Middle Atlantic RSH4A5M-MC – McIntosh 5-Space Anodized Rackshelf, 14" Deep

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A5M-MC is the shallowest shelf in the RSH4A5 McIntosh series: a 5-space custom rackshelf with a black brushed anodized face plate and a 14-inch deep platform. It is built for the most space-constrained installations — furniture credenzas, compact wall racks, and cabinetry — where every inch of interior depth counts. The face plate is factory-cut to the McIntosh chassis, so the component mounts in a standard 19-inch rack with no modification. Specify this depth for compact McIntosh source components and tight enclosure builds.

Product Description

Furniture-grade AV installations are where rack depth gets tight. A credenza rack frame or millwork cavity frequently offers far less interior depth than a floor-standing enclosure, and standard rackmount shelves either will not fit or crowd out cable clearance entirely. The RSH4A5M-MC was specified for exactly these jobs: its 14-inch platform is the shortest in the McIntosh custom shelf line, leaving the most room behind the shelf for power, interconnects, and ventilation in shallow enclosures.

Like every shelf in the custom RSH family, it carries the McIntosh component on the platform while the anodized face plate — cut at the factory to that chassis profile — finishes the rack opening around the front panel. The brushed black anodized surface sits naturally beside McIntosh's glass front panels, giving a furniture-quality result in living spaces where the rack is visible. There is no drilling and nothing fastened to the component, which keeps a high-value McIntosh piece unmodified for service and resale. The 5-space format provides 8.75 inches of vertical opening for taller front panels, and mounting follows the EIA 19-inch standard, so the shelf installs in Middle Atlantic credenza frames, compact wall racks, and conventional equipment racks alike. Because the M-depth shelf suits shorter chassis, confirm your specific McIntosh model dimensions against this shelf before purchase — the team at Creation Networks can verify the match.
