Comments about Gator G-MIX-L Lightweight Mixer or Equipment Case:
I purchased this as protection for a Peavey XR1212P powered mixer. Because the construction quality, design, and utility for this case are so poor, as well as bad experiences with other Gator products, I would not recommend any product made by Gator to anyone. [I had one of their hardshell guitar cases fall apart in less than four months]. I advise people to take the measurements for the mixer they wish to buy a case for, and then shop to see what other makes and sizes of cases may be available.
First off, the G-Mix-L has no external pockets for cables, accessories per se. There is a pouch which attaches to the case with plastic clips, but is so big it's like a clip-on tote bag.
Another problems is that this comes in a limited range of sizes which do not provide a snug fit for all mixers.
Although it has "rigid" sides, the front and back offer minimal protection since there is no padding in those panels.
Finally, although the case is advertised as being "lightweight," it isn't. The case itself probably adds another 10-15 pounds to the weight of the mixer.
The shell material is only 600-denier nylon. For the prices being charged, it should be 1200 denier, which is almost like canvas and affords a higher level of protection.
Having had problems with poor quality construction/materials in other Gator products, I am not surprised.
Because of the lack of compatibility with any given size of Mixer, as well as the fact that there are other cases available which provide superior protection at less cost, this is a poor value.
Comments about Gator G-MIX-L Lightweight Mixer or Equipment Case:
Overall, very good product. My only complain is the lack of a thicker/safer material in the cover. The sides are fine, thick and reliable foam, but the cover is made of nylon only. I would give it a 5 stars if the heavy-duty foam were available in both sides and cover.
