Yep. I just took out a layer of the protective stuff in the mixer section. I was able to get in writing from an Odyssey rep, by way of turntable lab's customer support people (who are excellent and deserve a shout out for this), that they would honour the warranty. I got the black Odyssey black label battle mode coffin. It fits really well now.

16.12.2012		Are you sure? I am not calling you a liar, only suggesting that you might be mistaken. Either the dimensions on the store are not-quite-right, these are two different bags, or something else I haven't quite fathomed. In their ad copy, it's called the Controller Backpack:



They also have a product called the Kontroller Bag, and the thing that one puts their X1/F1 in is called 'TRAKTOR KONTROL BAG' on the English version of NI's site, and 'Kontrol Travel Case' on the DJTT store.

I'd be interested!

15.01.2013		Mine is fine but I did take out a piece from the LEFT of the the mixer's portion of the case.
Nevada Edgette
15.01.2013		Awesome. One more question though! Hows the clearance for the headphone jack in the front? I noticed that the Z2's input is close to the right edge.

17.12.2012		The only sizes I see for the Conterllist bag are for the inner sleeve, which are smaller than the bag itself. The Z2 definitely fits in the bag.
Candy Vardy
17.12.2012		Yes quite sure bud. In the video he even calls it the Controllerist bag, which he does mention is available in the store. (Link shown)

There must be some kind of mix up in the specs on the product info page, as you can see quite clearly in the video, that it can fit the Z2 easily plus more..

16.12.2012		The DJTT Controllerist Backpack will carry the Z2. There was a video recently with His Highness Ean and the bag. I believe he had the Z2 in there along with 2 MF3D's, 1 MFP, and X1 case, headphones etc. Highly recommended.

Thanks! I bought a coffin because I'm flying LGA/SFO/LAX/CDG a lot and wanted to take both my 1200s and the Z2, but the UDG might be a much more practical option for any situation where I don't need my own.

04.12.2012		Has anyone ever tried these? http://store.roadreadycases.com/dyn_prod.php?p=RR12BB

It's like a little bridge for the mixer! The rack ear version is sort of cuter because everything seems to be the same height.

I hope to bridge these:

I should however point out one large problem with this bag. It allows you to pack in so much stuff that you quickly find yourself with a bag that you can barely carry. I put my should out last week. I had:

1 Xone K2 (in case)
1 Kontrol F1 (in neoprene case)
1 15.6" Samsung laptop
1 14" HP laptop
4 2.5" hard disks (in hard carry case)
1 pair HD25s (in bag)
1 pair Klipsch X10s (in case)
1 large Swiss army knife type thing
screwdriver kit
assorted pens and CDS
Enough cables to rewire china
The good lord Jesus Christ (8lb 3oz Talladega Edition)

I could have jammed Maschine in too....
I believe this will do it for me! I hope to fit:

1 x Kontrol Z2 (w/decksaver)
2 x Kontrol F1 (in the NI cases and decksavers)
1 x Maschine or Maschine mkii (in decksaver)
1 x rMBP
1 x iPad
in-ears, ear plugs, cables, charger, and sharpie.

Thanks smittten!

(I am a little worried about how you feel about the bag, though - keep it platonic. Don't let yourself get hurt. Take it slow.)

Have you tried this? The smallest dimension on the Z2 is 109mm (without a case or decksaver or anything like that) vs +/- 76 mm on the controllerist backpack, according to this site's store page for it.
Len Lukawski
04.12.2012		I'm in deep passionate love with this bag...
Barton Rigazio
04.12.2012		Yes, looks like UDG Creator will work, as it has inner dimensions of 420 mm x 325 mm x 165 mm. Let us know how you like the fit!

04.12.2012		Did some research. The Z2 is actually a relatively larger 2 chan mixer compared to others. Here are dimension comparisons (got a little carried away) for many of the major 2 channel mixers (listed in order of decreasing length, all measurements in mm, L x W x H):

L x W x H (in mm)
djm t1: 403 264 109
NI z2: 388 272 109
djm 909: 381 251 108
rane 62: 362 267 102
xone 32: 358 257 89
rane57sl: 343 254 102
rane 61: 338 254 102
rane 56s: 338 254 77
05proIV: 330 263 83
xone 22: 326 240 82
xone 02: 320 262 90
djm 400: 305 222 107
djm 350: 301 218 106
djm 250: 300 240 108

Magma bags already have a link dedicated to Z2 bags (no new bag, just links to which of their current bags will fit): http://www.magma-bags.com/gear-guide/Kontrol-Z2.html

The Gator G-Club CDMX-10 linked above is actually a little small. But the big brother version CDMX-12 should work:
http://www.gatorcases.com/p/123135-1513/g-club-cdmx-12

Any others people recommend? Look at the dimensions of the Z2 (388 mm x 272 mm x 109 mm) and let's get some more ideas! I did not search for any flight cases or hard covered boxed cases as I'm more interested in bags/backpacks...

Hope this helped!

04.12.2012		I've been wondering about a Z2 backpack myself. I know there are some backpacks made for mixers. Haven't done the research yet. Keeping my eye on this thread...

Laurence Calisto
04.12.2012		So to clarify, you're looking for any sort of case or box that'll fit a Z2.

I don't have advice for you I just wasn't entirely sure about the intent of the original question.
