Gator GTSA-MIX222506 - TSA Hard Flight Case for Mixers 22" x 25" x 6" (55.9 x 63.5 x 15.2 cm)
The Gator GTSA-MIX222506 is a rigid flight case from Gator's TSA series, specifically designed for the safe transport of mixing consoles and audio equipment. Its approximate internal dimensions are 63.5 x 55.9 x 15.2 cm (length x width x height), equivalent to mixers up to 22" x 25" x 6" . Constructed from high-strength, ATA-grade molded polyethylene, it offers a virtually indestructible enclosure capable of withstanding the rigors of touring, professional rentals, and frequent travel.
Inside, it incorporates a secure fit system with 1" thick EPS foam (approx. 2.5 cm) and adjustable foam wedges, allowing the compartment to be adapted to the shape of the console to prevent movement, vibration, and impacts during transport. The equipment is completely encased in a continuous padded surface, reducing the risk of damage to potentiometers, faders, connectors, and the screen.
This flight case features TSA-approved locking latches , making it easy to pass through security checkpoints without compromising the protection of your belongings. The latches have surface-mounted impact-deflecting housings and red release triggers for quick and secure opening. The case is completed with black powder-coated metal hardware , a continuous valance for a secure closure, and fixed metal hinges for added durability.
The injection-molded Ergo-Grip handle provides a comfortable grip even when the flight case is loaded, distributing the weight and reducing fatigue when moving it. With approximate external dimensions of 68.6 x 61.0 x 20.3 cm and a weight of around 9.5 kg , the Gator GTSA-MIX222506 offers an optimal balance between robustness and maneuverability, ideal for transport in a van, mobile rack, or aircraft cargo hold.
Thanks to its rigid construction, configurable interior, and ATA rating, this flight case is a professional solution for sound engineers, rental companies, bands, DJs, and venues that need to protect mixers and other similarly sized audio equipment. As long as the equipment does not exceed the case's internal dimensions, it can also be used for processors, control surfaces, or other electronic devices requiring a high level of protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum size of mixing console this flight case supports?
The Gator GTSA-MIX222506 is designed for mixers with maximum approximate dimensions of 63.5 x 55.9 x 15.2 cm (length x width x height), equivalent to 22" x 25" x 6" . Before purchasing, it is recommended to measure your mixer, including connectors and protruding parts, and compare it with the usable internal dimensions.
Is it suitable for air travel?
Yes. This model belongs to Gator's TSA series, incorporates TSA locking latches and an ATA-grade construction, making it well-suited for air transport and for use in the cargo hold with normal care.
Can the interior be adapted to different models?
Yes. The case has an adjustment system with adjustable foam wedges that allow you to adapt the interior space to the contour of the mixer, improving the fit and reducing movement during transport.
Is it completely watertight?
It is not a submersible case. Its design and hardware offer protection against splashes and moderately humid conditions, but it is not intended to be left outdoors in heavy rain or for immersion.
Can I use it for equipment other than a mixing console?
Yes, provided the dimensions and weight of the equipment are compatible with the internal dimensions of the flight case. Many users also use it for other audio devices or electronics of a similar size, taking advantage of the adjustable foam to ensure a secure fit.
Compatibility and fitting recommendations
To ensure an optimal fit, measure your mixer, including rear connectors, side handles, and any protruding elements. Allow a small margin for the foam (a few millimeters) so that the equipment is held securely but without excessive pressure. Use the included foam shims to fill any gaps on the sides or front, and if you change mixer models, reconfigure the position of these shims until you achieve a stable fit.
If the device clearly exceeds 15.2 cm in internal height, or its dimensions on the ground exceed the internal measurements of the case, its use is not recommended, as it could compromise both the correct closure of the lid and the protection against impacts.
Maintenance and care
- Clean the exterior with a slightly damp cloth and neutral products, avoiding harsh solvents.
- Periodically check the condition of the latches, hinges and handle, making sure there is no excessive play.
- Regularly check the condition of the inner foam and replace any parts that may have become deformed with continued use.
- Avoid storing the flight case in places with extreme heat or prolonged humidity to preserve the material and hardware.
