Gator G-TOUR-GRC12X12 - Flightcase rack console 12U top + 12U front with wheels
The Gator G-TOUR-GRC12X12 is an ATA-style console flight case designed for professional live sound setups, combining a console on top and 19" equipment below. It offers 12 rack units (12U) in the angled top section and an additional 12U in the lower front section , making it a true rolling stage rack unit for FOH, monitors, or mobile PA systems.
The case is constructed from 9mm plywood with a laminated exterior , designed to withstand the rigors of touring, rentals, and everyday use. It features commercial-grade coated hardware , reinforced metal ball corners , and a tongue-and-groove extruded aluminum valance that ensures a secure closure and perfect alignment between the lid and body. The recessed red twist locks and spring-loaded handles with rubber grips are a classic feature of the G-Tour series, built for heavy-duty use.
At the top, the G-TOUR-GRC12X12 offers a fixed, angled 12U rack ideal for 19" mixing consoles and control processors, such as the Allen & Heath MixWizard or mixers the size of the Yamaha 01V . The lower section provides an additional 12U of front rack space for power amplifiers, processors, wireless systems, signal distribution, or power supplies. Front and rear 3.2mm thick rack rails ensure secure mounting of all equipment and facilitate the use of power strips, patch cables, or rear trays.
The design incorporates removable top and front covers and a rear access door , as well as a rear cable pass-through , allowing for convenient system wiring and maintenance without having to disassemble the entire rack. The usable rack depth to the rear cover is approximately 23.75 inches (about 60.3 cm ), sufficient for the vast majority of 19-inch rack units used in touring.
For transport, the flight case features four 4" wheels ( approximately 10.2 cm in diameter), two of which include brakes for secure positioning at FOH or on stage. The unit moves easily thanks to the spring-loaded, recessed handles , and its robust construction allows for confident stacking and loading into backline vans and trucks. With approximate external dimensions of 95.3 x 72.4 x 52.7 cm (length x width x height) and a weight of approximately 33.5 kg , the G-TOUR-GRC12X12 balances capacity, protection, and maneuverability.
In addition, the case features a gasket on the lid that provides splash and dust resistance (it is not airtight), which is especially useful on stages and in loading areas. Overall, it's a very complete solution for setting up a professional audio control station on wheels, with all the equipment consolidated into a single flight case.
