RTS MCP-2 Rack Mount for Partyline Interface Device, Speaker, Power Supply - Gray

The RTS MCP-2 Rack Mount is a purpose-built enclosure designed to integrate a single main modular RTS component into a clean, professional rack system. Engineered with the durable, modular mindset that RTS is known for, this rack mount kit offers a flexible mounting solution that adapts to diverse configurations in live sound, broadcast, and institutional communication environments. Its gray finish not only looks sleek in any control room or production space but also helps minimize visible wear in demanding setups. By pairing the MCP-2 with a Partyline Interface Device, a compatible speaker, and a power supply, operators gain a compact, organized, and scalable hub that keeps essential communications gear securely grouped and easily accessible. The kit emphasizes fast installation, stable performance, and thoughtful cable routing, making it ideal for theaters, houses of worship, event venues, and mobile production crews that require reliable, modular infrastructure.

• Modular design for virtually any configuration: The MCP-2 rack mount embraces RTS’s modular user station philosophy, allowing a single main component to be mounted within a rack space and combined with other RTS modules to form customized configurations. This approach supports incremental upgrades, rearrangements, and future expansions without overhauling the entire setup. Whether you’re expanding a partyline network or reconfiguring a control station for a different production, the MCP-2 provides the adaptable backbone you need to stay ahead of changing requirements. Its compatibility with standard rack dimensions ensures a seamless fit into existing rack rooms or portable flight cases, helping you optimize space while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
• Durable, tool-enabled installation for reliable performance: Built to endure the rigors of live events and daily use, the MCP-2 rack mount uses high-strength materials and robust mounting brackets designed to withstand routine assembly and disassembly. The hardware is selected to provide secure, vibration-resistant mounting for the main modular component, minimizing the risk of misalignment or loosening during transport and operation. The result is consistent performance in demanding environments, whether you’re running a multi-channel rehearsal, a press event, or a touring show. The kit’s sturdy construction ensures that your partyline interface device, speaker, and power supply stay firmly in place during complex setups and rigging, giving technicians peace of mind during critical moments.
• Comprehensive compatibility for RTS partyline ecosystems: The MCP-2 is designed to integrate smoothly with RTS Partyline Interface Devices and related accessories, enabling streamlined interconnections within a single rack footprint. By consolidating the main component together with control and audio distribution hardware, this rack mount helps reduce cable clutter and simplifies access to critical controls. The modular nature also supports future RTS add-ons or upgrades, so you can expand your system without replacing existing hardware. This thoughtful compatibility ensures that you can deploy a scalable, reliable communications network that remains easy to service and upgrade as your operations evolve.
• Ergonomic, space-efficient design for busy workspaces: The gray finish and compact profile of the MCP-2 rack mount contribute to a professional, unobtrusive presence in control rooms and live environments. The design prioritizes efficient use of rack space, enabling technicians to position the partyline interface device, speaker, and power supply in a logical, accessible layout. With orderly cable routing options and clear access to essential connectors, technicians can perform routine checks, disconnect/reconnect devices, and troubleshoot quickly without disrupting other equipment. This space-saving approach is particularly valuable in venues or facilities with tight rack arrays or limited bench space, where every inch of room counts.
• Warranty-friendly, low-maintenance operation for long-term value: The MCP-2 rack mount is designed to deliver durable, maintenance-friendly performance over time. The rugged construction and standardized mounting points reduce wear on connectors and housings, while the modular setup simplifies part replacement and serviceability. For systems that require consistent reliability across multiple events or shifts, the MCP-2 becomes a practical addition that minimizes downtime and service costs while preserving the integrity of the RTS ecosystem. The result is a measurable improvement in uptime and operational efficiency for audio-visual teams, technicians, and facility managers.

how to install RTS MCP-2

• Prepare the rack and components: Confirm that you have the MCP-2 rack mount kit, the main modular RTS component, and any compatible accessories (Partyline Interface Device, speaker, power supply). Clear the workspace and ensure you have the necessary tools for mounting screws and brackets.
• Position the mounting brackets: Attach the appropriate brackets to the sides of the main modular component according to RTS’s mounting guidelines. Align holes with the rack’s front rails to ensure a straight, stable fit. Use the screws provided in the kit to secure the brackets firmly to the main unit.
• Mount into the rack: Slide or place the bracket-attached main component into the designated rack space. Align the bracket holes with the rack rails and secure with screws or hardware specified by the kit. Check that the assembly is level and that the component sits firmly with no wobble.
• Connect and manage cabling: Route all connections to the partyline interface, speaker, and power supply with care to avoid cable strain. Use cable ties or routing guides as needed to maintain a clean installation and minimize interference. Keep power cables separated from signal lines where possible for best audio performance.
• Test and finalize: Power up the system and verify that all devices communicate correctly through the rack-mount arrangement. Confirm that the main modular component remains stable under typical operating conditions, including any expected vibration or transport. Perform a quick diagnostic to ensure that the rack mount does not introduce electrical or mechanical noise into the system.
