Apologies if I’ve missed it but can’t seem to find if the CQ20B with rack ears will be 3 or 4u?

The CQ-20B rack kit mounts the unit with the sockets parallel to the rack rails.
The height of the CQ-20B in this orientation is 176.8mm or 7" so 4U is required.

Thanks,
Keith.

I recently built my rack for the CQ-20. I used the “Gator G-PRO-6U-13 Pro Series Shallow Rack Case”. You can see it here along with a Phenyx Pro PTM-10 IEM transmitter and CyberPower CPS1215RMS power strip. This leaves me 1 more open U position in which I could install a wireless mic receiver. I am concerned about ventilation and whether the side mount fan (of the CQ20) will be able to handle this; especially when used outdoors. All suggestions welcome.

I am looking to also use the Gator G-PRO-6U-13 Pro Series Shallow Rack Case for my cq-20b. Has this worked out ok? Do the handles fit inside the lid? Any concerns with lack of airflow when in use? Thanks much!
