I was wondering to which the degree I would need to invest in shock-proof flightcases and UPS units.

What kind of treatment can a mixrack handle without endangering the unit? I mean, can I trust the mixrack to survive being in a case that’s rolled in on wheels, crossing some doorsteps and some wobbly surfaces or would I better immediately invest in a shockproof flightcase?
The mixrack always turns up in a shockproof case in the ads, on the other hand, our local importer has its demo model (an IDR-48) in a standard case-on-wheels.

What with UPS’s. Only needed for highly critical shows?

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

PS in my case talking about an IDR-32/laptop setup.
