Re: Portable Case for Cyndustries modules ?

2007-01-31 by legion01x

I have one of these cases for my Fenix. I don't know if it would work
for Cyndustries or modcan items offhand but these are the questions
you need to answer to find out:

1. The depth of the case is 5 inches so you need to make sure the
modules are smaller than that in depth. Most of them are in my
experience with the ZO being the most chock full of analog board
goodness so I'm not sure about that one.

2. You need some 19" wide rack/rail system to mount them. The Cyn
sixpaks are 7" deep so they won't work in that case. Modcan makes a
"Mounting Chassis" for A system modules but the one with the rack ears
claims to be 9" deep so that won't work: http://modcan.com/mount.html
The Modcan system does come with a PS and buss system. The Cyn Sixpaks
 have a buss system and you can use any of their module power supplies
as needed.

Two suggestions outside of the SKB mixer case: 

A shallow "normal" table type SKB or other case. That should work well
with the Modcan chasis.  

The Cyn sixpaks can be screwed together to form one long unit. That
wouldn't be 19" but if you have the means to make your own frame you
can mount the complete set of sixpaks into that and have a "portable"
case. 

I have six sixpaks screwed together as my sole Cyn/Modcan case (one
sixpak being the large PS) and it's too heavy for a reasonable
portable system but 2-3 sixpaks might work quite well. You can mount
the PS and run the buss cables internally through the sixpaks and
you'll have all the wires hidden inside the system so the outside will
be only the modules on the face and the 7" deep case. 

Hope that helps some.
