Frequently Asked Questions
What size case or drawer does the M6001 fit into?
The insert measures 15x15x6 inches, so it fits into road cases, storage drawers, or equipment cases with interior dimensions that accommodate that footprint.
Does the foam come pre-cut with microphone slots or is it customizable?
The M6001 comes with pre-cut slots designed to hold standard handheld microphones securely without additional modification.
Can this insert hold wireless microphone transmitters or only wired mics?
The slots are sized for standard handheld microphones. Most handheld wireless transmitters that share the typical microphone form factor will fit, though unusually wide or oversized models may not.
Is the foam dense enough to protect microphones during transport?
Yes. The foam is designed specifically for equipment protection, providing cushioning that absorbs shock and prevents microphones from shifting or making contact with each other during transit.
Does Penn-Elcom sell a matching case for this insert?
Penn-Elcom manufactures a range of flight cases and rack drawers. The M6001 is designed to drop into compatible Penn-Elcom cases, though it can also be used in third-party cases with matching interior dimensions.
