Wooden Microphone Boxes

[MHanson]

Thank you everyone for your support and replies.

These are traveling microphones. I have pelican cases for them. I was just wanting to get them into their own boxes and out of the pluck stuff in the pelican case. I almost replaced the pluck stuff by building new foam from My Case Builder but thought I should look for boxes first. I may still customize things down the road after finding good boxes for everything. ie, consolidating multiple microphones, PS's, and cables into one case, but right now this is the direction I am going. If these microphones stayed in my studio all the time, this would not be an issue.

Again, thank you everyone!

All my best,
Michael

These are some of my mics in various size zippered storage cases.

I recently acquired this two-piece, telescoping, translucent plastic tube that expands to accommodate the length of a microphone. It is, essentially, a larger version of plastic tubes some folks use to store fancy pens. The photos depict a couple of microphones inside the tube, one with a pack of silica gel. The translucent plastic gives the impression the photos are out of focus. Not perfect for every microphone, but I am well pleased they will protect their contents well enough, and the price seems right. Found on eBay.com with search string: "transparent plastic pencil cases holder" and they are approximately 25.5 cm long x 5.5 cm diameter.
Cost = $3.02 US (including shipping.)

The large wood boring, "nail eater" drill bits that I buy for my electrical contracting business come in very similar plastic sleeves to those shown here, although none would be wide enough for most microphones. I like the idea that they can be twisted into different locking lengths

Those are really clever, good find! If they are sealed well enough would definitely recommend the silica gel packet inside.

Great idea! Being a machinist, I've seen these things for decades, as various large machining cutters are commonly supplied in them, but I never thought of using one for mic storage. Brilliant!
