Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What rack equipment fits in the SA-PTR-8U case?

This 8-space case accommodates any standard 19-inch rack equipment including power amplifiers, effects processors, compressors, EQs, wireless receivers, and rack drawers. With 17.5 inches of depth between front and rear rails, it fits most pro audio gear comfortably. The removable rear door provides an additional 2 inches of clearance when needed for deeper equipment or cable management.

How much weight can this rack case safely hold?

While the case itself weighs 41.6 pounds, the heavy-duty plywood construction and steel reinforcement can safely support typical rack loads of 80-100 pounds of equipment. The four steel L-brackets per side and front/rear steel rails distribute weight evenly. Always consider the weight rating of your specific rack equipment and use proper lifting techniques when moving loaded cases.

Do I need this size case for a small mobile DJ setup?

An 8-space case works well for mobile DJs running 2-4 pieces of rack equipment like a power amp, wireless receiver, effects processor, and EQ. If you're only using 1-2 rack units, consider a smaller case for easier transport. For larger mobile rigs with multiple amps and processors, you might need a 12-space or larger case to accommodate your full setup.

What cables and connections work with this case design?

The removable front and rear doors provide full access to all equipment inputs and outputs. Standard XLR, TRS, and power cables connect normally through the open case design. The 20.5-inch depth with rear door installed gives plenty of room for cable management and connections. No special rack cables are required – use your existing audio and power cables.

How does this compare to flight cases for touring?

This pro tour grade case offers excellent protection for regional touring and mobile gigs at a more accessible price point than full flight cases. The plywood construction with steel reinforcement handles typical transport and venue use reliably. For extensive air travel or extreme touring conditions, you might consider upgrading to an ATA-rated flight case with additional foam padding and heavier construction.
