Middle Atlantic BGR Series 19RU AV Rack without Rear Door - 27in Depth, 37in Height

Discover the pinnacle of professional AV rack design with the Middle Atlantic BGR Series 19RU AV Rack. Built to handle demanding installations in broadcasting rooms, control suites, post-production suites, and live event environments, this rack delivers superior mounting capacity, effortless accessibility, and forward-thinking versatility. The BGR Series is engineered for speed, reliability, and long-term serviceability, combining forward compatibility, Lever Lock compatibility, and a broad ecosystem of tool-free accessories. With 19 rack units of space and a deep 27-inch (686 mm) profile, this rack offers ample room for dense equipment stacks, power distribution, cabling, and cooling pathways while maintaining clean, organized, and serviceable installations. Though compact in footprint, it does not compromise performance, making it the go-to choice for professionals who demand maximum mounting capacity and streamlined workflows in both rack-on-rail and off-rail configurations.

• Forward and Lever Lock compatibility for maximum mounting capacity

  At the heart of the BGR Series is a breakthrough design that embraces forward compatibility and Lever Lock integration. This combination provides unmatched mounting capacity on and off the rails, enabling engineers to position gear exactly where it belongs—within reach, with clean cable runs and simplified service access. The forward-compatible framework means you can upgrade, reconfigure, or expand your rack configuration without replacements or complex retrofits, preserving your investment as your system evolves. Lever Lock compatibility adds a secure, tool-free locking mechanism that expedites installation and maintenance, so technicians can secure gear with a quick snap and a confident click, reducing downtime and minimizing fuss during routine swaps or field servicing.

• Generous 19RU height and 27-inch depth for high-density AV deployments

  This model provides 19 rack units of vertical space paired with a substantial 27-inch (686 mm) depth, delivering ample clearance for mounting deeper hardware, cable management, power distribution units, and cooling components. The combination supports dense equipment stacks while maintaining accessible front-of-rack and mid-rack access for servicing and patching. The deeper profile also facilitates cleaner internal cable routing, improved airflow, and more flexible placement of redundant power solutions, networking gear, and media processors. In environments where space is at a premium, the 19RU height and 27-inch depth strike a precise balance between capacity and maneuverability, ensuring you can fit complex AV ecosystems without overextending the room footprint.

• Forward-compatible design with rapid, tool-free customization

  The BGR Series is designed to adapt quickly to changing AV landscapes. Its forward-compatible architecture enables seamless integration of new module types, accessory rails, and mounting patterns without costly overhauls. This means you can configure, expand, or re-brand your rack for different productions or clients without swapping the entire enclosure. The result is a fast, scalable, and future-proof solution that keeps your technical teams productive. The inclusive approach to accessories—designed to be installed without tools—accelerates setup times, simplifies maintenance windows, and reduces the risk of human error during configuration or reconfiguration tasks. Whether you’re layering a mix of digital media players, codecs, matrix routers, or distribution amps, the forward-compatible design makes expansion straightforward and predictable.

• Suite of tool-free accessories that speed installations

  Tool-free accessories are a cornerstone of the BGR Series experience. The rack ships with a robust assortment of compatible add-ons designed to streamline installation, organization, and daily operation. Expect easy-to-install shelf options for mounting smaller devices, cable management panels to keep runs tidy, and accessory rails that enable quick reconfiguration as the AV setup evolves. With tool-free hardware, technicians can assemble, adjust, and reallocate components on-site without hunting for screwdrivers or losing precious setup time. This accelerates project delivery, reduces labor costs, and minimizes downtime during routine maintenance or emergency replacements—an advantage that translates into faster project turns and shorter service windows for demanding production environments.

• Designed to maximize productivity and reliability in live and studio environments

  Beyond raw capacity, the BGR Series emphasizes practical performance: easy front access for frequent re-patching, predictable airflow for cooling dense gear, and sturdy construction to withstand the rigors of daily use in broadcast studios and mobile production rigs. The combination of forward compatibility, Lever Lock, and an ecosystem of tool-free accessories contributes to a streamlined workflow where technicians can complete installations rapidly, verify connections confidently, and perform equipment swaps with minimal disruption to ongoing operations. This design philosophy translates into tangible benefits—faster rack installations, fewer support calls, improved patch integrity, and a more professional, dependable AV infrastructure that teams can trust in high-pressure situations.

How to install Middle Atlantic BGR Series 19RU AV Rack

• Assess the installation space to confirm it can accommodate a 37-inch tall rack with a 27-inch depth, ensuring adequate clearance for front access, rear cabling, and ventilation.
• Plan the internal layout by grouping equipment by function (signal processing, amplification, distribution, power management) to optimize airflow and minimize heat pockets. Prepare your tool-free accessories and verify compatibility with your gear.
• Prepare the mounting rails and front-access components. Because the BGR Series is forward-compatible and supports tool-free accessories, you can install rails and accessories without tools as part of a deliberate, staged deployment. Attach rails securely to ensure stable mounting, following the recommended mounting pattern for 19RU configurations.
• Begin with the heaviest equipment at the bottom to maintain center of gravity and reduce rack stress. Insert equipment through the front and slide into place, using the Lever Lock mechanism to secure each unit quickly. If you need to reconfigure in the future, the tool-free design allows rapid reorganization without downtime or heavy disassembly.
• Route cabling cleanly with internal guides or cable management panels. Keep power and signal cables separated where possible to reduce interference and improve cooling. Maintain clear space in front of equipment for heat dissipation, and confirm that all connections are secure before powering up the system.
• Perform a final check: verify that each module is firmly seated, that rails are correctly engaged, and that the Lever Lock latches are functioning. Power up in stages, testing each device for proper operation, and log changes for future maintenance. The result is a professional, reliable AV rack that delivers consistent performance and simple maintenance over time.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does “without rear door” mean for this rack? A: This model is designed without a rear door, offering direct back access for rapid servicing and quick cable management.
