19" rack mounting
The WFC-010U from RCS Audio-Systems is a 19˝-angled flight case with a height of 10 rack units (U), specifically designed for use in event technology. The housing provides a stable and protective environment for professional audio and mixing equipment, particularly for mixers intended to be positioned at an angle. The construction complies with the international 19˝ standard and is designed for use on stages, at events, as well as for shipping via freight or air freight.
Applications
This flight case is suitable for professional use in live event technology, where robust transport and protection solutions are required for sensitive equipment. The angled construction allows for the slanted placement of a mixer, which is advantageous for operation on stages or in recording studios. The high stability and special design also make the housing suitable for transport over long distances and under harsh conditions.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The housing consists of a very stable Double Door body made of 7 mm multi-layer birch plywood, offering high mechanical load capacity. The edges are protected by continuous aluminium frame profile angles (25/25 mm), providing additional protection against impact and abrasion. At all eight outer corners, high-gloss zinc-plated steel ball corners are installed, ensuring additional mechanical stability and protection against corner and edge damage. The bottom of the case is fitted with four stable rubber feet, providing secure stability and protection against floor contact.
Technology Explained Simply
The installation depth is 500 mm, allowing for a particularly large installation and mounting surface for equipment. The overall height of the case is 580 mm, the overall width 550 mm, and the overall depth 685 mm. The internal installation height is 455 mm, corresponding to a height of 10 U (1 U = 44.45 mm). The integrated 19˝ rack mounting allows the device to be installed directly into the rack. The adjustable 19˝ rack rail at the top enables the slanted positioning of a mixer, providing optimal ergonomics during practical operation. The case is delivered with four recessed folding handles on the shell and spring-loaded butterfly latches, enabling secure and convenient handling.
Compatibility and Accessories
The flight case features removable lids on the front, rear, and top, facilitating access to the equipment while providing high protection. As an accessory, the roll base RUS-101 is available, made of 15 mm thick cross-laminated plywood and equipped with four 100 mm Blue-Wheels swivel castors. These castors are fitted with two stoppers to ensure secure positioning. The roll base enables mobile use of the case, especially for larger transports or movement within event areas.
Mounting and Installation
Mounting is done via the integrated 19˝ rack rail located at the top of the case. Devices are inserted into the rack rail and secured using the available mounting options. The removable lids can be removed or attached as needed to allow access to the equipment. The butterfly latches ensure secure locking of the case, while the folding handles enable convenient handling.
Operational Advantages
The WFC-010U offers high mechanical stability and a high level of protection for sensitive equipment. The special angled construction enables ergonomic operation of mixers. The large installation depth of 500 mm provides space for deeper equipment. The integrated 19˝ rack mounting and removable lids simplify installation and maintenance. The rubber feet and aluminium edge protection profiles increase the durability and protection of the case. The use of high-quality materials such as birch plywood and zinc-plated steel sheet ensures a long service life and high load capacity.
