Tips For Selecting Your New Audio Equipment Rack
Posted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 4:02 am
First thing to think about is the type of rack that would work best for you. If you are going to store your audio video equipment in your living room, you will probably want to purchase a furniture type rack. These racks can vary from a small box with a glass door to a large entertainment center that not only holds your audio equipment but your TV and speakers as well. Often times these entertainment centers have audio equipment racks built into them that will store all of your amps, DVD players, cable boxes, etc. Many newer homes have closets that store the equipment away from the living areas. This type of application would lend itself well to a rack type system. Rack systems can be fixed, mounted to a wall, or portable to allow you to roll the rack out of the closet to gain access to the back of the components for easy wiring. Some racks mount to the wall, but then pull out and swivel so you can see all of the connections.
If your rack is more for the commercial environment, you will need something very sturdy and lockable to keep people from borrowing your gear or playing with all of the knobs thus messing up all of your settings. These commercial racks are capable of not only housing your audio gear but your video conferencing and overhead projection requirements as well. There are even some commercial racks that double as podiums.
