In order to create these inserts for all of my equipment drawers, I imagined loading up my follow cart, driving to some road case builder in the Valley, and sitting down with a probably already super-busy case fabricator. We would try and measure and double measure every single wireless mic pack, boom microphone, IFB receiver, and accessory in my inventory.
