Gator GTSA-MIX192106 - TSA Hard Case for Mixer 19" x 21" x 6" (approx. 48.3 x 53.3 x 15.2 cm)
The Gator GTSA-MIX192106 is a professional hard-shell flight case from Gator's TSA series, specifically designed to protect mixers and compact audio equipment during intensive transport. Its interior is sized for mixers up to approximately 19" x 21" x 6" (53.3 x 48.3 x 15.2 cm), making it ideal for small and medium-sized analog and digital consoles commonly used in live sound reinforcement, churches, corporate events, and by mobile DJs.
The case is made of high-strength molded polyethylene, a virtually indestructible material that withstands impacts, stacking, and the rigors of loading and unloading on tour and at airports. The structure meets ATA transport specifications, with robust hardware and a continuous perimeter valance that ensures a solid and stable seal around the entire perimeter of the flight case, minimizing the ingress of dust and dirt.
Inside, the Gator GTSA-MIX192106 features full padding of 2.5 cm thick high-density EPS foam combined with the Mixer Secure Fit system: a set of adjustable foam wedges that allow you to adapt the usable space to the contours of different mixer models. This keeps the console firmly in place, preventing movement during transport and increasing protection against vibrations, drops, and side impacts.
To facilitate international travel and air shipping, the flight case features TSA-approved latches, one of which is lockable. These latches allow for security inspections without damaging the flight case or its locks, maintaining the integrity of the equipment. The latches have an impact-deflecting system and a red release trigger, designed to better withstand direct blows to the locking area.
Transporting the Gator GTSA-MIX192106 is easy, even with heavier mixers, thanks to its injection-molded Ergo-Grip top handle and two padded metal side handles that allow for a comfortable two-handed grip. Weighing approximately 6.8 kg and with external dimensions of around 57.1 x 52.1 x 20.3 cm, it offers a great balance between robustness and portability, making it ideal for both occasional setups and continuous touring.
Overall, the Gator GTSA-MIX192106 is a high-level protection solution for mixing consoles and other similarly sized audio equipment, designed for sound engineers, DJs, rental companies, and any professional who needs a rigid, secure, and certified flight case for air and road transport.

Interior adaptable to different models: thanks to the adjustable foam wedges, the same flight case can be reused with different mixers of similar size, optimizing the investment of rental companies and technicians who renew their equipment.
-
Air travel security: TSA-approved locks allow you to pass through security checks without breaking locks or forcing the flight case, reducing incidents and delays.
-
Heavy-duty touring use: ATA rating, reinforced hardware and continuous valance are designed to withstand daily loading and unloading, both on the road and at traveling events.
-
Comfortable and controlled transport: the ergonomic top handle and side handles allow you to move the flight case safely and in a balanced way, reducing fatigue and making loading and unloading easier for the team.
-
Professional image in any environment: the clean and discreet black finish integrates easily into stages, churches, corporate spaces and rental setups, projecting an orderly and professional image.
-
Versatility beyond mixers: with a configurable interior, it can also house other equipment such as small digital control surfaces, effects processors or recorders, as long as they respect the internal dimensions, which increases its lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size mixer does the Gator GTSA-MIX192106 support?
The interior is designed for mixing consoles up to approximately 53.3 cm long, 48.3 cm wide and 15.2 cm high (19" x 21" x 6"). Any mixer with equal or smaller dimensions and a similar shape to a standard mixing console will fit, adjusting the foam wedges to ensure good support.
Is it suitable for air travel?

Can I use it with other equipment besides mixers?
Yes, as long as the equipment's dimensions don't exceed the flight case's internal measurements. It's commonly used with control surfaces, small processors, recorders, or live sound units that fit within the case's footprint and height. Adjustable foam wedges help to adjust the interior and prevent movement.
Can the foam interior be rearranged?
The Mixer Secure Fit system includes movable foam wedges that can be repositioned to fit the mixer's contours. It's not pre-cut foam, but rather a system of adjustable pieces that makes it easy to configure the interior cleanly and reusably.
Does the flight case have a lock?
One of the TSA-approved latches incorporates an integrated lock, allowing the flight case to be securely locked. The system is designed to be compatible with airport security checkpoints that use TSA master keys.
