The Porta Brace AR-MIXPRE3 Field Audio Bag for MixPre-3 Recorder is a durable audio bag custom-fit to carry and protect your valuable Sound Devices MixPre-3 recorder/mixer when working in the field. It features an exterior constructed of abrasion-resistant, 1000-denier Cordura nylon, rigid frame panels, and has interior foam padding, which helps absorb shocks and protect your equipment from bumps and scratches.

The AR-MIXPRE3 is equipped with a removable, clear Vinyl cover that provides an unobstructed view of the recorder's screen, while shielding it from rain or splashing. Two side openings enable you to fully access all inputs/outputs and memory card slots. The openings' hook-and-loop fasteners provide a tight seal to further protect the MixPre-3 against water, dust, and debris.

The bag can hold up to four wireless transmitters, two in the side pockets, and two clipped on the MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) strips along the front panel. The AR-MIXPRE3 ships with the HB-15 Mini-DV shoulder strap.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this fit a Zoom F8?

A: The Porta Brace AR-MIXPRE6 is actually designed for the Sound Devices Mix-Pre 6, which happens to be a bit smaller than the Zoom F8. This bag may not work, or be a tight fit. You may consider the Orca OR-28 (B&H# OROR28) instead.

Q: 2. Can you use some hip belt rather than this neck strap for carrying this case? I think that way it could stand by itself close to body in movement, just like hip pack. If its only with neck strap connected to body than in movement if you don't hold it case can bump around, no?

A: A Porta Brace AH-2L Padded Audio Harness with Belt would be a suitable solution as it will keep your bag in place, even while on-the-run.

Q: 3. Will this support a large Sony L battery sled in the bottom panel. And is there access to the battery sled and SD card from the bottom of the bag?
