SALWR3S - Lightweight 3 Space Compact ABS Rack Case - 3U PA DJ Shallow Rack Case
The SALWR3S is built for mobile performers, DJs, and sound engineers who need reliable protection for their 3-space rack gear without the bulk of traditional flight cases. This compact ABS rack case keeps wireless mic receivers, preamps, and effects units secure while staying light enough for frequent transport.
At just 8 inches deep, this shallow rack case is specifically designed for gear that doesn't need full-depth mounting space. The lightweight polyethylene construction with aluminum rails provides solid protection while keeping your load manageable during setup and teardown.
The case features standard 19-inch mounting rails with 3U of space (5.25 inches of vertical mounting room). Front-to-rear rail distance measures exactly 8 inches, making it ideal for wireless microphone systems, small mixers, and signal processors. Heavy-duty butterfly latches secure both front and rear removable doors, with one door including a convenient screen pocket for cable storage.
Perfect for mobile DJs working clubs and private events, worship teams managing wireless mic systems, or any performer who needs to rack-mount compact gear. The dual spring handles on each side make transport comfortable, while the shallow design fits easily in most vehicles alongside other PA equipment.
The case includes all necessary rack screws and washers for immediate installation. Removable front and rear doors provide full access to your gear for connections and adjustments during setup.
Seismic Audio backs the SALWR3S with a one-year warranty and ships ready to protect your investment from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of equipment fits in this 8-inch deep rack case?
This shallow rack case is perfect for wireless microphone receivers, small preamps, effects processors, and compact mixers that don't require full-depth mounting. The 8-inch rail-to-rail distance accommodates most standard rack gear except full-size power amplifiers and deep mixing consoles. Check your equipment's depth specifications to ensure compatibility.
How much does this rack case weigh and is it suitable for frequent transport?
The SALWR3S uses lightweight polyethylene construction specifically designed for mobile applications. The dual spring handles on each side make it comfortable to carry, and the compact size fits easily in vehicles alongside other PA equipment. The shallow design significantly reduces weight compared to full-depth 3U cases while maintaining protection.
Do the doors need to stay on during use or can I remove them for ventilation?
Both front and rear doors are completely removable, giving you flexibility based on your setup needs. You can remove the rear door for better ventilation and cable access while keeping the front door on for protection, or remove both doors entirely during use. The doors reattach quickly with the butterfly latches when you need to transport the case.
Will this case protect my gear during vehicle transport and setup?
Yes, the heavy-duty butterfly latches and polyethylene construction provide solid protection against bumps and impacts during transport. The aluminum rails maintain structural integrity even with frequent loading and unloading. While not flight-case rugged, it offers excellent protection for ground transport and normal venue use.
What hardware comes included and do I need to buy additional mounting screws?
The SALWR3S includes all necessary rack screws and washers for immediate installation of your equipment. You won't need to purchase additional hardware unless you're mounting unusually deep units that require longer screws. One door also features an internal screen pocket for storing spare screws or small cables.
