Apollo x6 Rack Ear Thickness

Good morning. I have a new x6 in route to me and am specifying options for a computer monitor stand to house it and a power conditioner below that will control the x6 and a pair of audio monitors:

One option for the stand is the inset for the rack rails...

Can anyone point me to a schematic that includes the thickness of the x6 rack ears? I understand that the faceplate and knobs extrude even further. But I'm trying to optimize for a very small mixing desk that I'm outfitting to experience LUNA on macOS, both of which will be new to me.

I'd also like to confirm that the following dimension from the manual does NOT include the rack ears:
Depth, Chassis Only 12.125 in (30,80 cm)​

I'm guessing I'll need to reach out to support but thought I'd start here in case someone has a schematic on hand.

Are you trying to get the unit embedded as deeply as possible in the rack? I've not seen that spec listed anywhere.

Thanks for offering your time to assist me, @Matt Hepworth. Actually, I would say as "shallow" and as close to flush with the front of the rack as possible. I guess 1/8-inch inset is the obvious option for me to choose. To be sure, I'll wait to order the stand until the two components arrive.

The rack ears on mine are about 1/8" thick, if that's what you're asking. Not sure as to total depth as it's buried in a rack and I can't easily get to the back.

Thanks for sharing, @squeakyanimal. I'll also post back what I learn about the measurements when I unbox the x6 in a few days.
