Overview

The Gator G-MIX 24X36 is a rigid transport solution for audio engineers and touring musicians. It is specifically engineered to meet ATA (Air Transport Association) specifications, making it suitable for air travel and rigorous touring schedules. The exterior is formed from near-indestructible polyethylene, offering a high level of impact resistance while remaining lighter than traditional plywood flight cases.

Internal Configuration

The interior of the case measures 24 inches by 36 inches. To accommodate different mixer depths and control surface layouts, Gator includes a tricot-lined foam interior. This lining prevents scratches on the equipment's finish. Furthermore, the case features an angled pad and a Velcro wedge system, allowing the user to secure the mixer firmly in place to prevent shifting during transit.

Transport and Handling

Recognising the weight of large-format analogue or digital mixers, the G-MIX 24X36 is equipped with mobility features. It includes a built-in carry handle for short lifts, alongside a retractable pull-out tow handle. The base is fitted with robust plastic wheels, enabling a single operator to move the cased equipment across flat surfaces with minimal effort.

Target Audience and Use Cases

This case is primarily intended for live sound companies, houses of worship, and touring bands who utilise large consoles. Given its specific dimensions, it is frequently used for 24-channel or 32-channel mixers that fall within the 24" x 36" footprint. It serves as a middle ground between lightweight soft bags, such as the Latin Percussion LP Cajon Bag or Gear4music drum bags, and custom-built heavy wooden flight cases.
