PROEL PXCOVER12N - Plexiglass Front Door for 12U Rack
The PROEL PXCOVER12N is a professional solution designed to enhance the security and aesthetics of your rack setups. Specifically designed to complement workstations and cabinets from the STUDIORK and STUDIORKXL series, this front door transforms an open rack into a secure, enclosed cabinet without compromising the visibility of your equipment. Manufactured to Proel's exacting Italian engineering standards, it combines robust materials with a functional design that facilitates both protection and daily operation in recording studios, control rooms, or fixed installations.
Its hybrid construction is one of its key strengths: it features a matte black steel perimeter frame that provides structural rigidity, framing a large, high-quality , transparent plexiglass window. This combination allows engineers and technicians to visually monitor the levels, status lights, and displays of the processors, amplifiers, or servers housed inside, while keeping them protected from dust, accidental bumps, or unauthorized access. It's the ultimate accessory for those looking to keep their hardware pristine and secure.
Installation and daily use have been optimized thanks to an innovative mounting system. Unlike traditional fixed doors, the PXCOVER12N incorporates spring-loaded hinges integrated into the frame. This mechanism allows for extremely quick installation and removal of the door without the need for complex tools, facilitating full access to the equipment when cable changes or intensive maintenance are required.

Product benefits
Integrating the PXCOVER12N door into your setup provides an essential layer of passive protection . By keeping the rack closed, you drastically reduce dust buildup on your equipment's potentiometers and fans, extending their lifespan and reducing the need for frequent internal cleaning. Furthermore, the physical security offered by its lock is vital in public access areas or commercial studios, ensuring your EQ or routing remains exactly as you left it.
Aesthetically, it offers a polished and clean "studio" finish, partially concealing front wiring or empty spaces when combined with blank panels, and unifying the visual appearance of the control tower.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is it compatible with any 19-inch rack?
