These are the EWI Tourcase
tm Model CU-P-22 rack cases which have ratcheting
mixer rails mounted at the top of the case and an extra deep 22"
rack depth measured from the front rack rails to the rear rack
rails. Currently 5 models are available: C4UE-P-22 (4
space), C6UE-P-22 (6 space), C8U-P-22 (8 space), C12U-P-22 (12
space), and C16U-P-22 (16 space).The slant mixer mounting portion of the CU-P-22 series cases is designed to
accommodate mixers with a rack mount requirement of up to 12U (21").
A longer front to back mixer of up to 24" is possible to mount in this
case by extending a portion of the mixer into the front and back lids; however,
the mixer rack rails are 21" long. The slant mixer rails are supported
at the back with a ratcheting tilt mechanism which allows the mixer
to be positioned at 10 different angles ranging from flat or horizontal to a
maximum slanted position of 20 degrees.
The equipment rack rails of the CU-P-22 cases are actually
two spaces longer than the model number implies. Depending
on your mixer height when laid flat or horizontal in the slant
top portion of the rack you may or may not be able to use this
extra rack space for racking other equipment. If your
mixer extends down into this space when laid flat you will still
have the full use of the rated rack space. Please note:
The supplied panel blanks or a piece of rack equipment must be
installed in the front and back rails at all times to provide
rigidity to the case.
The CU-P-22 series side panels are constructed with 3/8 inch
hardwood plywood and covered with a black ABS laminate finish.
The extrusion is all double walled aluminum and the case is
assembled with stainless steel rivets. The rivets on the 4
recessed padded flip handles are backed with washers to ensure
strength and durability. The cases roll on 4 heavy duty 4"
swivel casters, two of which are braking style. The casters are
shipped un-mounted with all mounting hardware included.
Please note that the C4UE-P-22 & C6UE-P-22 do not
come with casters or a caster board.
The CU-P-22 series cases are equipped with 3 lids: front, back, and top.
The lids are secured to the case using 4 medium sized recessed butterfly latches
per lid and the top lid is secured between the front and back lids. Each
lid
has four heavy duty ball corners and the inside of the CU-P-22 series lids are fully
padded with medium density foam rubber. When the mixer rails are
horizontal, there is approximately 2 3/4" of clearance between the top of the
mixer rails and the inside of the top lid.
These are well made heavy duty cases manufactured to exacting tolerances and
suitable for a variety of deep racking applications.
