XL R2 is presented in a large eco-friendly double reinforced cardboard box. Just lifting the box alludes to XL R2’s characteristics, manoeuvring it can be quite tricky due to the sheer weight. There is an illustration of the case on the front whilst the back has a diagram pinpointing significant features.

Inside, the case is covered in a clear plastic sheet and held in place via dual polystyrene pillars to ensure a safe arrival to the destination.



Taking the XL R2 out of its box we instantly see a resemblance to the XL and indeed other cases which are centred around Scandinavian elegance. In fact, XL R2 looks very similar to the Define R4. That balance of silence and minimalism is clearly a fundamental underpinning with the design of XL R2. Both side panels are solid, except the prominent side has a 140mm cut-out for mounting a cooling fan. This slot has been given ModuVent treatment to assist with keeping noise levels to an absolute minimum. Both side panels are significantly thick anyway and have been furnished with synthetic noise damping material to maximise noise reduction.
