Has anyone else tried rack mounting their RMC? I received the 3U ears and it seems like the hole pattern doesn't match at all. I can make 1 hole align but the ears are not flush with the front panel in this position. It seems like these are not meant to be paired together??

How old is your RMC-1L and did you just purchase the rack ears...? I do remember seeing some sort of note regarding the RMC-1L on the sales page for the rack ears, but it's no longer there. I do remember that this note mentioned a specific hole in the side of the RMC-1L. If that hole wasn't there, then you needed a modified version of the 3RU ears. I'd call Emotiva rather than wait for a response here. But do us all a favor who also own the RMC-1L and post their answer...  |

ewiles... Here are two screen captures of Emotiva's "rack ears" sales page from May 2021. I obtained these using webarchive.org. Here's the "note" I mentioned regarding the XMC-2/RMC-1L...  Here's the "3RU - MOD" ears shown in the dropdown list...  EDIT: FWIW, I don't believe my RMC-1L has those holes. I purchased mine in June 2020.

I used rack ears from my XMC-1. I just had to drill a couple holes. But I agree that you should call and see if they have the modified ones in stock.

Correct… The “3RU - MOD” rack ears are no longer on the site and haven’t been for some time. I have verified that my RMC-1L does not have the holes that are circled in the photo that I posted above. So, if I were to have ordered, I would require those same ears. I’d be curious to know what they tell you, so please do post their answer… |

I had a to of back and fort the with Emotive support on the ears. The send me some "modified" ones, but I ended up have to file the holes out more to make them work. I have a stack of Rotel amps that fit the rack perfectly but at the end of the day the XMC-2 has screws protruding from the bottom that make mount difficult.
With some effort, with feet removed to mount flush with the apes etc, I was able to get it to work, not so mum with he 1U ears for an older XDR-2.
My rack has A/C running though it so am not concerned so much with heat but up, with feet removed and contiguous mounting.
