Gator GM-6-PE - 6 Microphones Case

This is a perfect case if you have six SM58 mics or ones of a similar shape.If you put the foam windscreens on your mics, they will still fit in this case, and the windscreens offer a little extra protection on the bottom where it is a tad thin, but the mics lay in there held up by the ball end, and only a tiny bit of the base touches the bottom. It is a little tight with all six in place with windscreens on, but they are secure, and the top closes easily enough, and the latches and the handle and the exterior all seem built to last. The Gator logo lets you know which side is up, if you had any doubts.If you have some other configuration of microphones, or a different number than six, this may need some adaptation, but we use four regularly, and have two for backups or to add one if necessary. Before we were using one of the Vault cases, with some other stuff in there to take up the extra space, but this is far superior. Couldn't be better for our use.

It doesn't get any better than this.

Nice, sturdy, and compact hardshell case for compatibly shaped and sized mics only. Small footprint makes it easy to pack in with other equipment, but leaves no room for cables, although you could fit a few spare mic clips into the factory pre-cut spaces if you didn't need all six for mics. The factory pre-cut spaces are just a bit short for my 7.0" long off-brand SM-58 look-alikes. Foam is soft enough that I can easily press the mics into it so they fit, but that reduces the already barely sufficient uncompressed 5/8" foam width at the ends of the mic cutouts. The foam layer at the bottom of the cutouts is worthless, so you will want to add some additional scrap foam (such as the green stuff in my pictures) to beef that up a bit and cradle the mics better. There's plenty of soft foam thickness in the top of the case, so I made my added foam inserts pretty thick, and let the windscreen ball compress into the top foam a bit (you can see the resulting indentations in the photos). With minor modifications as mentioned, this is a great case for it's specific, limited, intended purpose of carrying 6 SM-58 style mics. Lost one star because of narrow perimeter foam width, and the almost non-existent foam thickness at bottom of cutouts. If they had built this with four equally thick layers of foam with matching cutouts in the two center layers and two nice, thick outer layers, and made it just a bit taller to increase perimeter foam width at ends of mics, this would have gotten five stars no problem. Although nice and small for transporting or packing in with your other gear, be aware that its small size also makes it an easy target for someone to pick up and stick under a jacket, so keep an eye on it during set up and tear down, or your six expensive mics might easily disappear out the door.

Great protection for my SM57's and SM58's! I need to buy another one. Solid construction and even though the 57's don't have the ball like the 58's they're not bouncing around in the case. I was hesitant due to the cost, but once it arrived, I knew it was money well spent.

Case is very sturdy and works really well but it only holds the microphone not the transmitter. It holds four mics. I would recommend Gator products again.

Inexpensive and very durable, perfect for storing mics and traveling. Highly recommended product as all the other cases from Gator (I have four of them).

Handy product, sturdy and easy to transport.

My only complaint with this case is there is little to no foam at the bottom of the mic cut-outs. So the mics drop into the cut-outs too far and will flop around with the case closed. I solved this by buying some 3/4" road case foam and cutting it to the mic shape and just pressed in down into the cut-outs. Now the SM58's sit up higher and are easier to put in/get out of the case. When the case is closed the foam of the top lid slightly compresses against the grilles. Mics are nice and snug with the lid closed, no more flopping around. This would be 5 stars if Gator had just put this foam in at the factory. In the end, I like the case enough, I bought another and added foam to that one too. I use one for Shure SM58's and one for SM57's with no issues.
