Armor Cases, a Sydney-based manufacturer known for designing and producing high-quality protective transport cases, has recently released a new road case specifically built to house the DiGiCo S31 digital mixing console. This new model is part of Armor’s continued commitment to meeting the demands of professionals working in live events, concert touring, theatres, venues, and production environments across Australia and beyond.
The DiGiCo S31 has established itself as a reliable and popular choice among audio engineers and production companies due to its feature-rich design and compact footprint. Recognising the importance of protecting such a high-value console in the field, Armor Cases has engineered a dedicated lift-off lid style case that provides solid physical protection while also supporting practical day-to-day usage.
The case is constructed from 12mm birch veneer plywood, a premium-grade material commonly used in high-end road case construction. Known for its strength and resilience under stress, birch veneer ply adds significant durability while keeping overall weight within practical limits for transport and handling. All hardware used throughout the build is genuine Penn Elcom – a global standard in professional case hardware – ensuring dependable latches, handles, corners and fittings that are ready for life on the road.
This case has been carefully designed not just for protection during transport but also with usability in mind during setup and operation. One of the key design features is a full-size rear dogbox, positioned behind the S31. This compartment allows access to the rear panel of the console for cable management and patching, while also serving as a cover that keeps connectors and wiring protected and out of sight. This solution is particularly valued by professionals who operate in visible or high-traffic environments where clean cable presentation matters.
Another practical inclusion is a general-purpose storage space beneath the mixer platform. This under-console compartment provides ample room for accessories such as power supplies, spare cables, DI boxes, or other small items that need to travel with the console. It reduces the need for additional cases and makes packing and unpacking more efficient at each venue or job site.
For mobility, the case is fitted with four heavy-duty castor wheels. Two of these are braked, allowing users to safely lock the case in position during load-ins, setups, or while stored on trucks or in production areas. The combination of mobility and locking stability is essential for both safety and ease of use, especially when cases are rolled across uneven stages or ramps.
What sets this case apart is not only the build quality and feature set but also the precision with which it has been designed. Like all Armor products, the DiGiCo S31 case is engineered with tight tolerances and attention to detail, ensuring a perfect fit for the console, minimal movement during transit, and long-term reliability. Foam fitment is cut and installed to the same high standard expected from professional-grade touring equipment, with clear internal layout and secure hold of the mixer and components.
Armor Cases continues to build its reputation in the Australian market by offering products that reflect the realities of touring life – tough environments, tight schedules, and expensive gear that can’t afford damage or downtime. This new release for the DiGiCo S31 is aimed squarely at professionals who demand both reliability and usability from their transport solutions.
This case is available now through Armor Cases, with custom branding, internal modifications, and quantity pricing available on request. For more information, visit www.armorcases.com.au or contact the Armor Cases sales team.
