FabDJ Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Bought a aluminium case from Bunnings 29.00 and will put my mixer and installed connections in it.I was wasting too much time setting up with installing plugs etc.Will have two grommet holes to side front and back and setup by pulling out the usb plug to laptop and pull out amp input plugs and power from the other grommet hole . Open top and ready to go.Three cord connection should take minutes.Amp power and connection to speakers should be the usual time but have mixer case opened and ready to go faster.

SourceRaver Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Pics Fab!It reminds me of a guitarist who installed all his foot pedals in a brief case with split hinges. Arrived at the gig, opened it up and poped in on the floor ready to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Looks good man, what are u using for cushioning/padding on the inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SourceRaver Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Nice!Looks like it has room for a powerboard as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabDJ Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Looks good man, what are u using for cushioning/padding on the inside?The case came with separation panels and internal padding.Had to make my own panel to put along the side of the mixer. Stripped the foam lining off two existing separation panels that were too short and glue them to a piece of masonite cut to length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
