The AB168-RK10 from Allen & Heath is a rackmount kit, which lets you mount the AB168 AudioRack interface in a 19" equipment rack or a case, taking four rack spaces.
These rack ears will only mount on the AB168's front panel where the microphone connectors are located.

At $90 this is far too expensive for what they are, basic rack ears. Worse, they only work to mount the AB168 stage box in one orientation in an equipment case, a detail that was not included in the description. In my application, the screw channel for the rack mount is on the front of the case, but the connections for the equipment are accessed from the back, by swinging the case out on hinges from its wall mount. These rack ears will only mount to the side of the AB168 that has the microphone connections, an orientation that I cannot use, so these $90 pieces of stamped metal are useless to me. It seems to me it would have been simple to have mounting points on the AB168 on both sides of the case, to allow it to be rack mounted in either orientation. In my opinion, these rack ears should be an included item with the AB168 Stage Box, not sold separately for almost $90.
Finally decided to rackmount my AB168 but couldn't find the rackmount kit anywhere, not even at B&H. B&H has a good track record for things that I've ordered in the past so I placed my order with B&H and expected that it would take a few weeks to a month before I received the rackmount kit but I was pleasantly surprised to get the kit delivered in a few days! It came with the screws to mount it to the AB168 and good instructions for the the retrofit. It is a perfect fit.
