No, I didn't construct some new living quarters for man's best friend. In this context a dog house refers to a storage/stowage area for cabling inside the mixer case behind the mixer itself usually on larger concert series boards.
The case for my new (well new to me) 01V showed up on Friday. I intentionally ordered it larger than the console so that I'd have room behind it for cabling and whatnot. My plan was to figure out a way to secure the board in the case so that it would not move around with all that extra room. Ultimately I decide to construct my own custom dog house.
Now I've mentioned on previous occasions my dislike for homemade half-assed looking equipment. So doing this on my own made me a bit nervous. However, having one custom made was going to take at least a month, be extremely expensive and would all be based on measurements taken once (i.e. any mistakes or mis-measurements and the whole thing is junk). Attached are photos of what I came up with (sorry the photo quality isn't better). All in all it turned out exactly as designed and pretty pro looking (based on others that I've seen). So I felt the urge to do a little gear whoring to show it off here.
