does anybody know a good alternative to the expensive neumann cherry wooden boxes??
I keep mine in a Neumann TLM103 flight case, along with the shock mounts, swivel mounts and screens. Case is foam cutout for 103's, but the molded blocks lift out to reveal a cutout inside that fits the U89 perfectly.
Unfortunately, you cannot buy the molded foam inserts for the U89's separately... >:(
can you buy one of those flight cases seperatly?? and if so, wouldn't that prolly cost as much as 2 of the cherry boxes??
I think if you look around you can get them for about $175 or so. I got mine on Ebay for $150.
I have a single vintage Gotham box and I wanted another one, but I don't want the new wood boxes. The Gotham boxes have rubberized cutouts inside that won't degrade like the foam will. Since I haven't found a second Gotham box yet, I figured "what the hell".
As far as cost goes, in my mind it's worth it for these mics. I wouldn't feel the same way if they were ADKs or 414's. I'd just buy a pelican.

thanks for the info!!! i guess the flight case would work well since it would hold those huge shocks too!!
off to check ebay................

Pelican cases are outstanding, airtight and water resistant.

That looks about right. I ordered one for my u87s, well see! Thanks for the reminder, btw.

I havde a Pelican 1560... that is set for travel.. it meets FAA standards...
I also have a mini-pelican..not sure of the # but it is the largests and it holds just the mics very nicely..
Have pictures if you are interested.
