After over 10 years of designing bespoke rigs for the likes of The Chemical Brothers, Bicep, Disclosure, Burna Boy, Pendulum, Massive Attack, Floating Points, Little Simz and many more, Gravity Rigs have announced the launch of the Carry On Range.
Offered as an off-the-shelf alternative to their custom systems, the new line-up includes a collection of pre-built performance and playback systems which the company say leverage their years of top-level rig design and worldwide industry experience.
The new ultra-portable, aeroplane cabin-friendly rigs come in a selection of sizes, each designed to meet different needs and budgets. They will be available as an off-the-shelf solution for the first time, providing solo artists, bands and DJs with a reliable playback solution for everything from intimate venues to large-scale productions and performances. Gravity Rigs say that reliability, durability and protection were at the forefront of their design process, with each model in the Carry On range offering impeccable operation night after night, as well as benefitting from secure transportation over land and sea.
Carry On Range
Here’s a quick look at what’s on offer from each model in the new series:
Carry On 24
Said to be the ideal choice for artists who want a tight, integrated relationship between playback, live instruments and vocal processing in a portable form factor. It comes with 24 analogue outputs, four analogue inputs, multiple USB ports, two Network MIDI ports and assignable front panel buttons for stage-wide connectivity.
Carry On 64
A digital‐only system built around high‐end broadcast‐standard hardware and ultra‐reliable drivers, designed for shows where high-channel-count audio routing is paramount. It delivers expansive MADI I/O options for a powerful, scalable backbone with complex routing, redundancy and complete integration with modern consoles and stage infrastructures.
Carry On 12
A compact playback rig that combines dual‐computer switching and 12 channels of analogue output with MIDI switching and integrated network connectivity. It comes with a full rack space free for additional equipment to meet a show’s audio, MIDI or video requirements. An affordable, customisable and upgradable option.
Carry On Zero
A stripped-back case and sleeve option. An airport‐friendly, cabin‐compatible and road-tested rack system for artists and engineers who have their own kit but need a tough, intelligently laid‐out home for it on the road.
Each rig comes fitted in a hard-wearing, watertight and ultra-protective case, with Gravity Rigs opting for a model that incorporates thicker custom foam and offers significantly more shock protection than anything else on the market — helpfully, the case is also designed to allow the storage of two laptops. Everything is assembled at Gravity Rigs’ own facility, and all of the designs boast high-quality cabling and paneling, along with a fully modular design that allows for easy future expansion and upgrades.
