Bennett-

Thank you for the review! I am planning on picking up 2 of their 18 space racks in the very near future.

You mentioned that you got the pull over type for your amp rack. I'd like to know your thoughts on this. I hadn't considered this because I will be using the top of the rack to set my mixer on occasionally and will like to put the covers back on the rack. Can you tell me why you choose this style?

Second, would you or anyone recommend seriously that we step up to the shock mounted?

I am also liking the 4 drawer toolcase. I assume that will be my next case purchase.

Sorry, I should have been clearer about my uses. The 18U pullovers are for FOH effects and EQ. I've then got a road trunk for power and speaker cables, a 4-drawer toolbox to store my kit, and a pair of 14U castered shock racks for amplifiers. I went with shock all around because, while I'm not entirely convinced it's going to do me any good, for the extra $10... why not? Now I've got that edge

BTW, the 4-drawer toolbox is an upgrade from this: http://www.skbcases.com/product/pro_audio/mic_equip/skb-1713 .html so I'm in heaven. Plus, I have a new table for my laptop.

I was just looking at that site.

They have the best price on xlr turn arounds too.
Ordered a dozen of each, I will post on their quality after I get them.

They work fine.  Just make sure you keep the screws tight, but that's true for anything I guess.  I'd say they're comparable to the other stuff out there, such as Hosa adapters.

BTW, what are you going to do with a dozen of each?  I have 6 of each, and I don't think I've ever used more than 4 of any one kind at a time.  They're nice to have though.

I'll put in another endorsement for EWI cases. I just received my second case from Mark and Liz (I already have the mic case). I got the 10.5" deep 4 space one on closeout for $65. I had been looking for another rack case for my monitor processing equipment on ebay but I couldn't find anything for under $100 that wasn't crap. For $65 the EWI is easily worth double that. Very well constructed like everyone says. Mine now has 2 compressors and an eq in the front, and a power strip and input output panels on the back rails (tight fit!) It's way better then the old case I made of pine. That one now houses my wireless setup.


New rack. The EWI one is on the bottom with the Eq and comps. It replaced the one on top which now houses 2 wireless mic recievers and associated equipment. Also a back view and pic of the lid.

we just ordered the 4 drawer work/toolbox too.
so cheap.

unbelievable.

Ain't it? Every time I go for a piece of gear I breathe a sigh of relief.

So I just had Liz ship some new racks to me... They came in on the day that was promised!  I threw a bunch of amps in them, took about 6 hours to wire them up and now I have two extremely heavy amp racks that will pack easier in my trailer and cut out setup times down a little.

I can't wait to get some I-Techs however the Camcos look like a viable option for me too.

I dont think road ready makes these cases..  I had a couple cases made from a company in california - I believe they are OEM'd from road ready. (at least they look it).. You standard dual 575 moving  head case. anyways they used aluminum rivets on the corner.. needless to say the cases came back from the first time beeing on a truck with no corners on.

That photo link doesn't work any more. I think these are what it was supposed to point to, though:
