cabinet depth

2011-12-23 by egroups@blauwurf.info

Hi All,

    I just stumbled upon this image:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Synthesis_Technology_MOTM.jpg

To me the cabinet appears to be intriguingly shallow, anyone knows details about it?
(maybe too shallow for some modules?

Thanks,  Michael.

These are SKB popup mixer cases.  If you lay them flat you can lift the 
modules up at an angle on ratcheting arms.  They won't accommodate all 
MOTM format modules.  Definitely not something like the Blacet Time 
Machine in MOTM format.  Other than that limitation they're great.

My recollection is that Paul designed the module depths with this case in mind.
They are great, but they get heavy when loaded.
I've used nylon spacers to accommodate a deeper module - it's not pretty but it works.

They are great, but they get kinda heavy when loaded. Someone ( one of the stooges?) made aftermarket back panel covers as well.

I have one of these SKB cases. Very handy for creating a small travel synth from 
my bigger system.  It also looks quite nice.  However, the clasps to keep the 
cover on are a little underdesigned, the cover can come undone rather easily.  
Still, good bank for the buck.  I was planning a panel to use up the remaining 
space with mults, a stereo headphone amp and a power connection, but never got 
around to it.  Not sure but I thought someone else had created a panel for this 
space.

I think it's Dave.  And if he ever has to stop for some reason, I'll
take it over to keep it around...

If someone wants a heavier duty case (that weighs more of course!) and
doesn't need the popup functionality fixed position cases designed for live
mixers can work really well. 

Here's a picture of a EWI case I'm using. I modified it so the rails are
parallel to the case bottom instead of being angled. It's considered a 12U
with extra depth. I changed the angle of the rail mounts and swapped in some
14U rails:

These cases are a great value! Here's a link to the case on the seller's
site (Audiopile.net). It's only $120 plus shipping!
http://www.audiopile.net/products/Cases/Mixer_Cases/MXC-12L/MXC-12L_cutsheet
.shtml

They also have standard 10U and 12U mixer racks you could use as-is or
modify to be flat. (only $100 and $110 respectively)

Wow, sorry for all the fractured links! :-(

I added the picture of my rack to the misc section in the group photos. 

For the EWI cases at AudioPile go here and select the Mixer link:

If anyone is interested in this type of case I have two of the Gator Cases G-MIX-12 PU that are brand new in their boxes that I'd like to sell.  These are an inch deeper than the SKB cases.
