Topic: Cigar Caddy by Otterbox - Microphone storage

[digifish_music]

I just got one too (eBay shop)... here's a pair of AT3032s



While the mics are close they don't touch and are wedged tight in place when you close the lid. The box is a lot heavier than I was expecting, good for protection, bad for weight

If you are concerned about the mics clashing in this model you could put a piece of tissue-box cardboard between them, though I can't see this is necessary.

FYI: The AT3032 mics are 21 mm (0.83") in diameter

Any options for storing extra caps as well?

I think we should have gone for a group buy - or got the Vintage Chic dude on the retail section!

I'm regretting I didn't go for the 5 box at the same time.

If you are really concerned about the closeness of a larger diameter mic (21 mm) in a 2 spot box then the 5 spot box is the ticket!!!!  Only a few bucks more and PLENTY of space and not that much larger of a footprint...  Built like a tank!!

I am using the 5 spot boxes for my Gefell MV692's (25 mm) and they fit with PLENTY of room to spare in those boxes...

anyone drill holes in this box to run cables through. Want to know if I can use this instead of a pelican 1060. Is there room for cables? I use km140s

I bought one from Cheap Humidors and it came the day my 10m actives came.  Now I am thinking that I needed the 5 cigar box instead.

The 5 cigar box does the trick for my Gefells...


YMMV

Just ordered one of these using this coupon code. Total came to $18.05 shipped to Canada... that's really nice! Thanks for the tip.

I got one of these otter boxes for my Neumann km184s and they fit great.  The mics nearly touch (like 2mm separating them) but enough separation that I feel fine about it.  Nice find!

Thanks for this thread, I went and purchased the double wide for my AKG480's.  They're a tight fit but work perfectly for taking to the show.  After the show I take them out of the case and store them in my Pelican case and leave the Otter case open so the foam doesn't get perma-squished.

Nice Dan.   +T

I'm rockn' the Pelican 1060 for my 460/61/63s.

I just scored a pair of ck8 short shotgun capsules, but it looks
like they're 215mm long - 8.645" - too long.

suggestions anyone?

I'm interested in same.  I could only come across the following:

Softi-Case for said with Rycote Softie:

Any other box for short shotgun?

Here's my entry for shotgun travel. I have used this approach to store a flute headjoint as well.

This will be an appropriately sized section of PVC with two end caps. I will fit each end of the shotgun with a Windtech wind screen that is a snug fit into the PVC. The end caps stay on great with just a friction fit. [The PVC tube in the photo is from the flute headjoint project, haven't cut the one for the shotgun yet.

BTW, the mount for the shotgun is a bike grip ($6) with a 3/8-16 bolt running through it and into adapters on the AT8415. Certainly cheaper than the Rycote mounts and just as effective with the KTek bands.

I just ordered another 2 and 5 cigar otterboxes from VintageChic. They also offer discounts on first orders.

Use “Welcome New Customer” without the quotes in the redeem coupon slot when you get to that stage on your order for $10 off.

No affiliation, just impressed by their service.

What are folks using for larger LDs like the LSD2? I'm looking at about a 55mm diameter... Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you.


edit: found a ($4) box at Target which is a nice temporary until I can fashion something better. I'll take pics if someone wants.
