The 1456FE2BKBU is a 15-degree sloped aluminum console from the 1456 Series with a black top panel and a textured blue case. It is a 6.50 in wide, 5.50 in deep console with a 15-degree slope, 1.10 in high at the front and 2.00 in at the rear. The wider 6.50 in top gives space for more switches, knobs or a display than the 4 in models while keeping a low 2.00 in rear height.

The case is made from 12 gauge aluminum (0.081 in, 2 mm) and the top from 14 gauge aluminum (0.064 in). The unit is sold pre-assembled, and the purchased assembly includes the case, cover, 4 cover screws and 4 rubber feet, so it arrives with the required mounting hardware and self-adhesive rubber feet. The recommended cover screw torque is 150-175 cN-m (13.3-15.5 lbf-in).

Its listed size is 5.5 in x 6.5 in x 2 in (140 mm x 165 mm x 51 mm): 6.50 in (165 mm) wide, 5.50 in (140 mm) deep, 2.00 in (51 mm) high at the rear and 1.10 in (28 mm) at the front. The listed colour is blue, referring to the case. Shipping weight is 0.94 lbs (0.43 kg), and it ships in shrink wrap.

The same 15-degree FE2 size is also offered as 1456FE2WHBU and 1456FE2BKBK in other top and case colour combinations.
