Denon MC6000 Flight Case

[ian8limelight]

Following on from this thread earlier this year, and with a few more of us having purchased a Denon MC6000, I would be interested to know what your opinions/choices are of the various flight cases available.

1. Which one do you use
2. Do you have the 'sliding tray' for the laptop or not
3. If not, where do you put your laptop, and why (i.e. why don't you use the 'sliding tray')

I use the swan flight case with the sliding tray I did cut of about 50mm of the back of the tray I find the tray too big and made up two small angled brackets these screw into two rack mounting nuts that sit just above the mixer and the tray then sits on these this way my laptop sits nice and tight to the mixer and reduces the overhang

1. Which one do you use

Personally I use this one the ADJ club mixer case from disco World

2. Do you have the 'sliding tray' for the laptop or not


No. I did initially buy the Swanflight case with the sliding tray but didn't get on with it (see below).




3. If not, where do you put your laptop, and why (i.e. why don't you use the 'sliding tray')


My laptop goes on the inverted case lid just to the left of the MC6000. I found with the case with the sliding tray that was bought first didn't sit right on my DSB ie: it was too wide for the shelf and there was a good chance of the whole thing getting knocked off. Also I found that the laptop was now visible above the booth and that I was over stretching to reach the keyboard.

Just found a pic to illustrate it for you. The netbook now sits at more of an angle and you'll also probably work out that I'm left handed ;)

Here's mine. The netbook has velcro on the bottom and so does the 1U blanking plate and it's been fine since April, but decided to fall off last night! Boo!

Mine is the Swan with laptop shelf, but without the shelf if you see what I mean!

Darren,

Am I right in saying that, instead of the laptop shelf, you have a blanking plate and the 'netbook' is velcrosed into place on that?

Yep, though as I said, it did fall off last night. I just need to re-adjust the velcro etc

Interesting concept, I like that ;)

In the photo it appears that the netbook is raised slightly above the MC6000; is this my eyes :daft: or is there a "cunning plan" there ?

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Er...not sure what you mean?

The netbook is on a blanking plate at the top of the case.

Swanflight Case - you can also fit your wireless mic receiver in the box
No Slider - too bulky
Crane Laptop stand - plenty of adjustment on angles etc.

Love it.

I've just bought one of these to try instead of the velcro. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220700718027&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_1488wt_962

I'm not sure it's going to stick to the metal blanking plate now though! I can get a disc to mount it on though, if it doesn't work.

Does the anti slip mats not work Darren that people have in cars etc ?

How do you stick that to metal? Glue?

Dont have to stick it (unless you wanted to which id say a hot glue gun might stick it)

Its non slip both sides, ive seen it being used in cars for all sorts of things.

Ah, I see. I've seen them advertised. I'm not sure about balancing a netbook on it though? :confused:

Thanks for the update Darren.

Which netbook are you using, and I assume that you use it for playout (with the laptop as a backup) ?
