Based on an earlier post, I looked up RoadCases (roadcasesusa.com) and asked them if they had a rolling rack case that would fit my Series III 16. They said they had a custom one for the 16.4.2 which was close, but when I gave them the mixer’s measurements, they concluded it would need to be modified, and then concluded since this is the new model, they should offer one for it, so for $749, I got a custom rolling rack with 12U underneath it and a top perch for the 16. The only surprise was, because of the dimensions of the mixer, the case is 90 degrees different from what I expected. The mixer isn’t attached by rack ears, it sits on a foam pad in the top part of the case, and every time you want to use it, after you take the top and sides off, you have to pick up the mixer, rotate it 90 degrees, and set it down. It gives you easy access to the ports on the back, and there’s a little room on each side when you’re using it, and I put my WiFi router on one side, and In-Ear Monitors transmitter in the other, and it all works. But I would rather have had it rack-ear-mountable on top so I woouldn’t have to plug/unplug everything every show.

That said, it’s a great-quality case, the people were easy to work with, and free shipping from NY to L.A. made it quite a bargain. And from order to delivery was less than two weeks.
