Brian Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 A while back I asked about storing small adaptors and the like. I'm now looking to tidy up my mic storage, along with stand clips and pop shields and similar bits. At the moment I use a Gator 16-hole mic case a bit like this... ...plus some original manufacturers boxes. I'd like to bring them all into one or two cases; I need about 20 mic's worth of storage. The Gator case holds the 'SM58' style mics, the cylindrical mics and tom clip-ons live in their original cases. The problem, in my head, with the Gator case is all the accessories live in a big pile in the case. I *think* my options are... 1) Suck it up and live with the accessories in a big pile, likely split across two Gator cases.2) Buy a number of 'pick-and-pluck' foam flightcases and make my own cases where everything has a home.3) Use the same sort of case as I did for adaptors, with loads of pouches for the mics. I've looked at ready made briefcase style cases but they all seem to be aimed at '58 style mics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Lewis Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Would a Peli style case with padded (rather than the flimsy plucked foam) dividers be of any use? The one above is from Trifibre.... they do a bigger one as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerry davies Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Flight case warehouse will custom make whatever you need IF you are prepared to pay for it. Most decent firms will provide a standard briefcase with whatever you wish carved out to fit whatever you desire like Trifibre, Swann and just about everyone else.

Brian Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 @Simon - I did look at a similar case but decided that things would rattle around too much. @Kerry - the appeal of a more flexible solution is that, well, it's more flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojc123 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I like the pencil cases/tupperware boxes because it is easy to change as requirements change and it's cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the kid Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Kinda coupled with the last topic, we have a "live band case" that, well covers a band. I can take some pics but it is split top down - mics (including clips) | cables - small snakesweird misc adapters | base plates______________________________________________Micstands______________________________________________Micstands You could do something similar , perhaps trays that you can stack and case. I can take some pics if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 We bought some clear pencil cases for mics a while ago. It helps a lot to be able to see the contents at a glance rather than having to unzip and look inside, or hunt for the strip of tape that's labelling them.
