Middle Atlantic AX-SXR-22 – 22SP 20" Shallow AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AX-SXR-22 delivers 22 rack spaces in a 20-inch-deep enclosure, making it one of the larger Middle Atlantic AX-SXR shallow rack options available for installations that cannot accommodate full-depth equipment. At 22U, this shallow AV equipment rack handles complex commercial AV builds — including multi-amplifier audio systems and full-featured video distribution — within a compact rack integrator footprint. It is well suited to back-of-house AV rooms, wiring closets, and alcove equipment spaces.

Product Description

Twenty-two rack spaces within a 20" deep form factor is a significant engineering accomplishment: the AX-SXR-22 provides large-system capacity while maintaining the shallow depth profile that sets the entire AX-SXR line apart. The Side-X-Rail construction gives technicians lateral access to the 10-32 tapped rails, which is essential in installations where the rack sits in a narrow bay or alcove with restricted front-of-rack clearance. The absence of cage nuts simplifies equipment mounting — standard 10-32 screws thread directly into the rails across all 22 positions. The heavy-gauge steel frame is sized for the structural loads associated with 22U of commercial AV or IT equipment. AV integrators specifying a compact rack integrator build for a large conference facility, performing arts center, or multi-room AV system will find the AX-SXR-22 meets capacity requirements without requiring additional floor space for a deeper enclosure. The AX-SXR-22 is accessory-compatible with the full Middle Atlantic AX catalog and ships floor-standing and ready to install. Browse additional AV rack solutions at creationnetworks.net.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the AX-SXR-22 handle a multi-amplifier audio system?

Yes. Twenty-two rack spaces accommodates multiple 1U or 2U amplifiers alongside DSP, a network switch, and power management with space to spare.

What is the maximum equipment depth the AX-SXR-22 supports?

The usable depth is 20". Equipment with a chassis depth of 20" or less will fit. Always verify chassis depth against rail-to-rail usable depth before purchasing.

Is the AX-SXR-22 the largest model in the AX-SXR line?

No. The AX-SXR series extends up to 43 rack spaces. The AX-SXR-22 is one of the mid-range options in the lineup.

How does the 22U model differ from the AX-SXR-21 or AX-SXR-23?

Only the rack space count differs: 21U, 22U, or 23U. All other specifications — depth, rails, construction, and accessories — are identical.
