NMD (New Mixer Day) Yeah I got a 1608... now what do I house it in

[troy mcclure]

I just bought a 1608 so I will gig with it in a cover band with powered speakers.  I need to carry it and also house the router.
What works for you?

First off, good luck with your new mixer. I've had mine over two years now and it's been great!
I use a small aluminium case, foam lined. Very inexpensive, designed to hold tools, probably available in most hardware outlets worldwide!

Me too but I went one stage further and mounted the mixer in mine with the PSU and router running off an IEC socket.

I already had a rack case that my previous MixWiz had been mounted in.  I just bought the rack mount kit and put my DL1608 in the rack.  I do prefer to have my wireless mic receivers already hooked up.  As well as having airplay hooked up.  I use it for testing the system and I also carry two DriveRack PXs and a DriveRack PA in the stack too as well as two stereo amps.  (One is still a heavy old style.  Gotta replace that sometime.   Getting way too old to be hauling 100+ pound racks.  Weight was one reason for going to the DL.)
