GRIFFIN 19U Rack Mount Rolling Stand with Adjustable Mixer Platform

In this review the Griffin 19U Rack Mount Rolling Stand is evaluated for studio owners, DJs and live techs who need a compact, mobile solution to keep outboard gear within reach. The biggest reason to consider it is the combination of a 9-space vertical rack and a 10-space adjustable mixer platform that holds heavy, oversized mixers while keeping controls visible and accessible. It is a practical choice for anyone wanting a steel, wheeled rack with customizable angle and straightforward protection for mixers and amplifiers.

Key Features

• All-steel construction: The heavy-duty frame offers a sturdy foundation for rack gear and amplifiers so equipment stays secure during transport and use.
• Adjustable mixer platform: The 10-space top platform tilts from level to a slanted position to improve visibility and ergonomics for mixing and live control.
• High capacity: The platform accepts mixers up to 36 in wide, 27 in long and 3 in deep and supports oversized units up to 175 pounds without casters.
• Mobile with locks: Four smooth-gliding caster wheels, two lockable, let you move the rack easily and lock it in place during sessions or performances.
• Padded protection: Two included rail strip pads plus metal lip edges keep a mixer from sliding and reduce direct metal-to-gear contact.
• Standard rack compatibility: The bottom section provides nine vertical American standard rack spaces and includes 20 rack screws for installation.

Who It's For

This rack stand is aimed at home and project studio owners, mobile DJs and small venues that need a compact, professional-looking rack to hold signal processors, amplifiers and a mixer in one footprint. The tilt platform is especially useful for anyone who needs quick visual access to channel strips and master controls.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need a full 19-space front-access rack cabinet with enclosed sides for roadproofing, or engineers who require deep internal storage for very large racks. Also note some buyers report screw size issues, so shops that insist on exact factory screw compatibility may prefer a different supplier.
