The description says that the space for the mixer in the pop-up section is 8u, however, the line drawing with measurements in the image gallery contradicts this. Are you able to confirm which is correct, please?
Thanks,
Dave.
From the dimensions given, the external measuremtns for the top lid are 590mm x 519mm. Allowing for roughly 20mm loss at each end for the casing depth, the height of the rack space would roughly be 550mm, and the height required for an 8U rack is onlt 356mm, so this should accomodate equipment up to 8U rack spaces quite easily.
Kind Regards
