Transport case for the Mask1EX MK2?
icaria36 | Hi, what the title says. I just bought a Mask1EX MK2 and a main motivation is to bring it to places thanks to its small size and versatile sounds. But it also looks fragile (?) and in any case it is better to carry it in a case. Do you have a recommendation that protects the synth and doesn't add too much bulk, so it still fits in a regular backpack? |
Avi F | Since the dimensions are 11.7"x4.0"x2.2", the two I found that may be good are either the DCB Cases Element 4802F, or the SKB 3I-1706-6 hard shell cases with foam. In usd they're between 80 and 120 dollars. |
| icaria36 | Thank you for your recommendations! Hm... I was thinking about a lighter type of case that I can put in my backpack, not a hard case that is the case to carry.My goal is to carry in my back this synth, my Oki One MK2 (comes with a case) and a few cables to connect everything. I realize the Mask1EX is way taller than an Oxi and your regular keyboard / pad / desktop synth, which perhaps complicates the choices. Hm. Since this is mostly for commutes within my city (i.e. no airport checks) maybe I can DIY something with plastic bubble wrap, at least in the interim. |
OutOfCheese | I just got my "masque un" ex mk2 and ordered a "reloop premium modular bag XT" on amazon. It may be slightly too large but that's easier to fix than slightly too tight. I'll let you know the results (it's expected on Mon/Tue). |
| OutOfCheese | The reloop bag thing fits a bit better than I thought but not perfectly. The mask1ex mk2 has about 1 cm to wiggle in the X direction and about 2 cm to wiggle in the Y. The space occupied by the synth (and the wall wart as well) was filled with foam bricks that I'll cut to size and use to reduce the wiggle to zero. I think all in all it's a very good fit for a case that wasn't purpose built for the mask1ex mk2. So if you're looking for a case that also fits the power adapter and a few cables and doesn't necessarily have to fit like a glove then that's it. EDIT: the price was 30,80€ on the german amazon - I'd say more than affordable. |
