Are there any flight cases that hold a mixer + X1?
Are there any flight cases that hold a mixer + X1? Posted on: 19.04.2011 by Clyde Gundelach i'm trying to figure out a way to get everything mobile, and the biggest component that is lacking some kind of storage is for the X1. i have the gig bag, but it only goes so far. there seems to be no way for me to find a 12" mixer + X1 into a flight case. i thought about getting a 19" mixer flight case and just foaming it up to accomodate the X1, but i am seeking better options.any ideas? | |

| Leeanna Ayla 26.12.2011 | Does anybody have a source for the hardware and aluminium parts? |
| Marva Cupid 26.12.2011 | Make one. It's not that hard. |
| Ola Fornwalt 26.12.2011 | I happen to be blessed witha local road case company. Hot Rod Road Cases out of Trumensburg NY, I'd touch base with the local music shops and clubs and see if they could recomend a builder |
| Londa Tiedge 26.12.2011 | Hey guys. new here, first post. Just wanted to show how I use my x1 with the Cases. Hope This help someone out their! =) Best of wishes to all from Puerto Rico! |

| Shantae Mettle 08.09.2011 | I'm mid build on something similar. I'm left handed so will putting my X1 on the left, ddm on the right, my laptop has its own customised case with PS and HD and soundcard built in, also going in the mixer case is my radio mic. I always do this, no point spending on equipement and then not investing on a flight case to look after your goodies as you go out gigging. |

| Lakeshia Talavera 07.09.2011 | Sorry to drag up an old(ish) thread. Had a bit of spare time over the last week, and came up with this. |

| Marcellus Androski 12.08.2011 | This is a very similar issue to what I've been believeing about. Only main (STUPID) question is can you buy a non-glide style coffin and just use your own laptop stand? (They slide under your mixer, right???) .........perhaps I should just start a thread of my own. |

| Birgit Myrda 12.08.2011 | Im sorry guys, but MODDING an original case is possibile but MAKING one is a tough job, especially for all the parts that go into a flight case (quality one). So far the best thing for me is this case for my Ecler 4.0, it has space for A8 and cabling inside, I also thought of crafting some usb ports on the back of it to have it all nice and clean. In the end having this type of setup is the best for being both mobile and club since the x1s have their own cases. |
| Loralee Erban 11.08.2011 | Id say ill end up doing a custom one eventually, but id hate the thought of my setup being fixed, the 4 components my setups consists of can move aroung and be put anywhere, so there is no fixed layout, would merely just be for transport which I believe a bag is easier... |
| Detra Girardier 10.08.2011 | I know there are a fair number of companies out there that do custom flight cases |
| Loralee Erban 10.08.2011 | Not really, over here a sheet of 4 ft by 8 ft ply which. Is 18mm works out about 20 euro, so with screws and all prob 40 euro, just takes time get an upholster to cover it for like a 10er and for 50 quid you have a one of a kind case. If you have any carpenter friends they might help, even lend you power tools. |
| Patience Conliffe 10.08.2011 | @dj stifffy. hmmm, i am not sure if it would be that easy. Maybe if you are a prof. craftsman. And isn t it more expensive if you build it by yourself? |
| Loralee Erban 10.08.2011 | Why not make your own, custom cases are easy to make with some mdf, a saw some screws,filler and spray paint.. |
| Patience Conliffe 10.08.2011 | @khemfusion this could work!!! and looks dope for sure. But get sure, contact the guys from zomo and ask them if the x1 would fit! and the mixer, too Please post a picture when u got it |
| Birgit Myrda 10.08.2011 | Could it do? I measured that the x1 + bag is exactly the size of a cd, in the middle you place a 12" mixer with space for A8 ecc....... Just a thought... |
| Armando Chrystal 24.04.2011 | yea did anyone find anything that could hold djm 800 + 2 X1's & the audio 8 somewhere? |
| Tatum Ansaldo 20.04.2011 | this is my current solution, which I posted a couple of weeks ago. This would involve me getting the Odyssey Glide Style coffin case. and of course a novation twitch lol. |
| Nguyet Shedenhelm 20.04.2011 | I have been searching for this same exact thing |
| Clyde Gundelach 19.04.2011 | i'm looking for something similar to this if i had to buy individual flight cases for my decks but this mount only does 12" (and 10" according to the pic). If there was a fully adjustable "bridge" like this one that goes out to as much as 19", i would be all over it. since a mixer + x1 does not equal 19" in width, it would be nice for it to be fully adjustable to have that snug fit. i'm not exactly ready to put down money on a 19" case for my 12" mixer to find out that it wont fit and look properly (e.g. too much foam). |
