Mixer Gig Bags
The easiest way to choose a mixer gig bag is simply to pick out a case designed for your specific model. For instance, if you have a Mackie mixer, there are tons of options including the Mackie ProFX12 / DFX12 Bag, the Mackie SRM450 / C300z Bag and the Gig Bag for Mackie DL1608 iPad Mixer. Not only do all of these gig bags provide a customized fit for their respective mixers; they're also great examples of what a good gig bag offers: lightweight materials and loads of carrying options for easy transportation, plus plenty of nooks and crannies to store your accessories.
Don't sweat it if there isn't a gig bag here designed for the mixer you own - that just means you'll be looking for a universal case instead. All you have to do is take your mixer's measurements, then match them to the best-fitting bag. There are a few brands to keep an eye on in these cases, and the one you'll see most often is probably SKB. Their flagship Universal Equipment/Mixer Bag comes in a wide range of sizes, from the 1SKB-UB0909 to the 1SKB-UB2020. Another suggestion would be the GigSkinz Mixer/Utility Bag, which is sized in small, medium and large.
No matter which mixer gig bags appeal to you the most, you can't go wrong with anything found in this section. It's just a matter of finding the best fit for the hardware you own, and once your new gig bag arrives at your door, it'll be ready to handle the day-to-day job of protecting your mixer. Transporting it from gig to gig will be a total cinch, and you'll have peace of mind knowing that it will always arrive safely.
