Atlas Sound AWR3W-HR – 3RU Half Rack Tilt-Out Wall Cabinet

Product Overview

The AtlasIED AWR3W-HR is a 3RU tilt-out wall cabinet designed specifically to house half-rack-width components in commercial AV installations. Built for in-wall or surface-mount deployment within standard 16-inch stud wall construction, this half-rack wall cabinet simplifies installation by eliminating the need for drywall cutting and repair. With an 18-gauge CRS welded enclosure, locking tilt-out door, and PoE-compatible design context, the AWR3W-HR is an ideal solution for secure equipment mounting in conference rooms, training rooms, and commercial multi-purpose spaces.

Product Description

The Atlas Sound AWR3W-HR half rack wall cabinet is engineered for AV integrators who need a compact, secure enclosure for half-rack-width amplifiers, DSP processors, or control equipment. The in-wall design aligns with standard 16-inch stud construction, allowing the cabinet to recess into the wall while presenting a clean face plate flush with the finished surface. The 18-gauge cold-rolled steel welded back box is equipped with eight concentric 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch conduit knockouts, providing flexible cable entry points for structured cabling and conduit systems.

The tilt-out door operates in two positions: a partial tilt-out angle for normal equipment operation, and a full 90-degree open position released by side catches for equipment installation and maintenance access. Two steel safety catch cables suspend and hold the door at 90 degrees, keeping both hands free during rack servicing. The 18-gauge CRS locking door closes flush against the rack face plate and is attached internally with two pin-style hinges to prevent tampering. The 12-gauge CRS rack mounting rails accept standard 10-32 hardware. The AWR3W-HR carries a 5-year limited warranty and is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and federally funded installations.

A: The back box includes eight concentric knockouts accepting 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch conduit, accommodating standard commercial structured cabling conduit sizes.

Q: Is the AWR3W-HR TAA compliant for government projects?

A: Yes. The AWR3W-HR is TAA compliant and suitable for government agency, GSA schedule, and federally funded AV installations.

Q: What rack hardware does the AWR3W-HR accept?

A: The 12-gauge CRS mounting rails accept standard 10-32 rack hardware, compatible with most commercial AV half-rack-width equipment.
