Gator GTSA-MICW7 - TSA-approved hard polyethylene case for 7 wireless microphones
The Gator GTSA-MICW7 is a professional hard case from Gator's TSA series, designed to transport and protect up to seven wireless microphones with batteries installed, along with their receivers, beltpacks, and accessories . Made of high-strength molded polyethylene and ATA-certified, it provides a very high level of protection against impacts, stacking, and heavy use during tours, rentals, and events.
Inside, it features individual padded slots (microphone drops) for each microphone, accommodating models up to approximately 26 cm in length and around 5.7 cm in diameter , so they can be stored with the battery installed and ready for use. Each slot is lined with foam and a soft tricot- type inner fabric, while the lid incorporates additional foam, keeping the microphones secure and protected from impacts and vibrations during transport.
In addition, the case includes two removable trays with four adjustable dividers , designed to organize receivers, beltpacks, batteries, microphone clips, short cables, and other wireless system accessories. This allows you to carry the entire system in a single hard case, reducing the number of bags and facilitating setup and teardown on the go.
The outer casing is made of thick polyethylene , virtually indestructible under normal use, with metal hardware coated in black powder paint and a continuous trim that reinforces the seal between the base and lid. The locking system consists of two TSA-approved latches (one of which is lockable), with impact-deflecting plates and a red release trigger, especially suitable for air travel and security checkpoints. The assembly is completed with two fixed metal hinges , designed to withstand frequent use.
The injection-molded Ergo-Grip handle provides comfortable handling, offering a secure grip even when the case is loaded. The Gator GTSA-MICW7's approximate external dimensions are 45.7 x 35.6 x 24.1 cm (length x width x height), and it weighs approximately 4.5 kg , offering a good balance of durability, capacity, and portability.
With its combination of rigid protection, padded interior and modular organization , the Gator GTSA-MICW7 is an ideal solution for musicians, sound engineers, rental companies, churches, theaters and any professional who needs to transport multiple wireless microphones and their accessories with a high level of security and order.
