If live sound is your business, then you know that a good case can make the difference between a show going on or being cancelled. Today, hundreds of companies build transport cases and we’ve presented a selection of them. As many companies also provide custom foam cutting and most have case templates for common equipment, a “custom” design for your piece of gear may be fairly simple. And if you want custom colors or graphics, many companies can accommodate your request.
