GatorCases Lightweight Molded 6U Rack Case with Heavy Duty Latches, Shallow 14.25" depth (GR-6S)

Bought to hold both wireless mic units and also perfect size to set my Karaoke laptop on top. Matches my other gator box and quality is great.

As far as the rack goes, this is fine. Just be sure you're okay with one this size.I was just starting out as a DJ when I got this, and it served me well until I had to upgrade to a 12U standard rack. Where I am, I couldn't find a place to sell this (not even Craigslist), so I ended up donating it to a school's rummage sale....not my happiest moment.Again, if you think this all you need, get it; the rack itself is a great product. Just think ahead if you're a DJ. Me, I have two 1U mixers, a 1U power strip, a 2U lighting controller, a 1U rack, a 1U decibel meter, and some other stuff. I only expected I'd have about four or five of those things when I started and had this rack, so now I regret buying it.Like I said, though, NO problems with the rack itself.One little note--the metal strips where the screws are is actually separate from the rack itself, so you need to keep a few screws in even when no equipment is in there. This is not a problem once there is equipment in it, though.

Have used them for several gigs already and have no complaints. Far lighter and more compact than my previous cases and a good value for the money. I bought two and the only small complaint I have is that they don't "lock" really well. They will slide off each other easily, especially on an angle (I use them on an amp stand set high), so I use some clamps. But I think a little weather stripping in the grooves of the underside of the top one will fix that. Just remember to loosen all the screws on the rack rails to align things when you put your first piece of gear in there and all will be well afterwards. They are not aligned from the factory and I think that throws people off from the reviews I've read around the net. But all in all it works well and has improved my weekly gear hauling woes quite a bit.

Excellent!!!

Bought this for my digital mixer. Rock solid and looks great!

My prior experience with the Lightweight ATA line of Gator cases is limited to one Molded Slant-Top Console Rack Case (10U Top and 8U Side - still in production by Gator) that housed the full p.a. system for the traveling band of which I was a member. After getting constantly banged in and out of the back of whatever SUV and lugged to assorted rehearsal spaces and venues, after thousands of miles and 4+ years of abuse, aside from a couple latches that were “loose but still functional” and a side handle that had to be epoxied in place to prevent slippage, that unit was still like new and fully functional.Based on that positive experience, I chose this Gator case for the p.a. system in my current band’s rehearsal space, and upon getting it loaded and installed, I was instantly pleased – it’s a VERY nice piece of gear. If you are going to be running sound in “combat conditions” OR plan on having your gear handled by possibly careless staff members, you may want something a bit heavier, but for medium to heavy use by people who will “carefully set down” rather than “drop” a rack case, this unit truly fills the bill.

I have several gator products including other rack cases. I'm not at all impressed with these. I bought two of them to stack.First issue is the threaded part of the case is just a metal strip that you have to use to "sandwich" your device to the case. It is NOT attached to the case at all. Which means if you have a 6U device that needs to go in this, it will be very difficult unless you use a second person with hands small enough to hold the strip in place form the rear, or you secure it in place somehow. You cannot use the screws that hold them in place during shipping as they use space needed to utilize the whole 6U. If this were the only issue, I'd rate them much higher.Second issue is the gasket on the front and rear panels were falling out. I have to glue them in place. We'll see how long that lasts as the covers will be taken on and off over and over.Third issue is they do not stack very well. There are protrusions on top and bottom that line up. The top of one case is supposed to fit in the bottom of the other case, but they barely make contact. I'll likely have to bungee them together so the one on top doesn't just slide off.Fourth issue is the washers sent with the mounting screws are very thin plastic. The screw will cut through it easily when tightening.Even though I was able to mount the gear, I am still contemplating sending them back as they are not stable when stacked.
