[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 68812, member: 67"] Re: Case/doghouse tray idea... Sounds good to me. I'm one of the guys that schleps touring consoles in/out of our PAC. At 250#, that's a box of air compared with moving a PM5D, PM1D, Cadac *anything*, or Midas XL or Heritage. Most shows have 3 or 4 300# racks plus the mixer/surface. Just cutting 1 rack makes me smile. Now wearing my regional sound company hat... recently we worked with a country artist that had a AVID Profile/mixrack or SC48 (can't remember which). In the case, behind the keyboard, the BE mounted a MacMini and KVM switch. He used the Mini to run Smaart, iTunes, set list notes and record the show with ProTools. The switch flipped between the Mini and the console. He also had a little i/o panel built into the doghouse to make for easy patching. No carry rack, everything fits in the case. There are a couple other theatre sound mixers on these forums and I recall a couple of posts regarding using the X32 on musicals. Your observations will be most welcome. [/QUOTE]
