These 19 Inch Rack Sleeve with Front and Rear Rack Strip is a practical rack mounting solution designed for audio, lighting, AV and production equipment. Available in 4U, 6U, 8U and 10U size options, this rack sleeve provides a clean and durable way to mount standard 19 inch rack equipment for live sound, mobile AV, installation, hire stock, theatre, school, venue and event use.
This rack sleeve is ideal for users who need a compact rack enclosure without the additional bulk of a full flight case. It is suitable for mounting equipment such as speaker management systems, radio microphone receivers, wireless microphone distribution, audio processors, lighting interfaces, patch panels, media players, power distribution units, network hardware and other rack-mount AV devices. Terralec describes the product as suitable for standard 19 inch rack mount equipment, with front and rear rack strips for versatile mounting options.
A key benefit of this rack sleeve is the inclusion of rack strip at both the front and rear. This allows equipment to be mounted at the front while also giving users the option to install rear connector panels, patch points, cable management plates or support brackets. For AV installers and hire companies, this is particularly useful when building a neat rack system that needs both accessible front controls and tidy rear cabling.
The front and rear rack strip design makes the sleeve suitable for more professional rack builds than a basic front-only enclosure. Rear rack strip can support bespoke connector panels for XLR, speakON, PowerCON, etherCON, DMX, HDMI or other system connections, helping create a cleaner and more serviceable rack. It can also be used to mount blanking plates, ventilation panels or rear support hardware where required.
The rack sleeve is constructed from durable 15mm birch plywood and finished in a tough black painted finish. This provides a practical balance between strength, weight and appearance, making it suitable for regular use in mobile and fixed environments. The black finish gives the sleeve a professional look that works well in AV cupboards, control positions, temporary racks, stage areas and equipment storage spaces. Terralec lists the product with 15mm birch plywood construction, a tough hard-wearing finish and side carry handles.
Side carry handles are fitted to make the rack easier to move between locations. This is useful for mobile DJs, live sound engineers, schools, churches, AV hire companies and production teams who need to transport small rack systems between venues or rooms. Instead of carrying loose equipment separately, devices can remain mounted inside the rack sleeve, helping speed up setup and reduce the risk of damage during handling.
The 4U version is a compact option for small systems requiring only a few rack spaces. It measures 465 x 525 x 220mm and weighs 7.76kg. This size is suitable for small wireless microphone systems, compact processors, media players, interface racks or simple control setups where portability and minimal footprint are important.
The 6U version provides additional rack capacity while remaining easy to handle. It measures 465 x 525 x 310mm and weighs 9kg. This size is well suited to small PA system racks, school AV racks, wireless microphone packages, lighting control interfaces or compact installation equipment where a little more space is required for future expansion.
The 8U version gives more room for larger equipment combinations, measuring 465 x 525 x 397mm and weighing 10.2kg. It is a strong choice for users who need to combine processors, receivers, distribution hardware, patch panels and power accessories in one rack sleeve. This makes it suitable for event production, mobile AV, venues and semi-permanent installation work.
The 10U version offers the largest capacity in the range, measuring 465 x 525 x 487mm and weighing 10.1kg. It is suitable for more complete rack systems where multiple devices need to be housed together, such as audio control racks, radio microphone racks, AV distribution racks or lighting control hardware. Despite the larger capacity, it remains a manageable sleeve-style rack rather than a full touring case.
Cage nuts and screws are supplied, allowing compatible rack equipment to be installed without needing to source fixings separately. This helps make the product straightforward to deploy for new rack builds, upgrades or replacement enclosures. For installers, this reduces setup friction and supports a more efficient build process.
For AV installers, venues, schools, live sound users and hire companies, this 19 Inch Rack Sleeve is a flexible and professional solution for organising rack-mounted equipment. With 4U, 6U, 8U and 10U options, front and rear rack strip, side carry handles, supplied cage nuts and screws, 15mm birch plywood construction and a tough black painted finish, it is a practical choice for compact rack systems across audio, lighting and AV applications.
