Fave hard cases for A4?

when i had a Teenage Engineering OP-1 a lot of co-users were buying cheap gun cases from Amazon, etc

do you guys have any fave options under $50 or so ?

In my opinion: don’t limit yourself to a 50$ case to protect your 1000$+ investment. Buy a case that will protect and serve for a long period of time rather than a cheap solution to get from a to b.

That said: I use and can highly recommend pelican cases. I use a 1550 that can hold 2 elektrons plus cables and an op1, and some pedals, but they make cases that are perfect for 1 elektron and some cables.

every time I’ve needed a hard case I went to Grundorf.
they have many stock sizes and shapes and will do custom cases for you at what I feel is a reasonable price especially intheir carpeted cases.

If you transport your gear to gigs a lot it’s worth the investment. I’ll be getting something to hold my OT and A4 both. I personally prefer to have the hardware in the case only and then carry my cables in a bag this way the equipment fits snugger and the case is smaller.

Did you need to buy those adapters separately?

Adapters? Do you mean rack mount kit?
I’m waiting my SKB 12U pop-up ata mixercase and plan to install 3 elektron boxes into it. I have few ideas how to do it. :slight_smile:

Hmm good luck with that. I have an A4 in a 10u with an octa-track. I have to leave two spaces open to access the wires. I guess with 90 degree plugs you could do it with one space in between,

You can install your units in this way without spaces between them. You have to just flip vertically your rack ears of one unit and adjust height with spacers if it is needed (in this case spacers are needed because Octa is at the bottom and it has vertically oriented inputs).

Do you have a link for the lighting /power bar shown with the Thomann case?

Ah brilliant!

What type of case is that in the first link you sent? I think I need one of those for my Future retro XS

Ahh, brilliant, what cool company Thon is. That an 8u popup would be perfect for me, but there’s no company like that here in the states, and shipping would kill me!

I did find some decent things like that, but they’re all like 5"+ deep under the rails, seems bulky to carry around all that extra space.

Something like this would be perfect for me… but again UK http://www.ebay.com/itm/8U-19-sloped-rack-mount-mixer-Swan-Flight-Case-hex-/180461930163?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Rack_Cases_MJ&hash=item2a045e86b3
