Our shared love of music is what connects us to people around the world, and the undeniable warmth of a classic vinyl record is something we should all experience together. ProX developed their Universal Turntable Case with exactly this in mind. Constructed in durable ATA 300-style, the flight case features ProX’s signature Honeycomb Digital hexagon-gridded surface ? a custom-developed surface treatment that offers superior protection from scratches, minor to mild, as compared with standard laminate material. But what about the rest? Its 3/8-inch plywood construction is extremely rugged, reinforced by robust steel-ball corners, dual-anchor rivets, and flight-grade aluminum. Hard rubber foam coats the interior of the case, keeping your turntable snug and secure, safeguarding sensitive components, surfaces, and connectors from the outside world during transportation or storage. Plus, this material ? much to the delight of Sweetwater’s turntablists ? is made from 70% recycled content. Industrial-grade latches are padlock-ready, with twist-lock butterfly designs that make its tongue-and-groove lid attachment seamless and solid. Spring-action recessed handles and ultra-sturdy rubber feet easily keep your case in place, and even easier to move with the groove.





Note: This ProX case was designed using the Technics SL-1200 turntable as the model for its interior dimensions. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer with any questions or concerns regarding fit and accommodation with your turntable.





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.
