GatorGR ATA Shallow Rack Case 3 Space
1/9
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 3-space shallow ATA rack case for short-depth gear. Built for engineers and players hauling wireless receivers, preamps or interfaces to gigs.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Wireless receivers, preamps and other half-depth rack gear
- Touring or weekend gigs where the case gets loaded and unloaded
- Front-of-house racks that need to stay light and portable
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Deep power amps — 12 inches of rail depth is limiting
- Studio racks that never move; a stand costs less
- Anyone needing more than 5.25 inches of rack height
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
12 in. front rail to rear rail
This is a shallow case. Measure your chassis depth including rear connectors — deep amps will not fit.
Detail 03
14.25 in. front rail to rear lid
The extra 2.25 inches behind the rear rail is where cables and plugs live. Right-angle connectors help.
Detail 04
Rear rails included
Heavier units bolt in at both ends instead of hanging off four front screws. Less flex in transit.
Detail 05
10 lb empty
Light for an ATA-style case, so most of the loaded weight will be your gear, not the box.
Detail 06
8.25 x 22 x 16.75 in. exterior
Check trunk and van shelf space — the footprint is wider than the rack opening because of the shell and hardware.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Rack screws and cage nuts are worth confirming before your first load-in
- 02Measure gear depth from the front rail, not the faceplate
- 03Leave a space free if your gear runs hot in a closed lid
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How deep is it really?
12 inches between front and rear rails, and 14.25 inches from the front rail to the rear lid. Deep power amps and large processors will not fit.
02How much gear fits?
Three rack units, or 5.25 inches of front-panel height, in a standard 19-inch rack. Two 1U units and one 2U unit will not fit.
03How heavy is it empty?
10 pounds. Add your gear on top of that when deciding whether one person can carry it up stairs.
04Does it have rear rails?
Yes. Rear rails sit 12 inches behind the front rails, so heavier units can be supported at both ends rather than only at the faceplate.
