Gator GTSA-MIX192108 - TSA Rigid Flightcase for Mixer 19" x 21" (48.2 x 53.3 x 20.3 cm)
The Gator GTSA-MIX192108 is a rigid, molded flight case from the GTSA series designed to safely transport mixing consoles and equipment up to 19" x 21" x 8" . Its military-grade molded polyethylene outer shell offers exceptional resistance to shocks, stacking, vibrations, and the demands of professional transport, making it an ideal solution for touring, rental companies, sound engineers, and venues that require maximum protection for their consoles.
Inside, the GTSA-MIX192108 incorporates 1" thick EPS foam combined with a Secure Fit system using adjustable foam wedges , allowing the recess to be adapted to the shape and dimensions of each mixer. This way, the console is firmly immobilized and protected against lateral impacts, preventing movement that could damage connectors, potentiometers, or the control surface. Its approximate interior dimensions are 53.3 x 48.3 x 20.3 cm (length x width x height), equivalent to 21" x 19" x 8".
The GTSA series is optimized for air and ground transport: the case includes two TSA-approved latches (one locking), mounted in a shock-deflecting housing that helps dissipate impact energy away from the main body of the case. The injection-molded Ergo-Grip handle provides a comfortable grip even when the case is loaded, while the continuous perimeter skirt and black powder-coated screws improve splash sealing and provide a professional look.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size mixer does the GTSA-MIX192108 support?
It is designed for equipment with a footprint of up to 19" x 21" x 8" , which is approximately 53.3 x 48.3 x 20.3 cm (internal length x width x height). Any table or equipment that does not exceed these dimensions and allows a small margin for the foam will be compatible.
Is it only valid for mixing consoles?
Not necessarily. Although designed for mixers, it can also be used as a hard case for other equipment (processors, interfaces, small racks without ears, controllers, etc.) as long as they respect the internal dimensions.
Is an ATA flight case suitable for airplanes?
Yes. It's part of Gator's TSA/ATA series, featuring TSA-approved closures , a heavy-duty molded polyethylene shell, and a design geared towards professional air and ground transportation.
Do the locks come with a key?
One of the TSA locks includes a key-operated locking system suitable for TSA airport inspections. (The specific type of key/lock may vary depending on the batch and distributor.)
Does it protect against the rain?
The polyethylene casing is resistant to splashes and light rain . It is not a waterproof case, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain or immersion in water is not recommended.
