REALITY CHECK: wireless microphones HAVE WIRES. It's true. Even though the magic of RF transmission does untether the presenter from any immediate cordage, a wireless system must at some point be plugged into a wall and a PA. Toting around a wireless system, with both transmitter and separate receiver, can be a pain. . . unless you've got a slick little solution like the Gator GM-1WEVA.

The GM-1WEVA is an update of Gator's rather-successful GM-1W wireless system case. The new version is even more compact and more robust that its predecessor. It provides practical portage for complete wireless systems of all kinds, provided the receiver is of the (common) half-rack size. Space is provided for the receiver, as well as microphone-transmitter, belt-pack transmitter, lavaliere elements, XLR cord and more.

The case's 5mm EVA rubber foam interior forms the storage compartments and provides impact protection. Front and rear zipper-flaps grant easy connection and operation access, and a clever top-mounted zipper-slot allowing for the receiver's antenna(e) to be extended without removing the unit from the case.

The Gator GM-1WEVA is shipping now.
