Gator GTSA-MIX203006 - TSA Rigid Flightcase for Mixer 20" x 30" (50.8 x 76.2 x 15.2 cm)
The Gator GTSA-MIX203006 flight case is a professional hard case specifically designed to safely transport mixing consoles up to approximately 20" x 30" x 6" (76.2 x 50.8 x 15.2 cm). Its ATA-grade molded polyethylene construction provides exceptional protection against bumps, drops, and the rigors of touring, rental, and professional production. It's a rugged solution for sound engineers, rental companies, DJs, and event companies that need to protect their mixing consoles during both ground and air transport.
The rigid polyethylene shell is combined with a 1" (approx. 2.54 cm) thick high-density EPS foam interior and a secure fit system using adjustable foam wedges. This system allows the interior to be adapted to different mixer models, keeping the mixer firmly in place and cushioned against vibrations and sudden movements. This minimizes the risk of damage to potentiometers, faders, and connectors during transport.
The GTSA-MIX203006 features TSA-approved locking latches, ideal for air travel where luggage may be inspected without compromising the security of its contents. The injection-molded Ergo-Grip handle ensures a comfortable and stable grip, even with the weight of the mixer, while the black powder-coated hardware and continuous valance guarantee a secure and robust closure around the perimeter of the case.
With approximate interior dimensions of 76.2 x 50.8 x 15.2 cm and exterior dimensions of 81.3 x 58.4 x 20.3 cm, and a weight of approximately 9.5 kg, this flight case offers a balance between robustness and manageability. Its design is intended to accommodate numerous 20" x 30" mixing consoles, providing a high level of protection in a format suitable for both touring and professional environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which mixing consoles are compatible with the Gator GTSA-MIX203006?
This flight case is designed for mixing consoles with approximate dimensions up to 76.2 x 50.8 x 15.2 cm (20" x 30" x 6"). Thanks to the adjustable foam wedge system, it can accommodate numerous mixer models from different manufacturers that fit within that size range.
Is the case approved for air travel?
Yes, the GTSA-MIX203006 model features TSA-approved locks, suitable for air travel. This facilitates baggage inspection at airports without the need to break the lock or damage the case.
Does it offer protection against moisture?
The flight case is constructed with a rigid shell and continuous valance that helps protect against splashes and light moisture. However, it is not designed to be completely watertight or submersible, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain or extreme water conditions should be avoided.
Can the inner foam wedges be removed or replaced?
Yes, the secure adjustment system allows you to position and move the foam wedges to adapt them to the shape of each mixing console, improving the fit and preventing the equipment from moving during transport.
Is it suitable for daily use on tours and for rentals?
Due to its construction in ATA grade polyethylene, its robust fittings and the high density foam interior, the GTSA-MIX203006 is especially suitable for intensive use, both on tours and in rental and professional production companies.
Compatibility and usage recommendations
To ensure a proper fit, it is recommended to measure the mixer (length, width, and height including connectors) and compare it to the usable interior dimensions of approximately 76.2 x 50.8 x 15.2 cm. It is important to consider the raised areas of the top controls and connectors so that the lid closes without excessive pressure. Proper use of the internal foam shims will center the mixer within the case and absorb lateral and vertical impacts.
In touring and rental environments, it is advisable to clearly label the flight case and, if necessary, incorporate additional foam in critical areas to accommodate mixers with non-standard shapes. The GTSA-MIX203006's design facilitates its integration into racks, transport vehicles, and storage alongside other ATA-format cases.
