[QUOTE="Marlow Wilson, post: 16061, member: 47"] Re: Mic case I do both EWI and Pelican. I'm not a bar provider and each gig has very different needs. I have one pelican case with most of my DI's (10 type 85, 6 imps, and a few AV DI's and other magic boxes). Another pelican case sits empty waiting to be filled up for smaller gigs with mics and DI's. My mics are in three EWI cases and broken down into quasi-useable kits. Each has subtle variations (Ie one is mostly Shure, another has more Audix) and on last one has all the odd ball mics. For medium stuff I'll send out one EWI case with an appropriate number of DI's thrown in, for big stuff I'll bring both kits plus the full DI kit, and for small crap I grab whatever they need and throw it in the pelican case. For rentals, checking the contents of of 30 bags one by one sucks! With the EWI kit I can glance at it and check the few bags in the side compartment as I grab the DI's to return to their home. Seems to work for me. For flying I agree Pelican is the only option, but I guess I'm trying to suggest that it doesn't have to be all one or the other and should be based on your application. If you only have 16 mics and a few DI's I'd like to congratulate you on fighting the mic addiction. Best of luck! Marlow [/QUOTE]
