The Analog Cases UNISON Case is designed to bridge the gap between heavy-duty flight cases and soft padded bags. It is built specifically for the Pioneer DDJ-FLX6, ensuring a snug fit that prevents the controller from shifting during transit. The exterior is constructed from black laminated wood panels reinforced with a sturdy aluminium frame, providing the rigidity of a traditional road case without the associated weight penalty.
Internal Construction
Protection is managed through a multi-layered interior system. The base features custom-cut foam inserts that are shaped to the specific dimensions of the DDJ-FLX6, cushioning the chassis and internal components. A top layer of egg-shell foam is utilised to protect the controller's sensitive touch-capacitive jog wheels, knobs, and faders from vertical pressure. Furthermore, a dedicated internal compartment is provided for cable storage, keeping peripherals organised and preventing them from scratching the hardware surface.
Hardware and Ergonomics
The UNISON case includes several industrial-grade hardware features for security and ease of use. It is equipped with metal latches that can be optionally locked, offering an extra layer of security for the equipment. For transport, the case features an ergonomic handle designed for comfort during long walks to venues. The design philosophy focuses on maintaining a lightweight profile to reduce physical strain on the user.
Comparison to Alternatives
Compared to traditional heavy-duty road cases, the UNISON series is significantly lighter, making it more suitable for solo performers who handle their own equipment. Unlike generic gig bags, such as the Rock Fusion Drum Bag Set or LP Cajon Bag, this case provides a rigid shell and custom-fit interior that prevents crushing. While it offers less storage than general-purpose orchestral cases like the BAM Conservatoire or Artisto series, its focus is strictly on the protection and portability of digital DJ hardware.
