Sporting the company's classic orange interior color scheme, this K-Tek Stingray Junior X is a professional audio bag designed for use with ultracompact field mixer/recorder models such as Zaxcom's Nova and Maxx and the Sound Devices 833, 888, and MixPre 10. As the third generation of Stingray bags, the Junior X boasts valuable improvements based on insight from demanding sound engineers. From its reinforced internal vertical frame to its trap door and zippered side panels, the Junior X is built for strength, stability, and ease of access.

Solid 3/8 and 1/4" attachment points on the frame allow you to connect accessories including antennas and magic arms for cell phones and tablets. The front flap opens for access to the recorder's controls, while color-coded zippers help you locate gear quickly on set. The removable shoulder strap helps you carry the gear, while the built-in kickstand allows the bag to sit at an angle when placed on a tabletop or the ground. Tough yet lightweight, the Stingray Junior X bag is ready for use in a wide variety of recording location environments. A clear shield and an all-weather bag are included to protect your gear and conceal the contents.

The Stingray X Series is the third generation of Stingray mixer bags. Thanks to real-world feedback from professionals in the field, this generation of the Stingray X is even better than its predecessors. Specifically designed for ultracompact, highly functional bag setups, this all new Junior X bag is home for some of the most versatile and functional compact field recording packages.

Three layers of water-repellent polyurethane reinforce the X Bag, which features a 1680D durable polyester fabric. The bag is meant for productions using very compact, full-function audio mixer recorders. The design was optimized to work with mixers like the Sound Devices 833 and 888 as well as Zaxcom's Nova and Maxx. It is also well suited for many similarly sized mixer recorders.

The most requested feature from the previous Stingray Junior bags was the kickstand. So now you can conveniently lean the bag back for clear visibility and access while sitting at a table or similar. The X Series kickstand is permanently attached and can be folded to easily store on the rear exterior of the bag when not in use.

The reinforced and strengthened vertical frame structure now protects the equipment even better. It allows full access to the sides and bottom of the mixer recorder to access connectors and media.

Two solid, threaded attachment points are directly tied into the frame structure of the bag, allowing accessories like sharkfin antennas to be attached. These two attachment points each feature 1/4"-20 female and 3/8"-16 male threads.

The large trap door on the bottom and zippered side access panels complement the accessibility offered by the frame design and further ease setup, cabling, and battery swaps. This design concept makes the Stingray Junior X exterior compact, but roomy on the inside.

The premium zippers are color-coded for your convenience. Large side pockets offer plenty of room to store batteries and other accessories. Generous pass-throughs allow cable routing from and to the main compartment. A separate front compartment is protected by a rigid front panel and can be expanded or closed tight. Hook-and-loop pockets close the bottom sides of the front compartment while allowing for cabling access to the exterior of the bag. Various cable pass-through locations and smart storage points prove the versatility of the Stingray Junior X bag to various equipment choices and recording environments.

Webbing loops, Molle straps, and threaded attachment points offer plenty of rigging points for additional accessories like Gizmo pouches, TX/RX units, magic arms, and even mobile phone/tablet holders. D-rings allow the Stingray Junior X bag to be attached to harnesses and waist belts.

The Stingray Junior X bag comes with a shoulder strap, a clear shield, and an all-weather protection stealth bag. It is a perfect companion for the K-Tek Waistbelt and is fully compatible with the Stingray Harness (both available separately).
