I've been using a Pelican 1060 with my naiant akg actives with the extension cable attached, windscreens and caps on. I coil up the cable and it all lays nice in there. I also have room for my schoeps mk5s on KCYs also with screens on. I use a smaller piece of foam across the top to keep them from jostling and close it up. works pretty well but isn't super small.
For just the KCY or the the akg's the smaller pelican like the 1010 is a possibility I've been considering to break up the space used a bit.
would love to see a pic with screens on too
thanks to everyone so far
My cables are...12' pfa and 5' tb with 10' extention
I'll do a pic tonight. I have the 6' tb cables and a 15' extension I had Ted make me. I keep the extension and a schoeps KCY extension separate with other cables so not in this box but I guess I could. Hmmm, not a bad idea actually at least for the akg extension cable. not sure why i haven't tried that yet.
My PFA cables are short, about 2' each maybe? and I keep them in a separate little bag along with my schoeps PFA. I have them if I need them but generally I'm using the actives these days through my tinybox. I do the same with the P48 adapters for tinyboxes. In fact I think I use the little black velvet bags my tinyboxes came in. I bring them with me so I have them if needed but don't use them too often.
I got the PFAs shorter since I can just use an existing XLR pair to go a distance and don't need to carry along a ton more cable just in case.
At a typical gig (i like to run two rigs when I can)
- AKG CK6x/Naiant actives > tinybox cable > extension cable > tinybox > M10
- Schoeps MK5 > KCY > extension cable > tinybox > R-44
- Soundboard > XLR > R-44
so i have the PFAs and P48 adapters in case I need them but generally I don't and they don't take up much space. I do occasionally decide to run stagelip or something where I need a long run and then I'll go for the PFAs so nice to have them. Or if I need to run into another recorder that only has XLR in. it's all about options and not getting yourself stuck.
That's way more info than you were looking for probably but I got going and figured I'd provide context for my decisions.
