Good, Portable Rack

I purchased this to replace a much heavier rack that was breaking my back! This lightweight rolling rack serves quite nicely to port my outboard compressors, equilizers and FOH outboard gear for gigs that are not always easy to get to. It rolls right in like a travel suitcase and makes setting up a breeze.

Built Light

I was looking for a lighter alternative to my shock-mount rack case that weighs about 80 pounds empty. This is case very light, however it is built so light and cheap that I am not confident it will hold up. The latches on the front are light and cheaply made - the rear cover is barely held on by 2 plastic rotating tabs. The rear cover is loosely fitted, so it actually slides back and forth when you move the case. Instead of threaded rails, there are clips with a nut welded to it that screw threads into. Lose a clip and you are out of luck. the pulling handle is really lightly built - I have seen better on $20 rolling backpacks.

Wish I could have looked at this somewhere before I ordered it.

SKB provides no side ventialation space

SKB-RLX6 and similar rack design provides no side ventilation space. There is not enough space for side mounted fan to function on Pro Tools 96 i/o.
I realized this after 2 channels failed after operating in this rack for just a few days. Och! If you have equipment without side vent you should be okay with this product. Also the attached rubber bumpers smelled so bad I had to remove them.

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
