Samsonite
Hi,
My dynamic mics and condensor mics with batteries go in the original pouches or bank bags and live in Samsonite, the luggage of kings. I regularly buy Samsonite suitcases for $.50 and $1.00 at yard sales and flea markets.
These are the mics I use on stage for performance and recording live so I can just pick up my suitcase and go. I have another suitcase for mic cables, another for speaker cables, etc. These are the cheapest road cases you can get.
My condenser mics in smaller cases go on a shelf in my mix room. Larger cases in the linen closet of the adjoining bathroom.
I have a nice large case for my Fostex VF160 that has room for mics and my headphones too. This way I can do field recording carring only one case and mic stands.
Thanks,
Hairy Larry
