Middle Atlantic RSH4A6X-MC – McIntosh Custom Rack Shelf, 6 Space, 17.5"D

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic RSH4A6X-MC is a 6-space McIntosh custom rackshelf with a 17.5-inch shelf depth and a black brushed, anodized face plate. It mounts a non-rackmount McIntosh component in a standard 19-inch rack or enclosure with no modification to the unit itself. Specify this depth when the McIntosh chassis fits within 17.5 inches or when the rack itself is too shallow for the 20.5-inch RSH4A6XX-MC.

Product Description

Putting McIntosh equipment into a rack the right way means supporting the chassis from below and finishing the rack face around it, not hanging it from adapter ears it was never designed for. The Middle Atlantic RSH4A6X-MC handles both jobs. The shelf carries the component's weight inside the rack, and the custom face plate surrounds the McIntosh front panel so the 6-space opening reads as a deliberate part of the rack elevation rather than a gap with a component behind it. Middle Atlantic finishes this plate in black brushed anodized aluminum styling, the upgrade finish in the RSH line, which pairs naturally with the glass front panels and machined accents McIntosh is known for. The 17.5-inch depth matters in two common situations: credenza and millwork racks where overall enclosure depth is limited, and equipment stacks where a deeper shelf would crowd rear cabling on the components below. Within the RSH4A anodized family, the suffix designates depth, so this X model at 17.5 inches sits between the mid-depth shelves and the 20.5-inch XX version. Installation is tool-simple for the component itself: place the unit on the shelf, dress the rear connections, and secure the assembly in any standard 19-inch rack. The shelf keeps the component fully serviceable, since it can be slid out for service without disturbing the rack rails.
