PROEL CR104BLKM - 4U 19" Rack Case with 33 cm Depth
The PROEL CR104BLKM is the ultimate solution for audio, lighting, and stage technician professionals seeking the perfect balance of portability and extreme protection. This 4U rack -mount flight case has been meticulously designed to house 19-inch equipment with an installation depth of up to 33 centimeters . Its construction is based on a robust 5mm thick, 5-ply phenolic plywood (marine grade) structure, a material renowned for its superior resistance to humidity and temperature changes compared to conventional particleboard.
Your equipment's safety is guaranteed thanks to a high-density black laminate coating that provides an exceptional barrier against scratches, impacts, and water splashes, maintaining a pristine, professional appearance even after intensive touring. Every detail of the hardware has been selected to withstand the rigors of live performance: it features steel ball-reinforced corners that disperse impact energy, robust aluminum profiles that maintain structural integrity, and galvanized steel butterfly latches that ensure the lids remain sealed during transport. Furthermore, its black-painted interior and standard rack rails facilitate a clean and organized installation of your processors, wireless receivers, or shallow-depth power amplifiers.

Benefits for the professional user
The main benefit of the PROEL CR104BLKM is peace of mind. By using marine-grade plywood, you get a case that better withstands the humidity and condensation typical of outdoor stages or cold storage, protecting the sensitive electronics inside. Its 33 cm depth is strategic: it eliminates the dead space and unnecessary bulk of traditional 45 cm racks, making your setup more compact, lighter, and easier to handle in tight spaces or small car trunks. Furthermore, the industrial-grade rubber feet ensure the rack remains stable and dampen vibrations during equipment operation.
Ideal use cases
-
Wireless microphone systems: Perfect for mounting microphone receivers (usually shallow depth) along with an antenna distributor in one compact unit.
-
Effects and dynamics processors: Ideal for compressors, equalizers, noise gates or multi-effects processors in mobile studios or PA racks.
-
DJ and playback equipment: Secure housing for rack-mounted dual CD players, line mixers, or controllers.
-
Fixed or mobile installations: Excellent for modern Class D power stages (which are usually less deep), voltage conditioners or patch bays.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the actual useful depth for the equipment?
The case offers a mounting depth of 33 cm (330 mm) . It is important to verify that your equipment plus the rear cabling does not exceed this measurement.

-
Does it come with the screws to mount the equipment?
Yes, the product includes the necessary hardware kit (screws, washers and cage nuts) to occupy all 4 rack units.
-
How much does the empty case weigh?
The approximate weight of the empty case is 9.90 kg , which makes it quite manageable for a wooden construction.
