Middle Atlantic ERK-4425-AV – 44SP 25"D Configured AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic ERK-4425-AV is a 44-space, 25-inch-deep pre-configured AV rack from the ERK series, designed for commercial AV system integration projects where equipment depth is shallow and a ready-to-deploy configured rack reduces field buildout time. This configured AV rack is purpose-built for AV integrators specifying shallow-depth rack solutions in commercial, corporate, and hospitality environments where signal processing, control, and distribution equipment fits within a 25-inch mounting depth. The ERK-4425-AV pre-configured rack provides a complete, organized rack solution without the individual accessory sourcing required for a base rack buildout.

Product Description

The ERK-4425-AV delivers 44 rack spaces in a 25-inch depth chassis that is factory-configured with AV system accessories, making it suitable for environments where equipment profiles are shallower than the 32-inch or 42-inch depth requirements of deeper rack models. The 25-inch mounting depth accommodates control processors, streaming devices, AV receivers, DSPs, wireless access point management systems, and other AV distribution equipment that does not require extended mounting depth. The ERK series pre-configured design includes accessories selected and positioned for efficient AV system deployment, reducing the time an integrator would otherwise spend ordering and installing individual rack accessories. Heavy-gauge steel construction maintains structural integrity across a full 44-space load. Standard EIA 19-inch mounting rails provide universal equipment compatibility. The 44-space height allows for complete AV system installations including all signal processing, distribution, control, and power management components in a single chassis. This rack is well-suited to corporate conference rooms, boardrooms, hotel meeting spaces, and retail AV control rooms where equipment depth constraints prevent the use of deeper-format rack systems.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pre-configured mean for the ERK-4425-AV?

Pre-configured means the rack ships with AV-specific accessories already installed at the factory, including cable management and power provisions, rather than requiring integrators to source and install these components on-site.

What equipment depth does 25 inches accommodate?

The 25-inch mounting depth accommodates control processors, DSPs, streaming devices, AV receivers, and most AV distribution equipment. Equipment exceeding approximately 22 inches of chassis depth should be measured before specifying this rack.

How does the ERK-4425-AV compare to the MRK-4442PRO?

The ERK-4425-AV is a shallower 25-inch depth rack suited for shallow AV equipment. The MRK-4442PRO provides 42-inch depth for installations with deeper equipment requirements. Both include pre-installed accessories.

Is this rack suitable for corporate conference room installations?

Yes. The ERK-4425-AV is commonly deployed in corporate conference rooms, boardrooms, and meeting spaces where shallow AV equipment including control processors, DSPs, and streaming devices are used.

Can the pre-configured accessories be repositioned?

Yes. The pre-installed cable management and power accessories are standard rackmount components and can be repositioned within the rack to accommodate specific equipment layouts.

Where can I purchase the ERK-4425-AV?

The ERK-4425-AV is available from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.

Does the 44-space height provide enough room for a complete AV system?

Yes. 44 spaces accommodates a full commercial AV signal chain including control, processing, distribution, amplification, and power management in a single rack chassis.
