Heavy-duty 4-inch steel casters make moving fully loaded racks manageable, even when you're dealing with power amplifiers and multiple pieces of gear. The 3/8" plywood construction with laminated exterior strikes the right balance between protection and weight at 71.7 pounds empty.

Front and rear removable doors give you full access to your equipment for connections and adjustments. Steel rack rails front and rear provide secure 19" standard mounting, while dual steel link locks on both doors keep your gear secure during transport. The case measures 34.5" tall with casters and offers 22" of depth from rail to back with the rear door on, accommodating most rack-mount equipment including deep power amplifiers.

This case works for band rigs heading out on tour, mobile DJ setups moving between venues, or installed systems where equipment needs protection from dust and tampering. The dual spring-loaded handles and four steel L-brackets per side ensure it can handle the weight of fully loaded amplifier racks.

The case comes ready to load with front and rear rack rails installed. Seismic Audio backs this road case with solid construction and reliable shipping to get your mobile rig protected.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How much rack equipment can this case safely transport?

The SA-PTR-16UC holds 16 rack units and can handle the weight of multiple power amplifiers, processors, and effects units. The 3/8" plywood construction with steel reinforcement brackets supports heavy loads, while the heavy-duty casters make transport manageable even when fully loaded with dense equipment like multi-channel amplifiers.

Will my power amplifiers fit with proper ventilation space?

Yes, the case provides 22" of depth from rail to back with the rear door installed, accommodating most rack-mount amplifiers including deep units. The removable front and rear doors allow for proper cable management and airflow when needed, while the 17.5" front-to-rear rail spacing meets standard rack specifications.

What cables do I need to connect equipment inside this rack case?

You'll need standard rack power distribution and audio cables based on your specific equipment. The case provides access through removable front and rear doors for XLR, TRS, and power connections. Many users install rack-mount power strips and patch panels to organize connections and reduce setup time at venues.

Is this case suitable for permanent installation or just transport?

This road case works well for both transport and semi-permanent installation where equipment protection is needed. The locking doors provide security in venues, schools, or churches, while the casters allow easy repositioning. The professional appearance fits both mobile and installed sound system applications.

How does this compare to a 12-space rack case for mobile DJ use?

The 16-space case provides room for larger mobile setups including multiple amplifiers, wireless receivers, and processing gear. If you're running just a mixer, single amplifier, and basic processing, a 12-space case saves weight and space. Choose the 16-space if you need room for expansion or run multiple amplifier channels for larger venues.
