Gator G-TOUR-GRC12X12 – 12U Console Flight Rack Case

Product Overview

The Gator G-TOUR-GRC12X12 is a console ATA flight rack case combining a 12U slant-top section with a 12U vertical bottom section, purpose-built for mixing consoles and live audio control positions. This console rack case puts a mixer or control surface at an ergonomic angle on top while housing processors, power, and playback gear in the bottom rack. Four casters — two locking — and tour-grade plywood construction make it a mobile front-of-house solution for integrators and production companies.

Product Description

The G-TOUR-GRC12X12 is an ATA console wood flight rack case with a fixed 12-space slant top and a fixed 12-space bottom, giving a mixer or digital control surface a comfortable working angle above a vertical equipment rack. The shell is built from 9mm plywood with a laminated exterior, reinforced with heavy-duty commercial-grade plated hardware and ball corners that survive repeated freight and touring handling. The 3.2mm-thick front rack rails hold mounted gear rigid, and a tongue-and-groove extruded aluminum valance helps seal and align the lids.

Red Penn-Elcom recessed twist latches and spring-loaded rubber-grip handles speed setup, while a rear access door and cable port keep cabling organized between the console and the bottom rack. Four casters — two of them locking — let a single operator roll the console into position and lock it for the performance. Gator notes the slant top fits popular consoles including the Allen & Heath MixWizard and Yamaha 01V, making it a practical choice for small-format mixing rigs that travel. For commercial AV and live-sound teams, a console rack case consolidates the mixing surface and signal processing into one rolling, road-ready unit. Teams transporting straight equipment racks can compare the G-TOUR16UCA-24D 16U flight rack or the table-equipped GTOUR16U-TBL. Browse all options in the Gator Cases collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a console rack case used for?
The slant-top section holds a mixing console or control surface at an ergonomic working angle, while the vertical bottom rack houses processing, power, and playback gear — consolidating a full mixing position into one rolling case.

Which consoles fit the 12U slant top?
Per Gator, the slant top accommodates consoles such as the Allen & Heath MixWizard and Yamaha 01V. Confirm your specific console's rack-mount dimensions against the 12U slant-top space before ordering.

How is cabling handled between the two sections?
A rear access door and cable port let you route and manage cabling between the slant-top console and the bottom equipment rack without removing gear.

Is the case suitable for touring?
Yes. The 9mm plywood shell, Penn-Elcom recessed latches, zinc-plated hardware, and reinforced ball corners meet ATA transport standards for repeated road and rental use.

Can one person move it?
Four casters — two locking — let a single operator roll the loaded console into position on flat surfaces and lock it in place for the performance.

Does the bottom section use standard rack rails?
Yes. The 12U bottom uses 3.2mm-thick front rack rails for standard 19" rack-mount equipment.

What warranty applies for commercial use?
Gator backs the case with a Limited Lifetime Warranty on manufacturing defects for the original owner; moving parts such as casters carry a one-year term with field-replaceable parts afterward, and rental-capacity use is excluded.
