SKB8-Space A/V Shelf
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A rack-mount shelf that takes up eight rack spaces, giving non-rackable gear a place to sit inside a standard rack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Holding a laptop, mixer or player that has no rack ears
- Building a rack that mixes rack gear with tabletop gear
- Fixed installs where loose gear needs to stop sliding around
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Racks with fewer than eight free spaces left
- Anyone whose gear already has rack ears — mount it directly
- Shallow shock-mount cases with little usable depth behind the rails
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
A/V shelf
It carries gear that was never designed to be rack-mounted, rather than being a piece of gear itself.
Detail 03
Shelf, not a drawer
Open front and top, so cables run straight out and you can reach controls without pulling anything.
Detail 04
Rack-rail mounting
Bolts to the front rails like any rack panel. Weight loads onto those rails, so tighten all screws.
Detail 05
$119.99
Priced as a utility part, not a feature item. Budget it alongside the rack itself, not against gear.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Count your free rack spaces first — this needs eight in a row
- 02Measure gear depth and height against the shelf opening
- 03Rack screws and cage nuts are a separate purchase in most racks
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How much rack space does it use?
Eight rack spaces. In a 12-space rack that leaves you four, so decide what else has to fit before ordering.
02Will it fit my rack?
It mounts to standard 19-inch rack rails. Check that your rack has eight consecutive free spaces and enough internal depth for whatever you're setting on it.
03Can I put a laptop on it?
Yes — that's the point of an A/V shelf. Anything without rack ears sits on the shelf instead of being bolted to the rails.
04Do I need to secure the gear on top?
For anything that moves, yes. A shelf holds weight but doesn't strap gear down. Use hook-and-loop or a strap if the rack travels.
