DJ Flightcase - A brief overview
Whether you're a DJ in your spare time or have turned your hobby into a profession, the right equipment matters. Not only the right mixer and a high-quality turntable, but also a sturdy DJ case are essential for a DJ's setup. We'll show you what to consider when choosing a suitable case.
DJ Cases Size & More: What to look for in DJ equipment cases
In general, a DJ case refers to a sturdy suitcase that can efficiently store all the essential tools of a DJ. The classic case is usually made of lightweight metal, such as aluminum, but combo models made partly of particleboard are also available. Inside, the case is often lined with foam padding.
DJ flight cases come in various sizes and are chosen based on their intended use. Some models are so compact that they only offer enough space for CDs and vinyl records, while others are large enough to accommodate entire mixers in a case or turntables. A set flight case provides room for a complete DJ setup. This can either be a flight case for a set consisting of 2 CD or media players combined with a DJ mixer or a set of 2 turntables and a mixer. With a set flight case, all your DJ equipment for the next party is safely stored in a single flight case.
Quality and Features
It's important that the model can be securely locked and is impact-resistant from the outside. Only this ensures that the contents remain undamaged. Our flight cases from the Zomo NSE Series are equipped with extra secure butterfly latches and sturdy ball corners to guarantee the highest protection for your valuable equipment. Additional protection is provided when the interior is lined with foam padding.
For easy transport, a DJ case should have sturdy handles that make carrying it more comfortable. It may also be useful to choose a model with wheels, which can be easily pulled, even when it weighs several kilograms.
If you're looking for a DJ case with a laptop shelf, you're in the right place with the Zomo PLUS Series. These are DJ cases with a laptop holder, providing an integrated, practical solution to keep your laptop within view during your performance or session.

The case rack - what is it exactly?
The case rack is a great alternative if you desire flexibility above all else. DJs often need to be readily available in today's time and quickly transport their equipment from one place to another when they are booked. Here, it makes sense to store the essential components of your setup in a practical case rack.
Cases that can accommodate a complete DJ setup are also popular. In these forms, two turntables or CD/media players and a mixer, along with accessories and essential CDs, are safely stored.
This is a combination of a rack and a case - it's not only compact but also provides optimal carrying comfort and ample storage space. The individual components of the setup are already pre-assembled and only need to be transported to the venue. Some racks even come with a fold-out DJ table, where you can place your turntables and equipment. The choice between these options depends on individual preferences as a DJ. It may also be wise to invest in both a high-quality DJ case and a case rack to be prepared for all scenarios.
DJ case buying guide: What to consider before making a purchase
Before choosing a specific DJ flight case or a case rack, it's important to ask yourself a few questions to determine which transport solution is right for you. For example, consider how often you need to transport your equipment and how sturdy it should be, especially for longer distances. Trolleys with wheels are usually the better solution for larger distances, as they can be easily pulled. Also, consider what you want to transport: Sometimes, you may not need to carry your entire setup but just a few records from one place to another. The size of a DJ case should be chosen accordingly.
Lastly, keep in mind that whether you opt for a DJ case or a case rack, the chosen transport solution should be stable, well-crafted, and above all, capable of handling heavy loads, so that you can ideally use it for several years. It's worth comparing different models before making a purchase to find the right companion.
