Carry your DJ rack gear with no worries with the FRER4 from Odyssey
I like effects. All kinds of effects, visual, sound, in the movies, in my music, they give a little extra embellishment to everything if you’re using them right. They’re not in the least bit necessary for a masterpiece and a really good track or movie may very well happen with no effects whatsoever, but most of the music and movies nowadays aren’t "really good". Not even reasonably good, so effects of all kinds have a large usage in the industry and media, even more so since they serve a commercial and aesthetic reason mostly. Apparently, Odyssey likes effects too, and since they’re dealing with sound, they want to help working DJ keep their effectors safe even while traveling, which is the reason behind the existence of the FRER4 DJ rack.
If you’re a working DJ with some experience in carrying your DJ equipment from one place to the other you know what Odyssey has to offer (even if you have a cool new NS7 to protect) for you and you know why you love them. If you’re a mobile DJ it comes without saying that your entire life and business depends on the quality of Odyssey DJ products, and fortunately, they never let you down, right? Countless DJ equipment reviews talk about how a specific product stands to transport and the harsh life of the mobile DJ, but the truth is none of the stand it for long. That’s why working DJs need Odyssey DJ products and why Odyssey got the name it has now.

The FRER4 DJ rack is just another fabulous DJ product from Odyssey, and any DJ product review appreciating simplicity as well as functionality will testify to that. The FRER4 is made to protect your effectors, and that apparently random succession of letters in the name actually stands for Flight Ready Effects Rack. It’s good enough when you know the FRER4 comes from Odyssey, but being flight ready adds another major advantage for mobile DJs that sometimes (or a lot of times) fly to gigs. The FRER4 can not only withstand the airport baggage roughness, but it’s also built to the standards of the ATA, so DJs will have no trouble with getting their DJ rack accepted.
Although the FRER4 says it’s designed for effectors and effects units, it’s actually more flexible than that. It can just as well carry and protect any other rack mountable gear a DJ may have with the same confidence. The limit to this is 4 units of rack space, and the FRER4 has rack rails on the interior, accessible both from the front and rear, so that yor DJ equipment sits tightly just like in your DJ rack at home.
The regular features Odyssey DJ equipment reviews have used working DJs to are present in the FRER4 as well, including:
- stackable ball corners
- rubber feet for extra padding and protection
- spring loaded handle for easy carrying
- removable front and rear covers providing easy access to your DJ products for wherever
- the depth on the inside of the FRER4 is 13.25" (rail to rail) and 15.875" (rail to cover)
Working DJs can expect the same level of quality and durability from the FRER4 DJ rack as they have come to expect from their Odyssey DJ products in general, so no disappointments there. The main difference with the FRER4 is obvious and it’s about the inside. This DJ product is designed specifically for your DJ rack mountable gear, which you couldn’t really carry otherwise.
