The Innovation Journey
SKB’s reputation for durability and reliability continues with its newest Behringer Wing Compact Digital Mixer Case, designed specifically for this popular console. Built for touring musicians and engineers, this rugged case ensures your mixer stays safe in transit, whether you're heading to a local gig or a cross-country tour.
Another highlight is SKB’s Waves LV-1 Classic Case, a result of their direct partnership with Waves to protect their brand-new digital console. Custom-fitted and road-ready, this case is built to withstand the demands of professional audio production.
For Allen & Heath Avantis Solo users, SKB introduced a dedicated case tailored to the needs of live sound engineers. Every SKB case is engineered with precision, offering unbeatable protection while making setup and transport easier than ever.
Impact & Vision
SKB has been safeguarding musical equipment since 1977, and their expertise spans across audio, video, photo, and lighting industries. They understand that professional musicians and engineers rely on their gear to perform, which is why they work closely with manufacturers to create cases that offer the best possible fit and protection.
One of their most exciting releases this year is the 4RU Carry-On Rack, the world's first rack case designed for overhead compartments. “It's actually a 4RU rack that you can take on a plane with you or fly, check it, put it in the overhead bin, and you don't have to worry about checking it or the airline losing your rack or your equipment,” said Adam Grady of SKB Cases. This is a game-changer for traveling engineers who need their essential rack gear close at hand without the hassle of checked luggage.
Behind the Technology
SKB’s legacy is built on injection-molded cases, which set the industry standard for waterproof, dustproof, and impact-proof protection. Designed and manufactured in Southern California, these cases are trusted by professionals across multiple industries.
The 4RU Carry-On Rack is a prime example of SKB’s forward-thinking approach. This compact yet highly protective rack case ensures that valuable audio gear remains safe during travel, addressing one of the biggest pain points for touring professionals.
Meanwhile, their custom digital mixer cases provide unmatched security for today’s leading consoles, allowing sound engineers to work with confidence, knowing their equipment is fully protected.

The 4RU Carry-On Rack is a standout innovation that could redefine how traveling engineers and producers manage their essential equipment. The ability to safely store and transport rack gear in an overhead compartment is a huge win for those who constantly work on the road.
