Protecting Your Sound System: Choosing Speaker And Subwoofer Flight Cases
Sound systems are at risk of getting damaged during flight. Without proper protection, these items are also susceptible to dust and moisture during transport from the airport to the concert or venue. Choosing the speaker flight case is essential for any studio or sound crew, which this guide will teach.
Essential Guide to Speaker Flight Case
Shocks, moisture, and dust are elements that should be addressed by a speaker flight case. In addition, flight case speakers must secure all equipment from theft during transport. Here are key features to consider when choosing a case:
Durable Shells
Air travel can be tough on loudspeakers and subs. Cases get slid across ramps, stacked under lighting trunks, and dropped off dollies. A plywood shell with black laminate resists crushing, abrasion, and material deformation. It spreads impact across the panel and prevents splinters from breaking the foam, ensuring the equipment is safe throughout transport.
Interior Foam System
Turbulence and unusual movement can rattle drivers and bend grilles. Closed-cell PE or EVA foam absorbs shocks while preventing the equipment from moving inside the speaker flight case. Durable rubber further prevents vibrations from reaching sensitive parts of the speaker or subwoofer. These protective measures are also essential when the crew moves the equipment by hand from the vehicle towards the operation site.
Security Latches
Unreliable latches are costly on tour. A lid that opens during transportation can cause severe damage to speakers and subwoofers. Recessed butterfly twist latches lock the lid into the tongue and groove, so vibration and belt shocks do not open a subwoofer flight case. The recessed cup sits flush to avoid snags and side hits. Latches made of steel and reinforced latches are important security features to prevent theft.
