Comments about Porta Brace AO-1XB Audio Organizer Case (Black):

When I decided to buy my own audio package six years ago, I started with the Petrol PEG 2, I soon outgrew that and bought a PEG 3. Both bags had zipper problems. The 3 model had a carbon fiber support rod poke through the fabric and in turn, started poking me! I decided to scale down my package and in turn, needed a small to medium sized bag. I decided to try Porta Brace.
They have been an industry icon for decades.

I like the versatility of the AO 1XB, especially the changeable sides.
It is well made, and I don't think I'll encounter the zipper issues I had with the Petrol bags. Plus, Porta Brace is American owned and made! Which is literally next to impossible to find in our industry any more.
I liked the black color option, nothing against standard Porta Brace Blue,
but let's face it; black is more majestic:)

I have a Sound Devices 442 mixer, and 4 lectrosonics 411s in the bag.
The only thing I wish Porta Brace designers would do is offer more "pic points" for attaching your harness. It took me a couple of hours to balance my Porta Brace V series Harness properly because of the way the rings are positioned on the bag. But, once I had the harness dialed in, the bag was comfortable and everything was easy to access.
