travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	Donny, I would look for a plastic box in the Dollar General store, then insert a layer of foam rubber on the bottom and lid to cushion the mic and hold if firmly in place. With the Crown CM311A it came with a great case. Good luck, Gary _________________________ PSR-S950, TC Helicon Harmony-M, Digitech VR, Samson Q7, Sennheiser E855, Custom Console, and lots of other silly stuff!

Beakybird Senior Member Registered: 01/27/01 Posts: 2227	I've been using the Crown CM311A for over 15 years. I use a Tupperware type of container without padding. I also keep my mic cable and keyboard A/C adapter in the container, and that probably provides some cushioning for the mic. I usually go about 4 years between mic repairs, and I do over 400 shows per year. I don't think I would have better results with a padded mic container. For my needs, this would create more bulk and add time to my setup and take down. Just one minute times 400 shows = 6 hours and 40 minutes of time per year.

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	All of mine were shipped in their own, special fitted case. That's what I transported them in to more than 400 jobs a year, and never had a single failure or repair.

What I had to smile about was the calculation of the 6 hours and 40 minutes of time "saved" per year ... Does one save "Time in a Bottle" (to use the title of one of the late Jim Croce's songs) ? ... how are those 6 hours and 40 minutes spent? ... does one play a couple more gigs in that time? Just wonderin' ... DISCLAIMER - the above was written with tongue firmly planted in cheek ... BTW ... I have a nephew who once commented about his dad who was always making a list of stores to go to when he went out so he would "save a trip" ... my nephew wondered where his father put all those "saved trips" ... he was concerned that one day he would open a closet and all those "saved trips" would come falling out on top of him ... _________________________ t.

Tony, You have 11,115 post on General arranger. By my calculations you could have saved 23 days by not posting. I can't imagine all the time I could have saved if I didn't have the internet. Jerry

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	Geeze, I just noticed that I have actually posted more than Tony M - WOW! A real milestone for me. However, Tony found time to go to Europe I found time to sail the entire east coast, and we both posted during those trips. The only difference is that I was the captain of my ship, while tony was a passenger.

Jerryghr I think it's important to get your surroundings as well as yourself into a positive state - meaning surround yourself with positive people, not the kind who are negative and jealous of everything you do.
