Gator G-TOUR-X32 - Wooden ATA Flight Case with Doghouse for Behringer X32 Digital Mixer
The Gator G-TOUR-X32 is a professional flight case from the G-TOUR series, custom-designed for the large-format version of the Behringer X32 digital mixer . Constructed from 12mm (1/2") plywood with heavy-duty black laminate and reinforced with commercial-grade metal hardware, it offers robust protection against shocks, vibrations, and the wear and tear of touring, rentals, and intensive live performance.
Its interior is specifically molded to the dimensions of the X32 and lined with high-density EVA foam (Ultra-Dur) , which securely holds the mixer and absorbs impacts during transport. The design includes a practical rear doghouse , a raised compartment that allows access to the mixer's connection area and keeps cables and multi-pin hoses connected, speeding up setup and teardown at events and on tour.
The flight case features large wheels , two of which have brakes to immobilize the case on stage or in the truck, as well as multiple ergonomic spring-loaded handles for easy carrying by several people. Recessed twist latches and reinforced metal corners complete a design prepared to meet ATA transport requirements.
With approximate interior dimensions of 90.2 × 53.1 × 20.3 cm and a weight of around 44.5 kg , the Gator G-TOUR-X32 is designed to offer a balanced combination of extreme protection and maneuverability, making it a very reliable transport solution for any Behringer X32 console user who needs to move it regularly between halls, theaters, churches, rental companies, festivals, and mobile productions.

Product benefits
-
Comprehensive console protection: the combination of 12mm wood, EVA foam and reinforced hardware significantly reduces the risk of damage from bumps, minor falls or vibrations during transport.
-
Time savings in setup and teardown: thanks to the doghouse, the cables can remain connected to the X32, so you only need to open the lid, connect the main cable and power it on, reducing changeover times between bands or events.
-
Longer equipment lifespan: Keeping the mixer protected from impacts, shocks and dust helps to extend the life of faders, encoders, connectors and chassis structure.
-
Easy transport on demanding tours: the design with heavy-duty wheels and multiple handles makes it easy to move the set around stages, truck ramps and warehouses, even when working with small teams.
-
Professional image: Using a dedicated flight case for the Behringer X32 conveys an image of care and professionalism to clients, artists, and promoters.
-
Cable management: the rear compartment allows you to keep hoses, multipin connectors and wiring associated with the mixer tidy, avoiding tangles and downtime.
-
Versatility in different environments: ATA-type protection makes it suitable for both local use (rooms, auditoriums, churches) and national or international tours.
Use cases
-
Sound reinforcement and rental companies: daily transport of the Behringer X32 between events, festivals, corporate productions, weddings, orchestras and tours.
-
Concert halls and theaters: protection of the mixer when not in use, safe storage in warehouse and speed in setups for several weekly events.
-
Churches, conference centers and auditoriums: console protection in fixed installations where it is occasionally moved or used for special events.
-
Band tours and mobile productions: integration into touring logistics with other flight cases, ensuring that the main console always travels protected.
-
Sound schools and training centers: additional protection of the X32 against intensive use by students and transfers between classrooms or demonstration events.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this flight case compatible with the Behringer X32 Compact?
No. The Gator G-TOUR-X32 is specifically designed for the large-format Behringer X32 model. Dedicated models from the same G-TOUR series with different interior dimensions are available for the X32 Compact version.
Can it be used with other mixers of a similar size?
The interior is custom-molded for the X32, so compatibility with other models will depend on their dimensions being very similar and the shape of the chassis. In professional applications, it is recommended to use it primarily with the Behringer X32 to ensure the best fit and protection.
Does the doghouse allow you to leave all the cables connected?
The doghouse design facilitates the connection of multi-pin cables, input/output cables, and network cables , allowing many of them to remain connected. Depending on the installation, it may be necessary to disconnect some specific cables before transport, but overall, it significantly speeds up the assembly process.
Is the flight case watertight or completely airtight?
The G-TOUR-X32 offers very good protection against dust and dirt in typical live environments, but it is not designed as an airtight or waterproof enclosure. For direct rain or extreme weather conditions, prolonged exposure should be avoided, and additional protection should be used.
Can it be stacked with other flight cases?
Yes. Its 12mm plywood construction, metal corners, and rack/road case format allow it to be stacked with other flight cases of similar size, always respecting the load and stability recommendations during transport.
Transport and ergonomics
The Gator G-TOUR-X32 is optimized for the daily work of sound engineers and companies. Its heavy-duty casters support the weight of the unit, allowing the console to be moved between stage, backstage, and truck with moderate effort. The spring-loaded handles retract when not in use, reducing the risk of snagging during transport. Weighing approximately 44.5 kg empty, it typically requires two people for safe handling on ramps and stairs, similar to other professional flight cases for consoles of this size.
Protective materials and design
The enclosure is constructed from 12mm plywood with a black laminate coating and aluminum profiles reinforcing all edges. Metal corner protectors help absorb impacts at critical points, such as van corners, ramps, or stage edges. Inside, Ultra-Dur EVA foam provides a combination of rigidity and elasticity that secures the mixer in place and reduces the risk of damage from moderate impacts. Recessed butterfly latches minimize protrusions, improving both safety and durability against bumps and stacking.
