I was under the impression there was a plan to provide for a way to close two cases together, joined by a spacer that connects the two, as some of the other case mfr do.

We presently have no plans for this.

Are these cases available without the power supply and bus board?

I see Control in Brooklyn has some of the 104hp 7U cases in black “stealth”. Is this a limited run thing or will they be readily available? They look great black! :sunglasses:

Got my black stealth case the other day and love it! One thing I would like to have is something similar to the case joiners that would allow the case to stand upright at like an 80% angle. Any thing like that in the works?

Got my stealth case too! I love it. I cant wait to get a soft case(but waiting until dealers recieve some).

The shipping with DHL was amazing, crazy good prices for next day shipments of a rather large box. Seems unreal

Question… How worried should I be about scratching the surface of the aluminum? Currently im being super careful but im wondering if it would mark up from simple things like putting the lid in a pile with my other lids at a show ect.

The 7U Stealth is bad ass.

Got mine last week and have it loaded up. Quality is outstanding. DHL shipping was very fast and reasonable.

Very impressed.

This is probably answered somewhere else but I haven’t found it. Is the 7U 104 case still within carry-on size with the bag? I’m thinking mainly about the US airlines, FAA regulations. I know they’re supposed to be lenient if its a musical instrument but that doesn’t always work.

It does fit in the airline baggage tester thing at the airport. So far I’ve flown with it to LA for NAMM, New York, and Berlin for Superbooth without any issues.

Any ETA on when these will be back in stock with EU dealers? Cheers

OH MY GOD

Just got my second 7U 104 case and was sooooo chuffed to find that the audio jacks and midi jacks have been swapped so the audio is on the right as you look at the case. I know this is the definition of a first world problem but it just feels so right having them there and means I can just use a short cable from my mixer to the output rather than having to loop it around the case handle.

Signal flows from left to right. The outputs are on the right. So happy.

I’m going to egotistically assume this was entirely because of my comment above. :+1:

Jealous, mine is the other way - but I just made my own cables so the modules are the right way around, even if the jacks aren’t.

Yes agree signal flow should have been part of the design decision for the first run of these cases.

when can we expect to see these new versions (preferably black :D) on EU retailers?

curious if I can mount a 2nd 7U 104HP case upside down so the 1U is on the bottom row of the second stack?

You would have to remove the handle on one, but the latches on the top are the same as the ones on the bottom so the joiners would fit.

nice! does anyone have the dimensions of a 104 case with the latches attached? would like to know how much depth it adds to the case.
