19" rack mounting

The RMK-16 is a 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack mounting kit from RCS Audio-Systems, specifically designed for the permanent installation of the audio mixer FMX-1602. It enables standardized installation of the mixer in standard 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) racks, regardless of whether they are used in studios, mobile flight cases, or permanently installed audio enclosures. The kit ensures stable mounting of the mixer and protects it from external mechanical influences during operation. At the same time, it supports organized cable routing within the rack structure, simplifying maintenance and operation. The product is designed for professional applications in live environments, fixed installations, and mobile deployment scenarios.

Applications

The RMK-16 is designed for use in professional audio systems, particularly in studio and live technology environments as well as in fixed installations. It is suitable for both stationary and mobile applications, where the mixer is mounted and transported in a 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack. The mounting provides secure fastening of the FMX-1602, preventing vibrations, shocks, or unintended movements during operation. Use in flight cases or fixed enclosures is easily possible due to the robust construction and standardized mounting method.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The mounting kit provides front-side 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) screw mounting, securely fixing the mixer in the rack. Installation is carried out via the front mounting points of the mixer, ensuring stable and secure fastening. The kit is specifically developed for the FMX-1602 and precisely matches its dimensions. The installation height is 8 rack units (U), which corresponds to the standard height for such mixers. The construction is designed to optimally protect the mixer while enabling easy installation and removal.

Technology Explained Simply

48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack mounting is a standard in professional audio and IT technology, enabling uniform mounting of devices in enclosures and racks. The RMK-16 uses this standard to securely and stably mount the FMX-1602. The specification of 8 U (rack units) refers to vertical positioning in the rack; one U equals 1.75 inches (4.445 cm), so 8 U corresponds to a total height of approximately 35.56 cm. The front-side screw mounting ensures that the device is stable both horizontally and vertically in the rack, which is particularly important during transportation or in environments with mechanical stress.

Compatibility and Accessories

The RMK-16 is exclusively intended for the audio mixer FMX-1602. It is not compatible with other models or devices. Installation is direct to the device, without additional adapters or intermediate parts. Using the kit requires no additional accessories, as all necessary mounting components are already integrated. The system compatibility is clearly defined: the kit is part of the FMX-1602 product family and serves exclusively for rack mounting of this mixer.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out by attaching the RMK-16 to the front side of the FMX-1602, using the designated mounting points of the mixer. The device is then inserted into the 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack and secured using the integrated screw holes and rack ears. The mounting process is simple and requires no special tools or additional effort. The front-side screw mounting allows for quick and secure installation, which is also easily performed during frequent installation and removal, as in mobile deployment scenarios.

Advantages in Operation

Using the RMK-16 offers several advantages in professional operation: it ensures stable and secure mounting of the FMX-1602, extending the device’s lifespan and minimizing damage from vibrations or shocks. The standardized installation height of 8 U ensures optimal positioning in the rack, simplifying cable management and access to controls. Additionally, the kit is suitable for use in various environments, from studios to mobile live events, making it a flexible solution for different requirements. The robust construction ensures long service life and reliable operation under professional conditions.
