Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What size equipment fits in this 8U rack case?

The SALWR8M accommodates any standard 19-inch rack-mountable equipment up to 12 inches deep. This includes wireless microphone receivers, preamps, audio interfaces, small mixers, and effects processors. The 8U height provides 14 inches of vertical mounting space, enough for eight single-space units or fewer larger pieces.

Is this rack case suitable for touring and transport?

Yes, the lightweight ABS construction with aluminum rails provides excellent protection during transport while keeping weight manageable. The dual spring-loaded handles and butterfly latches secure your gear, and the compact 16-inch height fits easily in most vehicles. However, for heavy touring, consider upgrading to a flight case with foam interior.

What's the difference between this mid-depth case and a full-depth rack?

This 12-inch deep case is designed for smaller rack gear like wireless receivers and preamps, making it lighter and more portable than full-depth racks. Full-depth cases (typically 18+ inches) accommodate larger equipment like power amplifiers and full-size mixers but are significantly heavier and bulkier to transport.

Do I need any additional hardware to mount my equipment?

All necessary mounting screws and washers are included with the case. You'll have everything needed to install standard 19-inch rack equipment immediately. The aluminum rails are pre-threaded with standard rack mounting holes spaced at industry-standard intervals.

How much equipment can I realistically fit in 8 rack spaces?

Eight single-space units fill the case completely, but many users prefer 4-6 units to allow airflow and easier cable management. Popular combinations include 2-4 wireless receivers, a preamp, and a small mixer, or an audio interface with effects processors. Leave at least one space between heat-generating units for ventilation.
