TheAudioSynthesist Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I recently bought an audio organizer bag off a JW user but the dividers it came with are not OEM. (I knew this buying the bag and am fine with it.) Problem is I want the original dividers now to help give it a more streamlined look and provide me with various options when reorganizing my bag to fit rented gear, gear upgrades, etc. Does anyone know where to get divider kits for the porta brace audio organizer bags other than portabrace.com? They are charging $15 shipping on a $35 product. I don't see myself paying $50 for two velcro dividers. I'm also looking for something that will hide the cables on the bag's "floor" so that they are not all over the place. Perhaps a second "carpet" that covers the entire "floor" of the bag. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studiomprd Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 did you ask any of <the usual suspects> ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Mayer Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I bought the divider kit once upon a time. It's enough for 4 - 5 Audio Organizers. PM me your email, once I get back in town, I will look for it and I'll sell you the dividers you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAudioSynthesist Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 http://www.bhphotovi...itialSearch=yes thanks but the divider kits on that page are for pelican type cases and porta brace back packs. i'm looking for the dividers that go in the AO-2XB bag. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm also looking for something that will hide the cables on the bag's "floor" so that they are not all over the place. Perhaps a second "carpet" that covers the entire "floor" of the bag. I have learned from painful experience that there's a fine art to organizing cables for bag use. Getting them "just so" is very important, especially when you have to re-patch or re-route for an emergency situation. 90% of it is just getting the exact right length of cables: just enough to get where they need to go, but not so much that they clog up the available space. Cable management is tough in permanent racks, too. Custom-made cables are a big help, as are right-angled connectors (even for stuff like headphones and rec monitoring). I think going to a "false floor" is probably carrying it a little too far, but I am a stickler for trying to keep everything in the right place so I can get at it very fast. I have great respect for the full-time doco guys who regularly do 6-7-8 wireless units at a time and can stay on their feet. 3 wires and a boom are about as much as I can handle in a bag.

Portabrace Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hi there, my name's Chris and I work here at portabrace. If you'd like to contact me directly at chris@portabrace.com I'd be happy to get you the dividers you're looking for. More important to us than the $15 shipping is that your gear is performing the way you need it to. On behalf of all of us here in VT, thanks for using our cases. We truly appreciate it. Any other questions, just let me know. All the best, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studiomprd Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Welcome Cris from Portabrace... Nice to have you stop by here; I'm an advocate of making direct contact, and that is, in my view, a major benefit from meeting folks at NAB. Will we see you there ?

OmahaAudio Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hi there, my name's Chris and I work here at portabrace. I've looked at the PortaBrace website a number of times and always seem to wind up getting something from Petrol. The main reason? The pictures on the PB website are usually pretty awful in showing off the product. As someone without a great audio supply stockist near-bye I do a lot of my shopping using websites and the way PortaBrace show photos of bags with all sorts of non-included items makes things very confusing. I've purchased a PB bag in the past only to get and find that what was in the picture was actually two or even three bags that, bought together, would cost double, so the PB went back to my very understanding supplier in NYC. Petrol do a much better job on their website of showing their products and what their products will hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
