The WFC-020 U from RCS Audio-Systems is a 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) angled flight case with 20 height units (HE), specifically designed for professional use in event technology. It serves as a robust transport and storage solution for 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack-mounted devices, particularly in mobile scenarios such as tours, stage operations, trade fairs, and international shipping. The construction complies with the international 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) standard, ensuring universal compatibility with standard equipment.
Applications
This flight case is designed for use in demanding environments where high mechanical stress, transportation via freight or air cargo, and quick access to devices are required. The robust construction and special angled design enable optimal space utilization and secure transport of devices with varying dimensions, especially those with great depth.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The body is made of 7 mm thick multi-layer birch plywood in a Double Door construction, ensuring high stability and durability. The outer edges are protected by continuous aluminium frame profiles (25/25 mm), providing additional mechanical protection. At all eight outer corners, high-gloss zinc-plated steel ball corners are installed, protecting against damage from impact and friction forces. The bottom of the case is fitted with four stable rubber feet, ensuring a non-slip and damage-free stable position.
Technology Explained Simply
The mounting depth is 500 mm, making the case particularly suitable for deep 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack-mounted devices. The total height is 1003 mm, with a usable mounting height of 905 mm. The total width is 550 mm and the total depth is 685 mm. The integrated rack rail in the upper section is adjustable and allows for angled positioning of mixers or control devices, improving operability in mobile applications. The rack rail is usable for 10 HE when positioned at an angle.
Compatibility and Accessories
The case is designed for mounting 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) devices and provides 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack mounting. It is equipped with three removable lids – front, rear, and top – enabling quick and convenient access to the devices. The locking mechanism consists of four spring-loaded butterfly latches and four recessed flip handles in the shell, ensuring secure locking and easy handling. As an accessory, a roll base (RUS-101) is available, made of 15 mm thick cross-laminated plywood and fitted with four 100 mm Blue-Wheels swivel castors, enhancing the mobility of the case.
Mounting and Installation
Mounting of 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) devices is done via the integrated rack rail, with mounting materials supplied depending on the model. The removable lids facilitate installation and maintenance of the devices, as they allow direct access to all sides. The adjustable rack rail requires no additional mounting elements and is fixed directly in the designated position.
Advantages in Operation
The WFC-020 U offers high mechanical stability, ensuring protection of sensitive equipment during transport and storage. The large mounting depth of 500 mm extends compatibility with deep devices. The removable lids and butterfly latches allow for quick and secure access. The non-slip rubber feet ensure stable positioning, even on uneven surfaces. The construction according to the international 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) standard ensures universal usability in professional applications.
