Hiya.

1U is 1.75 inches (4.45cm) and the opening is 17.72 inches (45cm), so just multiply to get the amount of U - so 6U is 10.5 in, etc. (The opening width never changes!) I used to have a tape measure marked up with 1U increments for working with racks.

Looking at the dimensions of the mixer, it will need a custom foam lined flightcase and won't rackmount due to the width.
