Gator G-TOURM32RNDH - ATA Flightcase with custom interior and wheels for Midas M32R
The Gator G-TOURM32RNDH is a professional flight case from the G-TOUR series, custom-designed for the Midas M32R / M32R Live mixing console. This non-doghouse model features a custom-fitted foam interior and integrated tilt-and-go wheels , making it ideal for touring, rental companies, and technicians who require maximum protection in a manageable, ready-to-use format.
The structure is made of 9mm plywood covered with high-strength black laminate , combining robustness with a professional finish. The black laminate interior incorporates EVA foam blocks that firmly support the console, absorb impacts, and simultaneously allow space for ventilation of the fan and the underside of the table , preventing overheating during use. The shallow base allows the M32R to be used directly in the flight case by removing only the top panel, without needing to remove the entire table.
At the rear, the G-TOURM32RNDH offers approximately 4 inches (about 10 cm) of storage space behind the mixer. This recess is ideal for storing power cables, short hoses, knobs, or small accessories, keeping the entire mixing system neat and organized. This makes setup and teardown for each gig faster and cleaner.
As for hardware, it features recessed, rotating butterfly latches with Gator's signature red finish, ready for padlocks to increase equipment security. Spring-loaded handles with rubber grips facilitate manual lifting, while metal spherical corners reinforce the structure against impacts and allow for safe stacking with other flight cases.
For mobility, the flight case incorporates integrated wheels and a tow handle , allowing the unit to be tilted and easily moved around stages, warehouses, or airports. The case weighs approximately 18.2 kg , consistent with its ATA construction using 9 mm thick wood, high-density foam, and heavy-duty hardware. The approximate internal dimensions are 61.7 x 48.3 x 22.4 cm (length x width x height), while the external dimensions are approximately 77.7 x 55.6 x 33.3 cm , providing a perfect fit for the M32R while maintaining a reasonable size for transport.
Thanks to its combination of ATA protection, custom interior for Midas M32R, shallow base and integrated wheels , the Gator G-TOURM32RNDH is a benchmark solution for professional tours, rental companies, churches, theaters, auditoriums and any environment where the highest level of safety and practicality in handling the console is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which mixer models is this flight case designed for?
The G-TOURM32RNDH is specifically designed for the Midas M32R and equivalent M32R format versions, such as the M32R Live, provided they maintain the same dimensions and chassis layout.
What does it mean that it's a "doghouse-less" flight case?
A non-doghouse design means it doesn't include the classic raised rear "box" to hide and protect the connections. Instead, it offers direct access and rear space for cabling, simplifying assembly and quick maintenance while maintaining a very high level of protection.
Can the table be used inside the flight case?
Yes. The shallow base is designed so you can use the M32R directly in the case, removing only the top cover. This reduces the risk of drops when moving the console in and out of the case.
Does the flight case include wheels?
Yes. It includes wheels and a "tilt & go" type tow handle , which allow you to tilt the case and move it comfortably without the need for an additional trolley.
Does the interior allow for sufficient ventilation of the M32R?
The EVA foam blocks are designed to leave space around the console, especially in the lower area, facilitating fan ventilation and reducing the risk of overheating during use.
Can the closures be secured with a padlock?
The recessed butterfly locks are padlockable , so you can add your own padlocks to increase the security of the equipment during transport or in shared storage.
Usage and configuration recommendations
- Position the M32R following the orientation suggested by the foam blocks, making sure the back is aligned with the cable storage area.
- Use the 4" space behind the console for cables and lightweight accessories, avoiding overloading the lid with excessive weight.
- Periodically check the tightness of the screws on the handles, corners and latches, especially if the case is used on intensive tours.
- When loading into a vehicle, stack the flight case respecting the capacity of the corner protectors and avoiding direct impacts on the hardware.
- During use, make sure the wheels are locked or supported stably to prevent unwanted movement.
Maintenance and care
- Clean the laminated exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth and neutral soap, avoiding harsh solvents.
- Check the condition of the inner foam and replace or relocate the blocks if they become deformed over time to maintain a good fit of the table.
- Do not expose the flight case to extreme humidity or prolonged direct heat (e.g., in direct sunlight outdoors) to preserve the laminate and adhesives.
- Occasionally lubricate the wheels and check that they rotate freely, removing any dirt or debris that may hinder their movement.
