Atlas Sound 324-15 19In Wide Opening Stand-Alone Wall Cabinet with Adjustable Rails

Product Overview

The Atlas Sound 324-15 is a 24RU wall mount rack cabinet built for commercial AV installations where equipment must be secured off the floor in telecom closets, classrooms, and equipment rooms. Part of the AtlasIED 300 Series, this stand-alone wall cabinet pairs a 15-inch deep center mounting section with adjustable rack rails to accommodate amplifiers, network switches, and signal processors. Its welded 16-gauge cold-rolled steel construction makes it a dependable choice for AV integrators specifying wall mounted equipment racks for commercial deployment.

Product Description

The 324-15 wall mount equipment cabinet consists of three 16-gauge CRS sections: a 2-inch deep solid-steel front door, a 15-inch deep center section with adjustable mounting rails, and a 4.5-inch deep rear door. The adjustable front rack rails are tapped 10-32 and manufactured to standard EIA 1/2-inch spacing, and as a 24RU model it includes center section mounting rail supports for added rigidity. Internal open raceways provide cable pathways, while corner brace supports on the hinge side include 1.25-inch diameter wire access holes for harnessing excess cable.

For integrators planning rack cabinet installation in occupied spaces, the rear section includes 1/4-inch deep boss detents on 12-inch centers (six on this 24RU model), giving contractors field flexibility to install a custom plywood, aluminum, or steel sub-plate for mounting accessories inside the cabinet. Twenty conduit knockouts on the rear section simplify low-voltage and electrical rough-in, with arrays at the top and bottom of the back panel and on the top and bottom back flanges. Perforated vents on both sides of the center section provide passive heat dissipation for rack-mounted electronics. The structure uses reinforced frame flanges, plug-welded center sections, electric-welded seams and miters, and an 11-gauge center section guide plate that distributes equipment weight to the rear section and prevents sagging. The cabinet is finished in #962 black epoxy. Browse the full AtlasIED collection at Creation Networks for matching racks, amplifiers, and accessories.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Will standard 19-inch rack equipment fit in the 324-15?

Yes. The adjustable front rails are built to standard EIA 1/2-inch spacing with 10-32 tapped holes, so any standard 19-inch rack mount component up to roughly 15 inches deep fits the center section.

How does the cabinet handle heat from amplifiers and switches?

Perforated vents at the top and bottom of both center-section sides provide passive convection cooling. For dense amplifier loads, plan equipment spacing and consider vented blank panels to maintain airflow.

Can I run conduit directly into the cabinet?

Yes. The rear section includes 20 knockouts in standard 1-inch and concentric 1/2-inch / 3/4-inch sizes at the top and bottom of the back panel and flanges, supporting clean conduit terminations for commercial installations.

Can accessories be mounted inside the cabinet beyond the rack rails?

Yes. Six boss detents on the rear panel let installers add a custom plywood, aluminum, or steel sub-plate for mounting power strips, surge protection, or network hardware inside the enclosure.

What warranty applies to this cabinet?

AtlasIED covers the 324-15 with a 60-month warranty from the date of purchase. Creation Networks supports your order with pre- and post-sale assistance for commercial AV integration projects.
