See live pricesOverview and Construction
The Gator GTOURWINGNDH is a road-ready flight case designed to provide a secure environment for high-end digital consoles. The shell is built from 9mm thick plywood, which is finished with a rigid armoured laminate to resist scratches and impact damage.
To ensure structural integrity during transit, the case features reinforced stackable ball corners. These allow multiple cases of similar dimensions to be safely tiered in a warehouse or tour vehicle, while the commercial-grade plated hardware ensures longevity even under heavy use.
Internal Protection and Fit
Internally, the GTOURWINGNDH utilizes custom-cut EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam. Unlike generic foam inserts, this interior is precisely shaped to the dimensions of the Behringer Wing, preventing the unit from shifting during transport. The foam serves as a shock-absorbing barrier, mitigating the impact of bumps and vibrations that could otherwise damage the mixer's sensitive faders, touchscreens, and internal electronics.
Alignment and Security
A critical feature of the GTOURWINGNDH is the inclusion of an aluminium valence. This extrusion runs along the meeting point of the lid and the base, assisting in the precise alignment of the two halves when the case is being closed. This ensures that the latches engage correctly every time, maintaining a tight seal and providing maximum structural rigidity.
User and Application
This case is primarily intended for professional audio engineers, rental houses, and touring bands who require a reliable method for moving the Behringer Wing console between venues. Its heavy-duty construction makes it suitable for air travel and long-haul trucking, where equipment is subjected to rigorous handling.
