(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.
