Whether you want to take that literally or want the peace of mind of knowing that your gear is safe and sound, ProX is ready to roll. This ATA 300-style flight case comes built with 3/8-inch plywood, featuring their signature Honeycomb Digital Laminate, inspired by the manhole covers of New York City and engineered to endure all types of turbulence. Its high-density foam lining is tailored to this powerful standalone system’s unique form factor, safeguarding sensitive surface features, like sliders, knobs, jog wheels, and its vibrant touchscreen display. A removable V-cut panel provides access to necessary front-mounted controls and the 19-inch 1U rack space. The included rack rails are also adjustable to accommodate front- or rear-mounted configurations. Visual design abounds, with this flight case, thanks to the pre-mounted 20-inch strip of RGB LEDs that can be easily customized and controlled with the included remote. Plus, if laptops are integral to your workflow, this flight case features a gliding laptop shelf, complete with two portholes and a one-inch vertical gap that accommodates any additional cabling without needing to remove anything from the enclosure. Spring-action, recessed grip handles, and industrial recessed butterfly twist-lock latches make storage a breeze, all without compromising structural integrity. Gigging DJs at Sweetwater especially appreciate the ergonomic interior support, which lets you seamlessly transition from travel to performance without needing to remove the mixer from its case.





What is an ATA-style case?





Let’s face it ? traveling with your gear can be stressful, and knowing which case, cover, or enclosure best suits your transportation or storage needs brings immense peace of mind. At Sweetwater, we pride ourselves on providing you with the best possible solutions so you can travel hassle-free.





The phrase “ATA” is commonly used when discussing flight or road cases, but what does this really mean? Now known as A4A (Airlines for America), the Air Transport Association (ATA) was founded in 1936, with the commonplace designation of ATA cases emerging in 1960. This resulted from the development of the ATA 300 compliance rules, or ATA Spec 300, giving us the commonly seen ATA 300 moniker that accompanies many flight or road cases intended for stored transportation. Because the ATA and its certification process no longer exist, the only way for a hard case to be certified by ATA standards of any kind is for a credible and independent lab to conduct the appropriate testing on a case. This would verify that its materials and construction meet ATA specification 300 standards as well as ensure its ability to withstand multiple factors, such as enduring at least 100 trips.





While the ATA-300 spec is seen as a gold standard for travel-bound cases (especially air travel), there are a variety of options to safeguard your gear from the potential damage associated with any kind of storage, travel, shipping, or transportation. Please be sure to get in touch with your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have any questions about whether a flight or road case will provide adequate security for your needs.
