The AR-MAXX protective carrying case can be comfortably carried using an audio harness or shoulder strap. There are also built-in pads that stabilize the case for use on an audio cart. The wireless mic pouch has reinforced side panels to provide additional protection. There is also access to cables from either side of the pouch. The integrated design keeps the entire setup from sagging, which reduces back fatigue on long days on set. The Maxx unit rests in a custom-fit compartment raised from the bottom of the case in order to remove pressure on cable connectors that are located on the bottom of the unit. The clear vinyl cover used to protect recorder and recievers can be completely removed when not in use. The cover has two layers that can hold cast picture cards or other documents needed for quick reference. The AR-MAXX is constructed using balistic-grade 1000-denier Cordura nylon with soft Veltex lining on interior dividers. A comfortable, removable leather handle is included.
