Audix RMT41KIT - Rack Mount Kit for R41 and R61 Wireless Receivers
Optimize your professional audio setup and ensure the integrity of your wireless signal with the Audix RMT41KIT . This mounting system is specifically designed to integrate Audix Performance Series receivers (R41 and R61 models) into a standard 19-inch rack environment. Far from being a mere aesthetic accessory, this kit is an essential tool for sound engineers and technicians seeking reliability and organization in their setups.
The kit includes the RMT4161 mounting hardware set, consisting of heavy-duty metal mounting brackets that adapt the receiver's half-rack size to the full width of a 1U rack. Its robust metal construction protects the equipment from shocks and vibrations during transport or in fixed installations, ensuring the receiver remains securely in place at all times.
One of the most critical aspects of this kit is its ability to improve radio frequency (RF) performance. When installing receivers inside a metal rack, the antennas are often hidden or blocked, which can cause interference and signal drops. The Audix RMT41KIT solves this problem by including all the necessary BNC cables and pass-through connectors to relocate the antennas to the front panel. This ensures a direct line of sight to the transmitters, maximizing coverage and signal stability.

-
Front antenna management: Includes high-quality BNC extension cables and bulkhead connectors to move antennas from the rear to the front.
-
Durable construction: Made of sturdy metal with a matte black finish, ideal for withstanding the demands of touring and everyday use.

Benefits for the professional
Using the RMT41KIT transforms a loose, cluttered setup into a professional workstation. By securing the receiver to the rack, the dangers of accidental drops and cable disconnections during performances are eliminated. Furthermore, the front-facing relocation of the antennas is vital for maintaining pristine audio quality, preventing the "shielding" that occurs when antennas are buried inside metal cabinets filled with other electronic equipment.
Use cases
-
Tours and live events: Protect receivers inside flight cases and facilitate quick antenna connection upon arrival at the venue.
-
Fixed installations: Ideal for theaters, auditoriums, churches or conference rooms where equipment needs to be centralized in a technical cabinet.
-
Broadcast Studios: Maintains order in control racks and ensures clean reception in environments with high equipment density.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can this kit be used to mount two receivers together?
This specific kit (RMT41KIT) is designed with one long and one short ear for mounting a single receiver in the center or side of the rack space.
-
Is it compatible with receivers from other brands?
No, the mounting holes and dimensions are designed exclusively for the chassis of the Audix R41 and R61 models.
-
Do BNC cables affect signal quality?
The included cables are low loss and short in length, designed specifically for this application, so signal loss is negligible and more than compensated for by gaining direct line of sight.
-
What tools do I need for the installation?
Generally, only a standard screwdriver is required to attach the ears to the receiver and a suitable wrench to tighten the nuts on the BNC connectors.
