Description
My Dad has a few pieces of broadcast audio gear from Broadcast Tools:
They are nearly perfect for a 10" mini rack, but if using the shelves included with the DeskPi RackMate racks, they are a hair too wide to fit, unless the shelf is flipped over.
The units are a few lbs each, and have four mounting holes on the bottom, which would fit perfectly in the 1U rackmount tray Broadcast Tools makes, the [RM-1 Rackmount Adapter](https://broadcasttools.com/product/rm-1-single-space-rack-adapter/):
It would be great to find a way to _securely_ mount these devices in a mini rack. Ideally just taking 1U of space.

Research direction
Review the DeskPi RackMate shelf dimensions and the Broadcast Tools RM-1 Rackmount Adapter linked in the issue, along with the pictured Broadcast Tools devices. Define a secure mounting approach that fits the devices in one 1U mini-rack space, then document or demonstrate the resulting hardware solution.
