2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

L-CASE is designed to offer a high level of protection to L-ACOUSTICS amplified controllers during their transport, storage and operation. It can be quickly deployed in flown configurations, or stacked together while maintaining access to the user interface, connectors and display of the amplified controller.

2.1 Shock and vibration protection for 19 inch/2U electronics

L-CASE protects electronics against shocks during transport and handling thanks to its metallic shell, a dual tubular structure assembled and reinforced with 4 soldered U profiles.
Protection against vibrations is ensured by two blocks of ultra-high density foam acting as internal side panels. Securely braced between the two shell tubes, they act as a “silent-block” absorber.

2.2 Easy transport and safe storage

A sleek and ergonomic handle located on one side allows easy transport. The handle is designed not to be too protruding to avoid risks of being hooked to objects.
Opposite to the handle side, 4 riveted feet ensure protection against floor humidity when the rack is upright.

2.3 Easy stacking of multiple units

L-CASE can be conveniently stacked on top of each other. Each L-CASE features front and rear velcro grips wich can be folded and assembled onto the unit .

2.4 Convenient access to cables and user interface during operation

Both L-CASE front and rear tabs can be flipped over to allow access to the electronics user interface and cables during operation, even when several L-CASE units are stacked together.
