Standard 19-inch Rackmount Cases for AV & Production
Standard 19-inch rackmount cases provide essential protection and portability for sensitive electronic equipment used in live sound, theatre, and broadcast production. These cases are engineered to house a wide array of professional gear, including amplifiers, signal processors, wireless microphone receivers, network switches, and control systems, ensuring their integrity during transport and operation. Designed for the rigours of touring and installation, these cases feature heavy-duty construction from materials such as 9mm laminated plywood, reinforced with double-angle aluminium extrusions. Key features often include padlockable latches, spring-return handles, and robust steel hardware, all contributing to secure enclosure and ease of handling. Many models are equipped with front and rear lids, some foam-lined, offering comprehensive protection from impacts and environmental factors. For production managers, AV technicians, and live sound engineers, the utility of these standard rack cases extends to their internal configurations. Dual rack strips with included cage nuts facilitate flexible and secure mounting of equipment. Rack depths vary, accommodating different component sizes, while models with heavy-duty castors enhance mobility, crucial for rapid setup and teardown at various venues. Brands like Encore and Go Case offer a range of options from 2U up to 24U, providing solutions for diverse equipment loads. Some innovative designs, such as the Encore Over and Under Rack Mount Cases, feature slide-away doors to eliminate lost lids and streamline access, further enhancing operational efficiency for professionals requiring quick deployment and secure storage.
