The high-quality processed mixer case from Gäng-Case is the perfect companion for transporting the Midas M32R mixer. The shockproof flight case offers robust ball corners, butterfly fasteners and strap handle as external equipment features. The connecting cables of the mixing console can be easily and safely transported in the flight case. Thanks to thick foam padding, the Midas M32R PerforLine case guarantees safe transport and precise fixation of the mixer.
Optically, the cases of the PerforLine series hardly differ from conventional flight cases of the same design. However, important design features make the difference: The flightcases manufactured by Gäng Case in Germany convince with lower weight and 30% more stability, which is achieved by the use of high-quality industrial adhesive for gluing the wooden elements to the aluminium profiles.

First things first, the mixer didn’t fit. Or to be precise the mixer did fit, but the lid wouldn’t close.
There were a 1 cm gap due to a miscalculation or misplacing of the wooden support parts at the rear of the case. So the mixer was pushed too much forward.
I took the decision to keep the case and modify it to make a working product. The case weight was 12,1 kg when I received it, and after removing the unnecessary wooden blocks (700 g) and replacing them with a metal brackets and adding a 4 outlet powerstrip, I also got the weight down under 12 kg.
So keep in mind that this is not an especially light case, even though the product description tries to tell you otherwise. You can get a four handle case with a weight around 12,5 kg. And that’s just what this case needs, two more handles.
I also had to cut the foam padding for the mixer’s feet, they were just barely sitting on the edge of the padding making the whole mixer unstable. Now the mixer lies on it’s underbelly, and it is way more stable yet still maintaining the airflow.
I know it isn’t IP rated, but there are many places on the side railings where you can see unlaminated wood. So they skimped on the aluminium, and made the railings too short.
Few positive things are that it looks good (or it did, I chipped the plywood while drilling), and feels sturdy. Also it has rubber feet on the ball corners.
Overall, if you want a professional case, look elsewhere or be ready to spent time, effort and lots of beer.
