  • the spaced apart fixing devices 16 also allow in this embodiment, a quick attachment or detachment of the sound engineering Device on the bottom portion 12 of the shell 11, so that with just a few simple steps falling out of the sound engineering device from the casing 11 is prevented. At the same time, the fixing devices 16 ensure further stabilization of the sound engineering device during transport. Overall, should be based on the of the embodiment described in FIG. 4, care should be taken that the Sleeve is essentially adapted to the dimensions of the sound engineering device, so that the fixing devices prevent the device from falling out in the removal direction A can safely prevent.
