Porta-Brace AO-1SILENT Audio Organizer
The Porta-Brace AO-1SILENT holds a field mixer or recorder in an audio organizer case made to stay quiet while recording.
Magnetic connectors close the case with almost no noise, and rubber-tipped zippers keep metal from clicking against metal. A strong aluminum frame sits under a waterproofed Cordura exterior, and the soft Veltex interior protects the gear inside. The interior measures 10 x 6 x 6 inches.
Nylon handles with a suede grip carry the case, and D rings attach it to an audio harness. It also takes the HB-10M adjustable suede shoulder strap.
Pouches and Storage
Both side panels detach fully for access to the mixer’s inputs and outputs, and the case also opens at the back and bottom. MOLLE strips on the front pocket hold receivers, cables, and headphones. Hop pouches ride on each side, along with a zippered flask holder. A removable elastic holder on a divider pad keeps up to 3 wireless units in place.
The AO-1SILENT comes with a PS-6A Piggin’ String cable wrap for long coils of cable and extension cords, plus RX-STRIP and TX-STRIP hook-and-loop organizers.
