Microphone case Rycote Rycote Mic Case 20 cm — protective storage for microphones

The Rycote Mic Case 20 cm is a compact protective storage solution designed to safeguard microphones up to 20 cm in length during transport and storage. Constructed for field recording, location sound and studio workflows, the case helps prevent physical damage, dust ingress and surface wear while keeping the microphone accessible and organised.

Advantages

The case offers a durable exterior and an interior shaped to hold handheld and short shotgun microphones securely, minimising movement and impact during transit. Its compact form factor makes it convenient to carry in equipment bags or racks, and the closure system provides reliable protection against dust and accidental opening. The simple design prioritises ease of use and quick access to the microphone when required.

Suitable for

• Field recording and documentary shoots
• Location sound for film and TV production
• Broadcast and ENG use where portable protection is needed
• Studio storage for spare handheld or short shotgun microphones
• Transport in camera bags, audio backpacks or flight cases

Key specifications

• Maximum internal length: accommodates microphones up to 20 cm
• Form factor: compact protective case for handheld/short shotgun microphones
• Exterior: durable protective shell that resists abrasion and daily wear
• Interior: shaped padding to limit movement and cushion the microphone
• Closure: secure fastening to prevent accidental opening and reduce dust entry

How to use

Place the microphone into the case ensuring it rests in the shaped interior padding and close the fastening securely. For transport, position the case inside an equipment bag or backpack, ensuring it is not compressed by heavy items. When retrieving the microphone, open the case, remove the microphone by its body while supporting the capsule and re-close the case to protect any spare microphones.

Usage recommendations

Store the case in a dry environment and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Inspect the interior padding regularly for signs of wear and replace the case if the cushioning no longer secures the microphone reliably. For additional protection during air travel, place the mic case inside a padded compartment or hard-sided carry container.
