These are the EWI Tourcase tm Model CUDJ Series rack cases which have ratcheting mixer rails mounted at the top of the case and an 18.25" rack depth measured from the front rack rails to the rear rack rails.
The CUDJ series cases build on the success of our CU series with the added feature of attaching the removable doors to the sides of the case to form a tabletop. The doors house the steel table legs which fold flat when transporting. The tables attach to the sides with two heavy duty hooks and latches built into the doors and sides of the case. Currently 3 models are available: C12UDJ-P (12 space), C14UDJ-P (14 space), and C16UDJ-P (16 space). With both tables attached on the C12UDJ-P, the overall width of the case is 88 3/4" with a tabletop height of 31 1/4". The C14UDJ-P, has an overall width of 95 1/2" with a tabletop height of 34 7/8". The C16UDJ-P, has an overall width of 103" with a tabletop height of 38 3/8".
The slant mixer mounting portion of the CUDJ series cases is designed to accommodate mixers with a rack mount requirement of up to 10U (17.5"). A longer front to back mixer of up to 21" (12U) 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 17.5" 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 CUDJ 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 CUDJ series side panels are constructed with 3/8 inch hardwood plywood and covered with a black ABS laminate finish. The extrusion is all aluminum and the case is assembled with aluminum 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.
The CUDJ 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 CUDJ 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 racking applications.
