Stagelight chose the cases due to their combination of stylish design, high build quality and scratch-proof material. The trial cases have been in regular use since they were purchased 12 months ago and have transported a wide range of equipment, including power and microphone cables, Hog PCs and ETC Source Fopur PARs.
The cases are constructed from an injection moulded, custom blended thermoplastic resin material which although often lighter than conventional cases, is able to withstand harsh touring environments. The material is splash-proof (IP44) with a 'wipe clean' water resistant surface, has a high resistance to chemical/biological agents and retains its colour if scratched due to constant colour pigmentation throughout the material. The case's patented panel interlocking mechanism also enables easy replacement of panels should damage occur.
