SKB Roto Rack/Mixer Console, 10U Slanted Rackmount on top, 4U Rackmount in Front - 422004

The SKB 1SKB-R104 Roto Rack/Mixer Console Case is a rugged and versatile solution designed for professionals who need reliable protection and easy access to their rack-mounted gear. Featuring a 10U slanted top rackmount and a 4U vertical front rackmount, this case offers optimal configuration for mixers, processors, and other AV equipment. Built with steel threaded rails for secure gear installation, it provides solid, road-ready performance in any setting.

The case is constructed with a one-piece base made from Roto-Molded Linear Medium Density Polyethylene (LMDPE), offering exceptional durability and impact resistance. The front, rear, and top lids are injection molded from Rubber Modified Styrene (RMS), adding further strength while keeping the overall weight manageable. The hard flat top is designed for easy stacking during transport or storage, and the spacious interior allows enough room to mount an optional AV-8 shelf—even with the lid closed.

Side access ports allow for clean and organized cable routing, enhancing functionality without compromising protection. For added security, the case features SKB’s patented TSA-approved Trigger Latch locking system. These Travel Sentry® Approved latches enable TSA agents to inspect your gear without damaging the case or your locks.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean regularly with a soft microfiber cloth to remove dust and studio buildup
