Made in the USA, the STR-F6 Field Case from STRUT is an audio bag custom-designed to house the Zoom F6 multitrack recorder. Featuring durable, waterproof 1000-D Cordura fabric and padded compartments, it provides full access to the unit's controls and connections while protecting the electronics from weather, dust, and impacts when working on location.

The STR-F6 offers a padded main compartment for the recorder and a front pocket that can accommodate up to four Sennheiser G4 or similarly sized receivers; a thru-port between them makes cabling fast, easy, and tidy. The case is equipped with a clear vinyl lid that protects the main compartment from dust and rain and conveniently rolls out of the way when not needed.

Battery changes are made easy with the bottom door, which gives access to the recorder's battery compartment and timecode connectors. The bottom battery wrap will accommodate an external battery pack. The case features double belt loops and harness attachment points; the HAR-2 lightweight audio harness is included.
