Yamaha DM5 Tour Grade Three Piece Case w/Doghouse
The LM Cases Yamaha DM5 Tour Grade Road Case is engineered for professional concert touring, live sound production, and rental applications. Designed as our standard Tour Grade solution for the Yamaha DM5 digital mixing console, this case combines heavy-duty construction, custom-engineered console protection, and practical handling features developed around the demands of touring professionals.
Built using our traditional three-piece console case design, the case features a removable top lid, removable front nose, and protective console tray. This configuration allows the Yamaha DM5 to remain securely positioned in its case during operation while providing unrestricted access to the console's controls and operating surfaces.
Custom-Engineered Console Protection
The interior features precision CNC-cut, non-abrasive Crosslink polyethylene foam contoured to the shape of the Yamaha DM5 console. Crosslink foam is used at direct contact points to provide a secure fit while helping protect the mixer's finish during transportation.
Additional polyethylene (PE) and Ester foam are incorporated throughout the interior in areas that do not directly contact the console. This combination of foam materials provides structural support and cushioning, helping protect the mixer from movement and impacts during repeated loading, unloading, and transportation.
Professional Tour Grade Doghouse
The integrated rear doghouse is manufactured from 3/4" Baltic Birch plywood with a durable black textured finish. Unlike a basic cable storage compartment, the doghouse is designed to provide an organized and accessible workspace behind the console.
A hinged top lid utilizes 270-degree hinges, allowing the lid to fold completely out of the way during operation. A rear vented access door features Southco slam latches, providing convenient access to cable connections and equipment while allowing ventilation through the rear of the assembly.
Two retractable headphone hangers are incorporated into the doghouse, keeping headphones readily accessible during operation without permanently extending beyond the case.
Engineered for Professional Touring Crews
One of the distinguishing features of LM Cases' Tour Grade console cases is the attention given to handling and transportation.
This Yamaha DM5 case incorporates 20 strategically positioned deep recessed handles, each serving a practical purpose during loading, unloading, setup, and operation.
Dedicated handles in the removable top lid help technicians control the case when tipping it off its casters for placement onto an EZ-Tilt stand or equipment table. Additional lift handles provide gripping locations for four-person handling when navigating door thresholds and other obstacles, while ramp handles allow the case to be pulled or repositioned during loading.
Four recessed handles are integrated into the console tray, allowing the Yamaha DM5 to be repositioned while remaining in its protective tray after the removable lids have been detached.
This approach reflects the way LM Cases designs equipment protection around the entire touring workflow, not simply transportation between locations.
Heavy-Duty Baltic Birch Caster Board & Protective Runners
Four heavy-duty 4" Colson casters are mounted to a full-size caster board manufactured from 3/4" Baltic Birch plywood.
Baltic Birch is a premium plywood material selected for its strength, stability, and durability. Using this material for the caster board provides a robust foundation for one of the most heavily stressed components of a touring road case.
The underside of the console tray also features 1/2" marine-grade plastic runners. These runners protect tables and equipment stands from contact with the case's metal hardware while providing a smooth surface for sliding the case onto an EZ-Tilt stand or similar support.
American-Made Tour Grade Construction
The case exterior is constructed from 1/2" plywood laminated with your choice of ABS plastic colors and reinforced with professional touring hardware.
The combination of custom foam protection, a Baltic Birch doghouse, heavy-duty caster system, protective plastic runners, and strategically positioned handles creates a road case designed for the daily demands of professional audio production.
As the standard model in our Yamaha DM5 Tour Grade series, this case provides the essential construction and operational features needed for professional touring without the additional workstation accessories found on our flagship Triad-Orbit Ready configuration.
For applications requiring expanded monitor mounting, modular accessory integration, or additional workspace features, LM Cases also offers a fully equipped Yamaha DM5 Tour Grade configuration.
Designed and manufactured in the USA by LM Cases.
