So if you have a wireless mic- or any other 1 RU device that needs both front and back access, as well as pouches front and back to hole related items, then this case is the protection solution for you.

It’s very heavy duty, and the case foam has been cut to house directional antennas, a HH mic and a Lav, but you can recut it to whatever you like. A nice feature is that whatever you store in the front part of the case is held behind a velcro cover co it won’t beat up the face of your gear while traveling.

It’s missing one foot on the center piece, but as the weight is in the front, I never had an issue with it. If it bothers you, take a foot off either the front or back piece because, when you stack it up, those aren’t going to be attached anyway. So there’s four spare feet. :)

Handles on both sides of the main piece, and on the front of the front piece for easy vertical stacking.

Here’s the photos. (click for larger versions) Call or e-mail me if you have any  questions. Priced for local pickup. Shipping is extra, will be actual, and no, I won’t put this shipping case in a box. That’s silly. I put a label on this case and ship it to you.

The case standing on the "Back" end. No handle there so it's "solid."

View from above. Comes pre-labeled for your convenience.

Side handles on the center part. It stands, but handles make it wobble.

The guts. TOP: the 1 RU center piece, MID: the back storage area. Cut to hold directional Sony antennas. BOT: the front storage area and the hard cover plate that velcros on, with finger holes so you can easily open it up.

It also looks like I’ll not be acquiring similar gear so this case, in excellent condition, with high quality foam (not crappy pick & pull foam) is available for you to buy and configure to your needs.

Consider it to be an oversized briefcase. $100 each. This is the cheapest insurance for whatever you can put inside, and I’m sure whatever you put inside will cost far more than $100. That’s why rental gear always comes in these cases. Because the cases really do protect what’s inside.

Considering a Pelican case? Think again. Which do you think would win in a knock-down drag-out fight in the back of the grip truck with falling gear… these are the cases that put the holes in the Pelican plastic. And the replacement foam for a Pelican costs $70. Just for the foam. Get one of these instead.

The taller case is the only one left. It is 22″ x 7.25″ x 19″

In excellent shape, no busted wood. Corners all reinforced.

Insides & Comparison

The lightweight, closed DT 280 / DT 290 series headsets are ideally suited for broadcasting applications. The headphone is featuring an efficient neodymium magnet system, a very high reproduction precision and a balanced sound. Isolation from surrounding noise is very good. Another special feature is the wide audio frequency response of the mic: 10 – 30,000 Hz.

The soft circumaural earcups and the fully adjustable padded headband are extremely comfortable. The dynamic microphone can be optimally positioned with the flexible gooseneck. The hypercardioid polar pattern guarantees an extremely high-gain-before feedback and noise cancellation. If necessary the assembly of the microphone holder can be changed so that the microphone can be worn on the left or right side (In the factory it is assembled on the left side). The cables to the earcups and microphone run safely in the headband. The connecting cable is bare ended so you can configure it as you see fit. All parts such as ear pads, headband and gooseneck microphone are easy to replace.

Features

* Lightweight, low profile design
* Reference quality, closed ear monitors
* High suppression of ambient noise
* Soft, circumaural ear pad
* Noise canceling microphone
* Dynamic, hypercardioid microphone capsule
* Very high gain-before-feedback
* Flexible gooseneck for optimal positioning
* Noise canceling microphone
* Single exit, plug-in cable assembly

We have three units, still in box. Purchased to expand the Clear-Com system we had, but sold. Never used. These come with bare ends so you can configure them as needed- com on a 4-pin, or separate 1/4″ and Mic jacks for audio monitor and talkback, etc.

What users had to say about the SNR-202.

I use this as the last stage before my power amp. I have a Carvin Quad X-amp tube preamp and a Seymour Duncan KTG 2100 tube power amp in addition to a few stomp-box effects in the loops. This unit really, really helps with the tube amps, which tend, of course, to be noisier than solid state. So I can crank it up, and when I’m not playing you here barely a little tube hum. I begin playing and unnoticeably the Behringer lets go. With the settings right for your rig, it will then, again almost invisibly, kick back in when you’ve made your statement. Seems to float in and out perfectly.

I have recently been re-checking and rewiring my studio. The Behringer noise reduction unit is disconnected temporarily, and MAN do I miss it!!! My system IS very quiet, but the Behringer puts a HUSH on the system that one has to HEAR to believe. What used to be taken care of with masking, the Behringer can do with proper set-up. As a previous review stated, this box is the the LAST (or next to the LAST) processor in the chain.

By hiring me with the mixer, you get someone very familiar with the setup and operation and can get you up and recording in the minimal amount of time with the highest quality picture and sound possible.If super critical engineers at PBS are happy with my work, you will be to.

It not only handles four video inputs, it has an additional black/color source.

It handles audio. It can adjust more than seven audio signals as well as master fade (no pan or EQ though).

It has several presets for effects, which I never use.

It has FOUR individual digital TBC’s to tweak black/color/tint/luminance for each of the four video inputs- digital or analogue.

Lots of wipes.

Proper use of pre-program bus and Take button.

Be sure to add the video scopes to be sure video meets critical specifications.It may look fine on the monitor, but the scope is the only real way to be sure of your video levels.

With the Firestore, you can record right to hard drive with the mixer’s FireWire output. For less than the price of a rental deck, and zero wait compared to real-time tape capture.

For more than the most basic audio needs, I highly recommend adding the Mackie audio mixer. It will handle more audio, make it sound better, and be able send it to more places- like stage monitors or IFB feeds.
