Overview
The Grundorf Carpet Series Studio Equipment Rack Shell (SR-1216) is a professional-grade, lidless rack solution designed for home and commercial studio environments. Engineered for those who require easy, immediate access to their gear without the bulk of a full road case, this 12U shell provides a stable and attractive housing for a wide array of pro audio and video equipment.
Constructed from heavy-duty multi-layer 5/8″ plywood and wrapped in a durable, easy-care black carpet finish, the SR-1216 blends functional utility with a clean studio aesthetic. It is an ideal choice for organizing DAW interfaces, outboard processing, playback systems, and recording hardware in a permanent or semi-permanent installation.
