Cases & Transport Accessories: What to Know

Cases and transport gear protect your investment when you're moving between gigs, studios, or storage. DJs need coffin cases for turntables and mixers. Producers need rack cases for interfaces and outboard gear. Mobile setups require carts that can handle 200+ pounds of speakers and cables. Decksaver covers shield expensive controllers and synths from dust and spills. The right case isn't about looking professional, it's about whether your gear survives the trip. Foam-lined hard cases absorb impact. ATA-rated flight cases meet airline cargo standards. Soft gig bags work for local transport but won't protect against drops or crushing weight.

What to Look For

Hard cases use different construction methods: injection-molded plastic, wood with metal corners, or aluminum. ATA 300 rating means it can handle commercial air travel. Check interior foam: pick-and-pluck lets you customize fit, while pre-cut foam only works for specific gear. Rack cases are measured in rack units (U), count your gear's U height before buying. For DJ coffins, verify turntable cutout dimensions and cable access ports. Decksaver covers are molded for specific models: a cover for a Pioneer DDJ-1000 won't fit a DDJ-800. Transport carts need load capacity ratings and wheel diameter, larger wheels roll easier over cables and thresholds. Stackable cases save van space but need recessed handles and rubber feet.
