Gator G-TOURQU24 - ATA Wooden Flight Case with Doghouse for Allen & Heath QU-24 Mixer
The Gator G-TOURQU24 is a professional flight case from the Gator G-TOUR series, custom-designed for the Allen & Heath QU-24 / QU24 digital mixer. Its 1/2" (approx. 12.7 mm) plywood construction and Ultra-Dur EVA foam interior provide touring-grade protection against shocks, vibrations, and the daily wear and tear of touring, events, and rental work. It's designed for those who need a robust, reliable case with all the features required for live performance.
The design includes an integrated rear doghouse , allowing you to keep the multipin snake or input/output cabling connected while the mixer remains protected inside the case. This greatly simplifies setup and teardown at each gig: simply open the front panel, reveal the control surface, and find the entire rear patchbay already set up in the doghouse. The interior has been specifically sized to fit the QU-24, with approximate usable dimensions of 63.5 x 49.7 x 18.9 cm (L x W x H), providing a snug and stable fit.
On the exterior, the G-TOURQU24 features commercial-grade, plated metal hardware , twist latches , and heavy-duty casters . The case rests on a set of four robust wheels, two of which have brakes , facilitating movement even when the table is loaded inside. The ATA-style latching system keeps the lids securely locked during transport, while the recessed handles and hardware reduce impact points and snags when loading into vans or trucks. The entire unit is finished in black , with approximate external dimensions of 71.2 x 70.8 x 30.1 cm and a weight of approximately 29 kg , suitable for a flight case in this category.
Although designed as a custom flight case for the Allen & Heath QU-24, the G-TOURQU24 can also be used with mixers of similar dimensions , provided they respect the available interior space and control layout. This makes it a very attractive option for both QU-24 owners and rental companies looking for a robust case for mixers with a comparable footprint, while maintaining a professional level of protection and a clean, consistent aesthetic with other Gator G-TOUR flight cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this flight case exclusively for Allen & Heath QU-24?
It is custom-designed for the QU-24 and guarantees the best fit with this model. However, it can be used with other mixers of similar dimensions, always ensuring that the physical size of the console fits within the approximate internal dimensions of 63.5 x 49.7 x 18.9 cm .
What exactly is a “doghouse”?
The doghouse is a raised compartment at the rear of the case that covers and protects the mixer's connections (inputs, outputs, multipin, etc.). It allows you to leave the multipin snake or rear patch cable connected and close the top, making setup and teardown much faster and tidier.
Does it include wheels or do I have to buy them separately?
The G-TOURQU24 is supplied with 4 heavy-duty wheels already mounted , 2 of which incorporate brakes to lock the case when necessary.
Do the locks have keys?
The flight case uses robust twist latch closures , but it is not designed as a lockable case . The priority is quick and secure closure in live performance and touring environments.
Can it be used as packaging for parcel shipments?
This case is designed for professional transport and tours (truck, van, handling by technicians). Although very durable, it does not replace the specific packaging systems required by some shipping companies for automated deliveries, where drops and impacts can be very severe.
