Porta-Brace AO-1.5X Audio Organizer

An audio organizer case for a field mixer or recorder, the Porta-Brace AO-1.5X has room inside for several wireless receivers.

Padded Cordura fabric covers rigid corrugated plastic panels to form a strong frame. Both side panels detach fully for access to every input and output on the mixer, and a large flap on the back opens for battery access. The copper-colored interior comes with two rigid dividers.

Pouches and Storage

Each side carries transmitter pouches with NP1/BDS pockets and a hook-and-loop NP1 lock, plus an attached external NP1 pocket. A large zippered bottle holder expands to hold headphones or rest a boom, and a compact collapsible front pocket stores accessories.

The case has metal harness rings on each side, a boom-pole attachment point, carry handles, and a vinyl rain cover with a double vinyl pocket. The AO-1.5X comes with an HB-15 shoulder strap, a carabiner flashlight, a PS-6a cable wrap, and an RX-STRIP wireless mic strap.
