Topic: How do you carry your microphones?

[Lil Kim Jong-Il]

I carried my KM184s in a hard shell eyeglass case with some foam to fill the extra space and keep them snug.

got this dispenser at home depot

What dept. would i look it for this? 

forget exactly, but i believe i got it at an aisle end.  hand tool area or by hardware

[F.O.Bean]

do the mics ever touch john?

i keep mine in the pelican because i dont want anything scratching the mics, including themselves

[Chuck]

I was thinking about using a tube like that with a separator between the mics...

no, there's spacing between the mics

TLM-170's = $3,700 a pair.  Pelican Case = $30.00

Carrying my mics in a case I can drive my 3/4 Ton Suburban over = PRICELESS!

For saving space, I use a trick my friend GRAY from Florida showed me.....get a traveling tooth paste holder...that has a good secure lid.....you can alter that some what to make a tight fit....add foam to the top, and press some into the long end....add just enough not to put pressure on the caps, and mark which end is the capsule end.....

                                                  This is great for carrying the 140's in a backpack, or my set-up which is a water proof thermal 18 can beer cooler....completely water proof to set on the ground ( Coventry was a great tes FOB) holds dap1,ad2k,v-2 and various batteries and supplies

Another vote for the tupperware and foam option.

One thing I use is a 2 finger leather cigar case. Not good at all for xtra caps, but a perfect fit for any pair of small condenser mics. They usually can be found in different sizes. I use a 50 ring gauge churchill size for my CM700's. Nothing touches and you can even add small cylindrical pieces of foam at the end of each tube length. Inside is plenty soft enough to protect the mics. Hey, there designed to protect your precious Cohiba's. And they leave a very small footprint.

fwiw, you can get the pelican 1060 off of ebay for anywhere from $15-$18 shipped.

Yup, I broke down and just got one on eBay.

If you need to get anything else you can save on some shipping.
I am ordering one tonight from them with a few other misc. items.

Just ordered one from B&H. Looks better than my cigar case.
