The WFC-012 U from RCS Audio-Systems is a 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) angled flight case with 12 height units (HE), specifically designed for professional use in event technology. It is intended for the secure transport and mounting of 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack-mounted devices during tours, stage installations, and shipping via freight or air freight. The case conforms to the international 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) standard and is designed for use in demanding environments.
Applications
This flight case is intended for use in professional event technology, live events, stage setups, and logistics for audio and video equipment. Its construction enables the safe transport of sensitive devices over long distances and under varying conditions, including air freight and freight shipping. The robust design protects the mounted devices from mechanical stress, impacts, and environmental influences.
Features and Equipment in Detail
The body of the WFC-012 U is made of 7 mm thick, multi-layered birch plywood in Double Door" configuration, ensuring high stability and durability. The mounting depth is 500 mm, providing sufficient space for deep 19 rack-mounted devices. An adjustable rack rail in the upper section allows for ergonomic angled positioning of mixers or control panels, improving operability during use. The entire outer edge of the case is protected by continuous aluminium profiles (25/25 mm), which provide additional stability and protection against edge damage.
Technology Explained Simply
The 12 height units (HE) correspond to a mounting height of 545 mm, with one HE equaling 44.45 mm. The overall height of the case is 670 mm, the overall width is 550 mm, and the overall depth is 685 mm. The mounting depth of 500 mm is particularly suitable for devices with greater depth, such as mixing consoles or amplifiers. The aluminium profiles and the 8 zinc-plated corner protectors on the outer corners increase mechanical strength and protect against corner and edge damage. The 4 recessed folding handles and spring-loaded butterfly latches ensure secure and convenient transport. The 4 non-slip rubber feet on the underside provide stable positioning of the case on various surfaces.
Compatibility and Accessories
The WFC-012 U is designed for mounting 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack-mounted devices and conforms to the international 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) standard. It is equipped with an adjustable rack rail suitable for angled positioning of mixers or control panels. As an accessory, a roll base (RUS-101) is available, made of sturdy plywood and equipped with 4 swivel castors (100 mm). This enables mobile use of the case, especially for longer transport distances.
Mounting and Installation
Mounting is done via the integrated 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack rail, designed for securing devices according to the 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) standard.
