The KU5A Series Case removes that variable — its hard shell is contoured to the KU5A's body (8\" × 3\"), absorbs impact, and keeps the mic in a vertical orientation that minimises ribbon tension during transit. CNC-cut foam holds the microphone without additional straps or padding, and there is no movement inside the case regardless of how it is handled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFast Access on Set and on Stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpring-latch closures open one-handed with no tools, no fumbling. The microphone lifts straight out — the integrated yoke mount comes with it, and the 3-meter captive XLR cable coils into a dedicated foam recess. Zero play inside the case means zero resonance vibration against the capsule housing during van rides between venues. For touring engineers running the KU5A in front-of-house or monitor applications, that level of protection between shows matters as much as the flight case on the console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne Case, Two Environments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KU5A itself already bridges studio and live use — supercardioid pattern kills monitor bleed from the rear, active JFET electronics work with any preamp on the rider, and the switchable high-pass filter at 283 Hz (6 dB\/oct) handles proximity effect at close vocal distances. The Series Case extends that versatility: compact enough for an aircraft overhead bin, dimensioned to avoid checked-baggage fees on most carriers, and finished in the same matte black as the microphone. Pack it in a backpack, pull it out at soundcheck, and the KU5A is ready without a minute spent unwrapping foam sleeves or untangling cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCNC-cut foam interior\u003c\/strong\u003e — precise fit for the KU5A body, yoke mount, and 3 m captive cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring-latch closures\u003c\/strong\u003e — single-hand operation, no tools required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverhead bin-compatible dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e — carry-on ready for most commercial airlines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVertical ribbon orientation\u003c\/strong\u003e — reduces stress on the 1.8-µm aluminum ribbon during transport.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte black finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — low-profile appearance on set and on stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible microphone:\u003c\/strong\u003e AEA KU5A (active supercardioid ribbon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard case with CNC-cut foam interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure mechanism:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring latches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone dimensions (KU5A):\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\" × 3\" (203 × 76 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping weight with microphone:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 4 lb (1.8 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKU5A kit contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e microphone, integrated yoke mount, 3 m captive XLR-3M cable, user manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone power requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48 V phantom power, 7 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture (microphone):\u003c\/strong\u003e USA (Pasadena, CA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AEA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069051490641,"sku":"50989","price":54.81,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/AEAKU5ASeriesCase.jpg?v=1781520916","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de\/products\/aea-ku5a-series-case","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
