Gator Cases Padded Nylon Mixer/Gear Carry Bag with Removable Strap; 12" x 12" x 5.5" (G-MIXERBAG-1212) Review:


amazing calibre very durable heavy stitch. slick zipper. Enough flexibility to transport all of my gear, including my fishfinder, batteries, electronic motor control box, and cable for the potentiometer motor speed control. Keeps everything together, keeps it orderly, and makes it incredibly portable from the boat to the shore and back. It is simple to store on a shelf, and nothing is lost, damaged, dropped, or lost in transit. superior bag. Simply measure your item before looking for the ideal model. Gator needs to sell these to the manufacturers of electronic equipment like Lowrance, Hummingbird, RayMarine, as well as to boaters who are in desperate need of this kind of gear. Kudos....



Gator Cases Padded Nylon Mixer/Gear Carry Bag with Removable Strap; 15.5" x 15" x 5.5" (G-MIXERBAG-1515) Review:


This was the case that was packaged with the Yamaha DTX Multi 12 on various places, so I decided to give it a go. I have the Yamaha bottom mount as opposed to the Roland style bracket, but I could see this working for both. This is not a precise fit item, there will be space around the unit, and the bag may sit a little strange.The DTX by itself is very tough, so I acquired this largely to keep it from getting scratched up, and to contain the many cords and support materials needed for the device. It features a separate compartment with a couple velcro tie offs for cables, plus some good cushioning on the inside for further protection. I can also understand why this would be a good case for a mixer.At $30 I think this is a fair deal. There is an SKB alternative available that's waterproof, and hard shelled, but it's also $100 extra. For local gigs where you're not throwing something on a tour bus, I think this case is more than fine.



Gator Cases Padded Nylon Mixer/Gear Carry Bag with Removable Strap; 20" x 20" x 5.5" (G-MIXERBAG-2020) Review:


This bag was purchased for my Yamaha MG16XU Mixer. It fits well in this bag, which is padded and safe. The bag's quality is plain to see. Obviously, the straps and zippers will last a very long time. I did my research before buying this. Similar-quality bags cost easily close to twice as much. Do your own investigation instead of relying on me because I might be working for Gator and attempting to lead you astray. For the record, I don't work for them because I'm retired and won't ever have a job that pays me truthfully again! This bag will not leave you disappointed.



Gator Cases Padded Nylon Mixer/Gear Carry Bag with Removable Strap; 18.5" x 15" x 6.5" (G-MIXERBAG-1815) Review:


good, lightweight, yet strong bag. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with anything to help you make adjustments for the bag's extra space. Since it's uncommon to carry around an object exactly the same size as the bag, it would have been helpful to have some sort of insert or strap inside, like you find in luggage or even other Gator brand instrument cases. To make up the shortfall right now, I'm using wadded-up towels, but it looks much less professional.



Gator Cases G-TOUR ATA Style Road Case - Custom Fit for Behringer X32 with Built in Wheels and Tow Handle; (G-TOUR X32NDH) Review:


absolute best case. There is no question that my mixer is secure. But it does add a great deal of weight. Using this mixer requires more than one person, so I hope you have a friend to assist you with the lift. It has a pair of suitcase-style handles and wheels on one side for moving about.



Gator Cases Padded Mixer Carry Bag; Fits Behringer X-AIR Series Mixers; 13.1" x 6.25" x 6" (G-MIXERBAG-1306) Review:


Update (9/7/18):sGator mailed me a replacement strap about two months ago. Unfortunately they did not deliver an exact replacement. A shoulder strap with plastic instead of metal hooks was provided, free of charge, after a reasonably pleasant customer service exchange. I have patched the broken shoulder strap to work because I don’t actually rely on the strap all the much anymore, and it still works. I have adapted the replacement strap for use with a camera bag. The case itself is still in fine functioning condition. I would urge anyone dealing with Gator’s customer care to be patient as the process of reporting a claim, processing, then finally obtaining the replacement took a while. I don’t remember precisely how long but it may have been approximately a month from claim to replacement.UPDATE (5/23/18):sIt looks I must eat my remarks as the strap hook detached from the strap itself. I made a warranty claim to Gator and pending its conclusion I will update this evaluation at that time.Original Review:I got this case for my Behringer XR18 Digital Mixer about 6 months ago, and have been using it regularly since then. I gig once or twice a week, thus the case sees good usage. With that in mind, below are some of the benefits and cons of this case.Pros:sGreat Construction Qualitys-Definitely lives up to the Gator Brand. I have no issues. It has small scuff scratches on the corners of the case, but nothing that would ever impair the usability of the case. I completely expect the case to endure the lifespan of the mixer, or at least as long as I will be using it.Storage Pouch for Cabless-I toss in the IEC power wire for the mixer, an ethernet dongle for my Mac, an Aux Cord (with two RCA-1/4" adapters), and an AmazonBasics USB 2.0 Cable - A-Male to B-Male - 16 Feet (4.8 Meters) (4.8 Meters). This way, I can easily and quickly configure my mixer to get ready to get an aux running in the house speakers when I get to the gig.Comfortable Handless-The handles aren't particularly padded, but they are suitable for the weight of the mixer. The shoulder strap employs metal parts to connect it to the bag, which is always pleasant to see.Cons:sHonestly the only thing that is troubling to me is the quantity of individuals that are having trouble with getting their mixer in and out of the bag. To make sure the product is protected, Gator created a case that fits it tightly. While this causes some obstacles, it is readily solved by being patient and level headed. Do NOT simply try to pull out aimlessly. Take out the corners individually and work it out carefully. Once the corners are clear, it comes out easily.Final Verdict:sThe G-Mixerbag-1306 is a wonderful case for the XR18, XR16, and XR12. Another alternative application for this case is as a compact toolbox to contain minor items you might need while on stage- (SPL Meter, flashlight, small roll of Gaffers tape, batteries, etc). (SPL Meter, flashlight, small roll of Gaffers tape, batteries, etc.). I use this to hold items like my phone, wallet, etc, while I'm on stage so it's away in a quick and accessible spot, but out of the way. I think everybody who has one of these mixers that doesn't rack it should buy this case, unless they have some other specialized solution.



Mackie Dust Cover for ProFX16 Mixer (ProFX16 Cover) Review:


Mackie ProFX16 Mixer Dust Cover (ProFX16 Cover) Yes, it's just what I needed to safeguard my investment. For the price, I think this is a wonderful purchase.



Gator Cases Black Nylon Stretch Mixer Cover; Min 14" x 14" / Max 22"x 22" (GMC-2222) Review:


Though the corners are sewed at 45 degree angles, untouched, the object appears unusually flat. Never the less, it spans over my Novation Launchkey 25 with room to spare. The dimensions are 17.7 x 10.6 x 3.2 inches. Someone commented that it takes two people to place this thing on a 10 × 10 inch object. You know musicians do a lot of drugs, right? As long as you can comprehend how to operate a draw string, you'll be able to stop any popping off from occuring. This stuff is incredibly elastic and the stitching is good. The cloth is quite thick and not likely to readily puncture, rip, or pill.These are goods I use, and have reviewed, with this item.
