Just wondering if anyone has submitted the official dimensions to Middle Atlantic to add to their databse for custom rack shelves. I will be putting my rack together in a month or so and would like to order a custom shelf for the 990. While I could measure it myself with a ruler. I think the most accurate way to do it was if the Outlaws submitted the dimensions to Middle Atlantic to add to their database.

Any help on this?

Thanks

I'd look forward to such a shelf my self. My 990 doesn't fit on the standard size, I'm going to rig something up or build one myself to the deep beast....

I tried putting my 990 in a 755 Middle Atlantic custom shelf and the 990 is to wide. I am also looking forward to a custom rack shelf.

I am also interested in what Middle Atlantic can come up with for the 990. I wish that Outlaw would offer rackmount ears for the 990.

In previous posts I also wished for ears. Perhaps Scott can come up with something. Would be nice to have ears for all their amps, rcvrs and pre/pros.

I have to wonder if there aren't a lot of us out there who prefer 19" racks. Dunno.

I have all my equipment in Middle Atlantic racks. The 990 was an extremely tight fit, due mostly to its depth. The BRK-20 rack is deep (18") but as you all know, so is the 990. I had to cut away some of the plastic channel that I use for cable management, but after that It slid in fine.

I have all my components on Middle Atlantic U2 racks. The shelf is wide enough to accomodate the 990 and the capacity is 50 lbs. Although the shelf is only 14 3/4" deep, the 990 sits on it ok. The feet are inset enough for it to sit on the lips of the shelf. I've seen that Middle Atlantic offers custom shelves but don't know how they look or how much they cost. The U2s look and perform fine for me and at less than $40 each, do so at a good price.

Here's a link to pics of my gear with the newly acquired 990 and 7100 sitting proudly at the bottom:

Just wanted to throw the question out again now that its been a few months.... has anyone bought a custom rack shelf from Middle Atlantic for the 990? If so, what dimensions did you use. I will be ordering a custom rack shelf for my 990 shortly...just wanted to compare measurements with someone who already did this.

Are the Outlaws going to submit a 990 to Middle Atlantic so they can measure it and officially add it to the database? I dont really want to send mine out to them :-).


Thanks for any info.

Bump.. I'm nearing the end of my room construction and should be racking up my gear in the next month or so. Anyone ordered a custom shelf yet?

Middle Atlantic has a 950 template, but no 990.

I bought a custom shelf for my 990 finally. It is about 1/16" too wide and 1/16" too tall. But it looks fine. Here are the dimensions i used to order the rack followed by the dimensions I think will give a better fit.

My Measurements:
Width: 17 3/8"
Height: 7 1/8"
Foot: 23/32"
Depth: 17 11/16"

Better Fit:
Width: 17 5/16"
Height: 7 1/16"
Foot: 25/32"
Depth: 17 11/16"


It would be great though if the outlaws could provide MA a 990 to get the correct measurements for future shelves!

Good luck.

Oh and it doesnt have rounded corners so there are spaces in the corners too since the 990 has rounded corners. That would also be a benefit for getting a 990 to MA..nice rounded corners.
