Armor Cases, based in Sydney, continues its commitment to high-standard transport solutions with the release of a new road case specifically designed for the Yamaha QL1 digital mixing console. Known for producing reliable and precisely engineered cases for the professional production market, Armor’s latest addition is aimed at audio professionals who require both protection and functionality from their equipment transport solutions.
The new QL1 case is constructed from 9mm birch veneer plywood and fitted with Penn Elcom hardware, delivering long-lasting durability suitable for the demands of concert touring, theatre work, and venue installations. The case is purpose-built as an audio console mixer case, offering a compact and lightweight footprint while maintaining structural strength.
Designed with operational efficiency in mind, the case features a lift-off lid and a low base profile. This allows the console to remain within the case during use, eliminating the need for setup and repacking between events. Underneath the console, integrated storage space accommodates cables and other essential accessories, helping to keep gear organized and accessible.
Internally, the console is protected by precision-cut EVA foam, custom-fitted to the QL1’s profile to minimize movement and impact during transport. The case is further supported by ergonomically placed handles, making it easier for crews to handle in load-ins and outs.
This release is intended for professional users of the Yamaha QL1—freelancers, audio rental companies, and live production teams—who value robust protection, efficient handling, and a build quality that matches the standard of the equipment it protects.
