FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this flight case?

The primary benefit is its customizable interior foam that securely holds a wide variety of turntable models, offering excellent protection during transport and storage.

Is the foam interior permanently fixed?

No, the interior foam consists of multiple pads that can be arranged and rearranged to accommodate different turntable sizes and shapes.

Can this case fit my XYZ turntable model?

The case is designed for universal fit and accommodates many popular models. Please check the list of compatible models in the 'Compatibility' section, or measure your turntable and compare it to the internal dimensions of the case.

How durable is the plywood casing?

The casing is constructed from 9mm thick vinyl-laminated plywood, reinforced with aluminium strips and sturdy ball corners, designed to withstand shocks and bumps.

Can I stack multiple cases?

Yes, the stackable ball corners are designed to allow for secure stacking of multiple cases.

What kind of maintenance does the case require?

The exterior can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The interior foam should be brushed free of dust. Avoid water or harsh chemicals on the foam.

Does the case include foam for accessories like needles or cartridges?

The product description focuses on turntable protection; it does not specify dedicated compartments or foam for accessories. You may need separate storage for these items.

Troubleshooting

Turntable feels loose inside the case

Reconfigure the foam pads to provide a tighter fit. Add or rearrange pads to eliminate any empty space around the turntable.

Case latches are stiff or difficult to close

Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the latches from closing. Check that the foam is not excessively pushing against the lid. A small amount of lubricant on the latch mechanism may help over time.

Exterior scuff marks or minor damage

Minor scuffs on the vinyl-laminate can often be cleaned with a damp cloth. For deeper scratches, consider them part of the case's 'road-worn' character; structural integrity is usually unaffected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your turntable, first remove the flight case from its packaging. Open the case and identify the included foam pads. Arrange these pads inside the case to create a custom fit for your specific turntable model. Experiment with different configurations to ensure the turntable is held snugly and securely, with no significant lateral or vertical movement. Ensure the lid can close without putting excessive pressure on the turntable's controls.

Compatibility: This case is designed to be multi-format. It is confirmed to fit models including, but not limited to: Pioneer PLX-1000, Technics 1200/1210 MK2/MK5, Reloop RP-8000/7000/6000/2000, Stanton ST-150, Vestax PDX 3000, Numark TTX, Audio Technica LP120-USB/LP1240-USB, American Audio Power Drive 2.2, Mixars LTA. Always measure your turntable if it is not explicitly listed to ensure it will fit within the case dimensions.

Care: To clean the exterior, use a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the interior foam, use a soft brush to remove dust and debris. Do not use water or cleaning agents on the foam as it can degrade the material. Store the case in a dry environment when not in use.
