Step 4 –Get the lid (Part G) and place on top. Behind the
lid (Part G) are the hinges that is attached to Back
Horizontal Plate (Part I) using a screw as shown in Figure

side panels screw in the L-Brackets for a more secure
back horizontal plate. (See Figure 8). Attach the four “L”
brackets. The front “L” brackets should be attached 1”
(2.5cm) from the top. The back “L” brackets should be
attached 2” (5cm) from the top.
Step 5 –Turn the stand to the side, at the base (Part A)
measure and divide to three sections. Measuring from
the front, the leading edge of the bracket closest to the
front should be 6”(15.2cm) and the leading edge of the
bracket closest to the back should be 13”(33cm). This is
where you will drill and screw in the L-Brackets. Do the
same step on the other side as seen on Figure 9. Also,
while the stand laying on one side you can install the
chrome corner brackets as shown in Figure 10.

Your rack case has many great features. Let’s talk about
a couple. To use the locking latch, simply turn the knob
on the bottom half of the latch counter clockwise until
the latch is fully extended. Then push the latch forward
until the latch goes into the slot on the upper half of the
latch found on the lid. Then turn the knob clockwise to
hold it in place. It even comes with a place you can put a
lock on your case. The front panel and back panel can be
removed for easy access to your equipment. The back
panel even has a hole for running your cables through
for a nicer and neater looking setup.
Please note that if your mixer is smaller than the minimum
capacity of the top shelf, you will need a wider rack ears to
be able to mount your mixer. Place heavy equipment at
the bottom and lighter equipment at the top. See Figure
15 for how a mixer should look like installed.
Two of your casters have locking wheels. To use the locks,
simply push down on the “brake” that sticks out from the
wheel. To release the “brake” just pull up on it. This is a
great feature that you’ll be using often. Your DEQ-02
comes with pre-installed rack mount brackets and the
screws to install your equipment. Use the included screws
to attach the “wings” of your rack mount equipment to the
rack rails. The top will hold a “flat” or “slider” sound board.
