Seamy ALB Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I just bought a new rack flight case to put my GK head into. I bolted it at the 4 corners in the lowest position but the feet are of the bottom, should I glue some rubber into the bottom to support it better or will it be ok slightly suspended?

Mighty Thumb Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 What kind (make and model) of flight case? I know that some flight cases have a suspension or shock absorbtion system incorporated in the design, ie. the 19" rack "floats" inside the case. http://www.skbcases.com/product/pro_audio/rack_mount/art/elastomers.jpg What else will be in the rack besides the head? Is the head bolted by the front rack ears only, or is it bolted at both the front and rear? If it's bolted at the front only, I would highly recommend installing rear rack ears to support it there. If it's supported at both the front and the back then I would feel secure with it being suspended, in fact given there is enough available space I would purposely mount it that way.

Seamy ALB Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hi Thumb this is the case here http://www.djmart.com/shxra4sp.html It is a shallow case and only fixable at the front. My Head is a GK RB700II it fits real neat. http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Little-Bitter/185235472447 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 It will be fine suspended by the 4 mounting screws at the front - that's what those are designed for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my rack gear, and all other rack gear that I have seen for that matter, are just mounted by the front 4 mounting screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
