There are many hazards your audio equipment can face on the road. Physical shock from drops or bumps, electrostatic discharge and overheating are just a few. Fortunately, Encore A&S has engineered solutions to these and other problems you might encounter while touring.
To deal with physical shock, we offer our shock mount cases. They feature the same industrial grade materials as our standard cases, with the addition of a 2” layer of shock-absorbing foam between the interior ½” plywood shell and the outer wall. Road-tested and engineered to withstand the toughest conditions, Encore A&S’s shock mount cases will keep your most delicate equipment safe and secure.
Electrostatic discharge can be avoided by first touching the metal frame of your case before touching your equipment. Developing this simple habit will protect your rack-mounted electronics from damage by static discharge.
Overheating is the most common type of damage that happens to rack mounted equipment, and there are three possible causes. First, the electronics might have been able to fit into the rack, but they were packed so tight that no space was available for air circulation to help cool the equipment.
Second, no venting was specified when the case was built. Third, no fans were installed to keep air moving whenever the case’s electronics were in use.
You won’t have this problem with one of our cases. Made to measure for your equipment, you’ll have adequate space within the rack for air to circulate. We’ll also put vents in the case to help with air movement and install fans to keep air circulating. Those three steps, taken together, will keep your electronics from overheating.
