> With the double slant, I knew this would result in what I call a stadium
> corner which is an inverted triangle space in each corner. I plan to use

> The width of the lower wing cabinet is only enough for 2 rows of 8U each.
> However, the width was chosen as to have a top width at the face that is
> exactly the right size to put a cabinet made for 19" rack mounting. The two
> stadium wing corner cabinets will each have a 19" 12U tall rack cabinet
> (same walnut). I will use those on each side to mix and match MOTM modules
> on rack rails and the 19" gear like my Kenton pro-2000 and vocoder. The 12U
> tall 19" rack units will be the same height as my top two one row x 24U
> middle cabinets so that the height all the way round will be the same.
>
> Here is the photo. The corner is not exactly correct in the prototype as I
> forgot to allow for the 45" cut on the side board and started with it too
> narrow. But, you can see the concept.
