I dont know if that word is spelled right.... anyway, im having someone build me a custom coffin for my stuff and he wants to stack my ttm 56 on top of my ssl box..... is that ok? will that mess up any airflow on the ssl box or the rane mixer? any of you rane guys know? Any quick responses would be appreciated.... He wants to get started tomorrow..... thanks for your time......PT

Don't think so, but I can't be sure.

IMHO the SSL box doesn't need a lot of airflow. There are no really power consuming parts in it and it is build pretty solid...

I have my ssl box built into my coffin, in the space under my mixer and its fine. I too was a little conerned about things over heating, but i used it for a few hours then lifted the mixer up and SSL wasn't even slightly warm.

So i'd say go for it.

I'm also looking in to a case/coffin for travel. Carry on (to a plane) size would be good but I'm not sure if all power adaptors, cables boxes, h-drive, laptop etc would fit in it.

Anyone know of any websites to check. I have looked at Pelican and they seem good but pretty chunky. Having wheels would be great too.
