Signature Series
Floor Standing Racks. Functional Designs.
The Signature Series is Gear Hive's line of premium floor-standing wood studio racks — precision-cut from A1 birch plywood on our CNC, edge-banded with real birch, and finished in your choice of 15 hand-applied stains.
Every rack in this series is engineered for serious studio use: cable management built in, optional casters for mobility, and sturdy construction that handles heavy professional gear. Whether you need a compact sidecar like the HPSL, a mid-size workhorse like the Oxford 1, or a full studio command center like the Oxford 2 & 3, there's a Signature Series rack for your setup.
Plywood construction gives these racks exceptional dimensional stability — they won't warp, crack, or shift over time the way solid wood or your typical studio furniture made from MDF or particle board. With birch edge banding and a premium topcoat, they look like solid wood and outlast the competition.
Built to order in Lodi, California. Ships in 1–2 weeks. Every rack arrives ready to assemble with only a Phillips screwdriver.

The HPSL is Gear Hive's most design-forward studio rack sidecar. Its subtly angled face, curved side panels, and mid-century modern silhouette make it as much a piece of furniture as a piece of studio gear. Available in 2U through 8U, it works perfectly as a freestanding sidecar with 16" powder-coated hairpin legs, or sits flush on your desk or console without legs.
The open-back design provides ample airflow and easy cable access — form and function working together. Optional top and side vents are available for builds that run hot. In both modern home studios and professional recording facilities, the HPSL is the studio rack for creators who care about aesthetics as much as performance.
