpack and inspect all components before beginning assembly. If the credenza is being integrated into a larger system or cabinet, plan the layout to ensure easy access to each bay and convenient cable management. Position the unit in its intended location, ensuring the surface is level and capable of supporting the weight of loaded equipment. If you plan to apply the C5 Wood Kit for a furniture-style finish, review the kit instructions and prepare any required fasteners or mounting hardware before proceeding.

Mounting and equipment placement should follow standard 19-inch rack guidelines for rack rails and equipment widths. Distribute weight evenly across the three bays, and maintain clearances to promote adequate airflow around heat-generating devices. When routing cables, use tie-downs, grommets, and raceways to prevent obstruction of intake and exhaust paths for the blower. Plan for power distribution by installing a suitable PDU or organized outlets within the unit’s reach, ensuring each device has a stable connection while leaving room for future expansion.

Electrical connections should be made in accordance with local electrical codes and manufacturer guidelines. Connect the internal equipment to the power supply within the 120–240V range, and wire the integrated blower according to the provided instructions. Set the blower’s thermostatic controls to align with the room’s target temperature and preferred auto-vent behavior. After powering up, verify airflow feels consistent across all bays and confirm that no equipment obstructs ventilation paths. Finally, add the C5 Wood Kit (if desired) to achieve a furniture-grade appearance, and select vent colors that harmonize with your space. Perform a thorough inspection to ensure all components are secure, cables are neatly organized, and service access remains unobstructed for ongoing maintenance and upgrades.
