Gator G MIX ATA Pop Up Mixer Case (12 Space) Review

Gator G MIX ATA Pop Up Mixer Case (12 Space)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After extensive research and reading dozens of reviews, I purchased the Gator G-mix-12 PU for my Mackie Onyx 1620 mixer (optional FireWire card installed). Although the Gator case "fit chart" did not list this case for my mixer, the Mackie 1620 fits the case perfectly without bottoming out or being jammed. A pair of flat-metal bars provides threaded seats for every rack hole. A full package of rack bolts with plastic washers was included. There is enough extra space between the mixer and top of the rack frame to route cords. A 2-inch wide wrist-rest sits at the bottom of the rack and prevents the bottom edge of the mixer from scraping on the metal rack-edge. The tilt-up rack frame lets you set the mixer angle in 3 degree increments up to 36 degrees with a no-hands-needed spring loaded catch. When the rack is raised all the way, the catch automatically releases and lets you lower the rack to the bottom. The catch is completely automatic with no finger-pinching buttons to push or protruding knobs to turn on the tilt mechanism. SLICK! The Mackie FireWire card on my mixer protrudes a little from the back but has plenty of clearance with the tilting rack. An interior cut-out slot in the foam-lined top and oodles of room beneath the mixer provide lots of cord storage. Eggcrate foam lines the top of the case but is a little too snug on the mixer knobs when the top is seated. The top should work OK if it is seated gently while closing the case. Don't shove the top sideways to get the case mated or you could bend the mixer knobs. A single padded metal D-handle swings out when you need to lift or drag the mixer case. The D-handle is recessed and held in the recess with a spring. This is the only lift handle on the case which makes placement or removal of the case in a tight spot occasionally awkward. A luggage-type slide out handle and rollerblade wheels let you transport the mixer over firm surfaces without busting a gut. This is a strong, well thought-out case. The case corners are reinforced with metal. The four metal latches are decent but do not have key locks and have flip-up "ears" that can catch on things. Gator guarantees against factory defects for life. My only concerns are the long-term ruggedness of the pop-up catch mechanism and the toughness of wheels - both of which remain to be seen.

Gator G MIX ATA Mixer and Equipment Case (24 x 36 Inches) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this case for my Behringer PMP6000 Powered Mixer to protect it from damages while being moved from one venue to another. I'm a professional musician & the last thing my band would need is having one of our main pieces of gear for the PA System get damaged.
No, this is not an anvil roa case however, it does exactly what I need it to do. I knew I bought the case larger than the PMP6000 but, after doing some very minor alterations the case firmly holds the mixer & I have the additional space to store the speaker cables, extra connectors, mixer light along with other items that go along with this portion of our PA.
The "butterfly locks" securely keeps the case closed with no room for failure (such as the case popping open while in transit); the pull out handle & wheels are a bonus & the unit is generally strong enough to handle any possible damage while keeping our gear safe.

Gator Studio 2 Go Laptop Mobile Recording ATA Case (4 Rack Space) Review

Gator Studio 2 Go Laptop Mobile Recording ATA Case (4 Rack Space)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I found this product on the Gator website after looking at every one of their products, and this one finally ended up being the perfect fit for what I'm needing it for (to haul my small PA gear). It is light weight, its got wheels that are real smooth, and it's the perfect size. The only thing that is a little misleading is the "laptop or mixer" part. It works great for a lap top, but unless you have a really low profile mixer then your going to be squeezing it in there (my 8 channel mixer just squeezes in there and it makes the cover bulge because its height is a little tall). You might be able to get a little more room by removing the foam out from the cover (but I haven't done that yet just because it's so nice and I hate to cut it out). I have a 14 channel mixer that doesn't fit in the top at all, it just barely sticks out over the edge, and that was the one I wanted to fit, but oh well.
Overall, I'm very impressed with the quality of the case, the locks, the covers, even the laptop holder area, but the laptop area is a little too small if you want to fit a normal sized small mixer in there, although you can make it work like I have.
This would be perfect for a small portable recording rig with a laptop!

La Patrie Guitar, Collection Review

I bought mine 11 years ago; it sounded great out of the case, but it has aged and mellowed beautifully. The sound is full, rich, and can play very loud or at a slight whisper -- with nothing lost as far as tone. The overtones are gorgeous, and notes will ring for a minute or two if left untouched. This is by far the best classical guitar for the money. You can't go wrong buying this masterpiece of craftsmanship; it's a work of art.

SKB PS45 Deluxe Pedalboard with Hard Case Review

SKB PS45 Deluxe Pedalboard with Hard Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In my opinion SKB's PS45 is the best case out there before you start getting into custom solutions. ESPECIALLY for the Amazon price (20 cheaper than the online music retailers and free shipping which is uncommon for this item too)! Furman power strip is great too offering both protection and as many plugins as you'll need for the pedal space provided. The only reason I would upgrade from this pedal board would be if I run out of pedal space. Even then not all is lost, as the furman strip detaches from the skb case. So I'll be able to use the furman strip in an ATA case if necessary.

SKB Injection molded Strat/TeleFlight Case - TSA Latches, w/wheels Review

SKB Injection molded Strat/TeleFlight Case - TSA Latches, w/wheels
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This case would survive a fall from ORBIT! Seriously, this is a well built case designed to carry Fender Strat style guitars under most any traveling conditions. I was impressed with all of the built-in features. This is the most rugged travel case I could find on the internet without being constructed of solid metal or weighing a ridiculous amount. The description is spot-on. Even the wheels are bolted on to prevent loss or breakage. The small accessory pocket holds my electronic metronome, electronic tuner, 2 sets of strings, string winder and strap with room to spare. The hinged lid on the accessory compartment could use a small strap with velcro to keep it closed, but it's of small concern considering the fit and finish of the overall case. My Cort M200 fits with extra room in the head area. The neck isn't supported the entire length, but two layers of bubble wrap fit the bill and the strings still aren't tight against the lid. The price is a bit on the high end. In the future, I might consider looking into a tactical weapon case, at a lower price, in the same dimensions, to save some money. Overall, I would recommend this case, as the best protection for traveling with a high-end guitar.
