Millenium RW-2001

I use this to mount a Behringer Xenyx 2442fx (located in the top adjustable angle rack) with rack gear such as headphone amplifiers, gates, reverb, ect along the bottom rack. This comes with plenty of places to mount rack equipment and is especially useful if you have a lot of them. My band uses our own small set up for band rehearsal but being the drumming it was a bit awkward having the mixer in accessible reach to change any monitor mixes on the fly, luckily with this I was able to bring the mixer and the outboard gear much closer when at the drums and push it neatly away when band practice had finished.

I can also see this being very useful in a home studio set up that lacks a patch bay as it is much easier to move this around and get to the back of equipment than in a usual cabinet of rack equipment.

However there is an issue with this style rack, since its not a cabinet all of the cabling is on show so unless you have velcro cable ties it can look a bit messy and can often run over cables on the ground when moving around if you're not looking.
Another issue isn't with the product but rather with the manufacturer; it doesn't come with any instructions which does mean you have to figure it out as you go, but even with that it only took around 5-10 minutes to build.

Over all its a great product and very good price point.

Having not a huge area for use of a studio, I bought one of these to get as much racked as possible but also keeping it fairly 'mobile'.

I use this with a Yamaha MG166 mixer and separate 1U headphone amp fitted to the top tiltable section and underneath a very heavy power amp, tray and rack power supply.

It is very solidly built, nice smooth and lockable wheels to move it around on.

For a small studio, this is great and I succeeded in getting a majority if not all of the mess of cables off the floor or trailing between units and now all self contained on this rack stand. Due to it being not an enclosed frame, it still allows you to swivel round and change the cables with ease.

In a way I prefer this frame to the other designs where the lower rack is front mounted, as this rack allows me to sit in front of the tilted mixer, with the lower units set back far enough not to bash your knees against.

Just 2 star lost in quality as not all of the rack hole threads are as clean and well cut as they could have been, but overall very nice rack stand.

Highly recommended

I purchased two units. One was assembled without issues, while the second had a manufacturing defect. Specifically, the lower part of the right leg was missing a properly drilled through-hole on both sides for the bolt that secures it to the horizontal support bar at the base.

Thomann support offered a return. To avoid the time and inconvenience of repackaging and returning the item, I drilled the required hole myself so the unit could be assembled and used. It was an easy fix.

Additionally, as also noted in another review, the unit did not sit flat once assembled and required four washers (about 5 mm offset) to be added to one wheel screw to prevent rocking.

That said, if the unit you receive is free of defects, the product offers good value for the money. However, due to the quality inconsistencies experienced, I would not purchase it again.

The rack is exactly as advertised. It is sturdy enough for the task and easy to assemble. Manufacturing quality seems to be good. Better than you might expect for the (very reasonable) price. There are a couple of very minor points. The lower part of the rack (the none angled part) is a tight fit for my 19" shelf, and the supplied assembly instructions show "butterfly" type bolts for some of the connections although standard cap screws are provided. The pictures of the item on the actual web site show the normal cap screws though, so a VERY minor point. All in all I can recommend this product without reservation

You can mount quite a lot of rack equipment in this so I've found it very useful in my home studio, where I'm not bothered about protecting the equipemt or too bothered about cabling etc.

However, some of the screw sockets are defective, or it was the bolts it came with that didn't fit properely and tapped into the threads, renedering them unusable. There are therefore a couple of U that I can't use unless I drill through the screw holes and then just use a nut to fasten the bolt - not ideal.

I've also found the frame containing the screw holes extends quite far into the space where the rack unit sits. Hence, a 6U, deep unit was incredibly difficult to mount as some screw heads sticking out of the body didn't clear the rack frame. I haven't had a problem before with this unit in flight cases etc.
