Sachtler Eargonizer Large Audio Bag

Sachtler Eargonizer Large is a purpose-built audio mixer bag engineered for on-location sound teams who cannot afford delays. Built around a rigid aluminium frame and wrapped in heavy-duty water-repellent Cordura, it delivers robust protection while keeping mass to just 2.8 kg. Interior space of 32.5 × 18 × 22 cm accommodates full-size field recorders such as Sound Devices 888 or Aaton Cantar X3 plus up to ten wireless receivers, batteries and IFB units, all held firmly by hook-and-loop dividers.

Operational speed defines the design. A transparent cold-proof TPU lid keeps meters visible down to –5 °C, while zip-away panels on the top, rear and both flanks grant unhindered access to XLR, TA3, SD-card and AES cabling. The double-layered base channels headphone and time-code leads clear of wear points, and an internal sleeve locks NP-style packs in place during fast moves. External elastic straps carry a boom pole, and four snap-on pouches expand capacity for transmitters or compact power distribution.

Organisation is equally meticulous. Dividers slide on dual hook strips, preventing creep during vehicle stunts, while a cable trap panel tidies B-NC sync leads. The front accessories bay swallows attenuators, slate beacons, medias and adapters; zips YKK discrets avoid set noise, and the balanced grab-handle prevents roll-over when hoisting gear from van to set. Grip rails under the shell improve shelf adhesion, and all seams receive PU coating to shrug off drizzle. For extended shoots, clip the SN605 heavy-duty harness to the steel D-rings or rotate the wide padded shoulder strap; either way the 22x32x18cm footprint stays tight to the body.

From ENG run-and-gun news through multi-camera reality show and scripted drama, Eargonizer Large mixer bag turns a full sound cart into carry-on, saving rig time and shielding premium electronics wherever the job takes you.
