The Blackmagic Design Fairlight Console Mounting Bar 2 Bay is a structural accessory designed to facilitate the secure and precise installation of Fairlight audio console modules into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. This mounting bar acts as an adapter or frame, allowing multiple console components—such as fader bays, master control sections, or meter bridges—to be grouped together and mounted as a single, cohesive unit within a rack. It is engineered to provide the necessary rigidity and alignment to ensure that the console modules are held securely in place, maintaining a professional, flush appearance and preventing any movement or sagging that could occur if modules were mounted individually. This is critical in broadcast and post-production environments where equipment must be reliably installed for long-term, daily use.

The "2 Bay" designation typically refers to the bar's capacity to support two adjacent console modules side-by-side within the rack width. The bar is constructed from durable metal, such as steel or aluminum, and features precisely spaced mounting holes that correspond to the attachment points on the Fairlight console modules and the standard hole patterns on a 19-inch rack. Installation involves attaching the console modules to the mounting bar first, and then securing the entire assembly into the rack using standard rack screws. This method simplifies the installation process, especially when dealing with multiple heavy modules, by allowing them to be pre-assembled on the bench before being lifted into the rack as one unit.

Using this dedicated mounting bar ensures a clean, integrated, and professional installation that maximizes rack space efficiency. It exemplifies the modular and system-oriented design philosophy of the Fairlight console series, where every component, down to the mounting hardware, is designed for optimal integration and reliability. For facility managers and system integrators building out a Fairlight-based audio suite, this mounting bar is an essential part of the installation toolkit, providing the mechanical foundation needed to create a stable, rack-mounted console system that meets the rigorous demands of professional audio production.
