ProX XS-BLAQ10U14 BLAQ 10U Vertical Amp Rack Case — Polyurea-Coated Protection for 19" Gear
Built for serious rack protection with a modern, tour-ready finish: the ProX XS-BLAQ10U14 from the BLAQ Series is a 10U vertical amplifier rack case designed for standard 19" rack-mount equipment—amplifiers, mixers, processors, network gear, microphone receivers, and pro audio essentials that need secure transport and clean presentation.
What makes the BLAQ Series different: a textured, non-slip polyurea sprayed coating engineered for rugged handling. The finish is described as impact-resistant and scratch-resistant, and engineered not to chip, crack, peel, or flake—delivering a professional black textured look that fits touring, studio, and control-room environments.
Purpose-built construction for real-world movement: industry-grade birch plywood, heavy-duty rack rails, and dual rack mounting rails designed to minimize strain on rack ears and help prevent gear shift in transport. With front and rear removable lids, you get fast access for setup and cable management, while rubber protective feet add stability and support safer stacking for mobile and fixed applications.

BLAQ Polyurea Coating: Non-Slip Texture with Tour-Grade Wear Resistance
The XS-BLAQ10U14 is built around a textured polyurea sprayed exterior designed for demanding handling. The coating is described as impact- and scratch-resistant and engineered not to chip, crack, peel, or flake, helping the case keep a professional look across repeated load-ins, trailer rides, and stage resets.
- Grip-minded texture: non-slip surface feel for more confident handling.
- Durability focus: built to take abuse where standard finishes show wear quickly.
- Presentation: sleek black textured look for studio, stage, and control-room use.
Dual Rack Rails: Better Support for Heavy Amplifiers and Dense Rack Builds
Dual rack mounting rails are designed to minimize strain on rack ears and reduce the chance of gear shifting during transport—especially valuable when your 10U build includes heavier amps, power distribution, or tightly packed processing chains.
- Strain reduction: intended to take stress off rack ears during movement.
- Transport stability: supports a more secure mounted posture for gear.
- Clean rack face: helps keep alignment consistent across your stack.
Front/Rear Lid Access: Faster Setup and Cleaner Cable Management
Front access supports quick checks. Rear access supports reality: power, audio, networking, and strain relief. With removable lids on both ends, you can keep the rack closed for transport and open only what you need on-site for faster setup and cleaner cable workflow.
- Front workflow: quick visual and control access for show readiness.
- Rear workflow: cable management, labeling, and connection verification without pulling gear.
- Service-friendly: faster changes when time is tight.
Stackable Footprint: Rubber Feet for Stability in Mobile and Installed Environments
Rubber protective feet are designed to enhance stability and support safe stacking of multiple units, helping keep rack rows organized for mobile production rigs and fixed installations alike.
- Stability: improved base grip for safer staging and storage.
- Stacking support: easier multi-rack workflows for production and DJ systems.
- Cleaner footprint: keeps rack placement more disciplined in tight spaces.
Right-Sized 10U Build: More Rack Space Without Losing Deployability
The 10U format gives you room to expand a full signal chain—amps, processing, wireless, and networking—while maintaining a deployable footprint with a 14" rail depth target and accessible lids at both ends.
- More capacity: better fit for larger rigs that outgrow smaller racks.
- Structured access: supports front/rear workflow for faster turns.
- Professional rack presence: built to look clean where the rack is visible.
How to Deploy ProX XS-BLAQ10U14 in the Field
Plan your rack layout around both access points: keep front-facing controls readable for quick checks, and build the rear cabling so it stays organized when lids are removed for setup. The front and rear removable lids are designed for faster cable management and faster show-day troubleshooting.
- Confirm fit up front: this case is built for standard 19" rack gear with a 14" rail-to-rail mounting depth target.
- Mount for stability: use the dual rails to support heavier rack gear and keep the build more secure during transport.
- Build the rear with discipline: label power, audio, and network lines so changes are faster in dark rooms and tight booths.
- Stage for access: place the rack so rear lid removal is possible during setup—especially for patching and network troubleshooting.
- Stack smart: leverage the rubber feet and stable base when stacking multiple racks for production rows.
- Handle with intention: at 35.00 lbs and 19.25" H x 18.25" W x 20.75" L, plan safe carries and clean staging lanes during load-in.
Build your rack once, label it clean, and use the front/rear lids to arrive on-site with a 10U system that deploys fast and stays organized.
