10U Size: The "10U" in the description refers to the number of rack units (U) the case can accommodate. In professional audio and music equipment, rack units are a standard measurement used to describe the height of gear that can be mounted within the case. One rack unit is equal to 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) in height. So, a 10U case will have a vertical space of approximately 17.5 inches (444.5 mm) to accommodate the power amplifier and other equipment.
ABS Plastic Construction: The case is made from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic, a lightweight yet durable material commonly used in equipment cases. ABS plastic offers good impact resistance, making it suitable for protecting valuable and sensitive audio equipment during transport and storage.
Power Amplifier Housing: The primary purpose of this case is to house and protect a power amplifier. Power amplifiers are essential components in audio systems as they amplify low-level audio signals to a level suitable for driving loudspeakers or other audio devices.
Rack-mountable Design: The case is designed to be rack-mountable, meaning it can be securely mounted within a standard audio equipment rack. Rack-mountable cases allow for easy integration of various audio components in a compact and organized manner.
Front and Rear Panels: The case typically features removable front and rear panels to provide access to the controls, inputs, and outputs of the power amplifier. These panels can be easily taken off during setup and maintenance, allowing for convenient access to the amplifier's connections.
Latches and Handles: To ensure secure closure and easy transport, the case may come equipped with latches to keep the front and rear panels in place when the case is closed. Additionally, sturdy handles are usually included to facilitate carrying the case from one location to another.
Ventilation: Since power amplifiers can generate heat during operation, the case may have built-in ventilation features or fans to dissipate heat and keep the amplifier running at optimal temperatures.
