Solid State Logic UC1 Rack Kit — 19-Inch Rackmount Ears for the SSL UC1 Plug-in Controller

Solid State Logic UC1 Rack Kit: Move the UC1 Off the Desk and Into the Rack

The UC1 ships as a desktop plug-in controller, but plenty of studios run a 19-inch rack as the backbone of the room. The Solid State Logic UC1 Rack Kit closes that gap. It is a set of precision-machined metal rack ears, made by SSL, that mount the UC1 into a standard 19-inch rack and free up the desk surface in front of you. Because it comes from the same manufacturer as the controller, the fit is exact — no shimming, no drilling, no guessing whether a third-party bracket will line up with the chassis.

Exact 19-Inch Fit, 6U of Rack Space, Hardware in the Box

The kit attaches left and right rack ears to the UC1 and sets it into a standard 19-inch rack at a 6U height. Every mounting screw you need is in the box, so installation is a single sitting rather than a trip to the hardware store. The result is a controller that sits flush in the rack rail, rigid and secure, with the knob-per-function front panel angled exactly where you reach for it during a mix.

Built for the Engineer Running a Rack-Based SSL System

If you are building out the SSL 360 ecosystem — pairing the UC1 with a UF8 fader bank or a UF1 — a rack keeps the whole control surface organized and repeatable. The UC1 Rack Kit lets you fix the UC1's position so it never slides on the desk, never gets bumped out of reach, and always comes back to the same spot. For touring and mobile engineers, racking the UC1 means it travels in a flight rack alongside the rest of the rig, protected and ready to patch in on arrival.

Why First-Party Rack Ears Matter

Generic rack shelves force you to lay a desktop unit flat on a tray, wasting rack space and leaving the controller loose. SSL's dedicated ears bolt directly to the UC1's chassis at the factory mounting points, so the unit becomes part of the rack itself. First-timer, upgrader, or a comparison shopper weighing a universal shelf against the real thing — the dedicated kit is the one that fits the way the controller was designed to be mounted.
