Audio Equipment

Protective Case

Audio recorders are delicate precision devices, especially the digital versions. Providing a high quality field case for your recorder can prolong its useful life and also help ensure its reliability. Dirt, dust, and moisture can raise havoc with the internal mechanisms of these machines, greatly reducing motor and bearing life and creating excess drag coefficients on other moving assemblies. This can lead to premature mechanical failure or other recording problems.

The Porta-Brace Company manufactures high quality rugged field cases that we use on every piece of recording gear we own. They are constructed with heavy-weight, padded, Cordura nylon material. Flaps, held shut with hook & loop style fasteners, provide easy connector access. Areas over switch panels and meters are covered with a clear, yet flexible plastic material. Shoulder straps are over-designed for maximum comfort on even the heaviest recorders. Extra compartments are usually provided for spare cables, tape, etc. These cases are not waterproof, but they are water repellant. Additional padding helps provide extra protection to the recorder in the event the machine should fall or be dropped during field use.
