This case is the closest fitting mixer case I have owned (this is my 5th full mixer case, and I regularly use many from hire companies for larger shows). The result of this is that, although the lid must be positioned carefully to get it to sit properly, the mixer is fully protected on all sides. When handling the case whilst loaded, no movement at all can be felt within. This makes me very confident when moving the loaded case that the mixer will be just as I left it when I arrive at the gig!
