ATA Cases

Post by Stuckinabox » Mon Jan 29, 2007 11:25 pm

I've got more places to take the Voyager now and I'm looking to buy one of the ATA cases. There is a significant price difference between the molded and aluminum, but there's a finite amount of the aluminum and it might be nice to get one of the last few.

So, how do they compare?

The aluminum one is fantasic. It weighs 40+ lbs, but is easy to transport because of the great wheels, balance, and handle. It has some nice rubber bumpers on it as well. As I recall the molded case is either wider or longer than the aluminum but much lighter. I lucked out and got my aluminum case from a store going out of business. I paid $150 for it. I've read that the molded case is quite durable and does well going through airports.

Portable case for RME Voyager

Post by ramechling » Tue Jan 30, 2007 9:56 am

Height and width of the RME are listed but not the depth.
Do any of you know if it will fit in a portable case such as the SKB mixer case (SKB19P12) ??
Any other suggestions for a portable case that would allow the RME to sit upright or at an angle ?
Thanks

After much thought I chose the ATA case, it's almost bomb proof. Even though I don't take it out very often, when I do it is well protected.
I invested too much in my Voyager and would be sick if it got busted up in transit. The ATA is more $ but it should protect your Voyager from anything short of an atomic blast.
