Millenium RW-2001

Overall a good rack, and I will buy the same should I need it.

Some of the screw holes aren't well aligned, so you end up not being able to use them. This wasn't a big problem for me, as I was installing the Behringer Eurorack to 19 inch units which are light weight and have 4 bolt holes, so it worked fine using 3 bolts.

The lower part of the rack ihas no issues, which is good because that's where all my heavy 1U modules are.

I also managed to fit a 2U shelf in both the top and bottom 1U slots, as there is enough clearance to do this. So I can use the shelves for not rack modules, PSU bricks and the like.

The only improvement (other that the alignment issues) would be a mechanism to hold the top rotating part in position better. The Millennium comes with 2 metal strips which I guess are meant to do this, much I didn't find them useful. I ended up getting some rubber washers, and but them on the rotating pivot, which gives a bit better friction to hold the top part in place.

I particularly like the rotating feature, as you can easily get access to the back of the modules, or angle them towards you is you are standing up.


Overall - very happy with this rack!

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.
