Analog Cases developed the PULSE series to provide musicians and engineers with a more robust alternative to the soft drawstring bags often included with professional headphones. Unlike soft pouches, the PULSE Case utilizes a rigid design philosophy aimed at preventing structural damage during transit. The case is specifically targeted at the studio professional who requires a mobile setup without risking damage to high-end monitoring tools.
Materials and Construction
The primary material used in the PULSE Case is Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), a polymer known for its stress-crack resistance and waterproof properties. This shell is designed to maintain its shape even under pressure, offering a buffer against drops and impacts. The exterior features a textured finish to resist superficial damage, while the inclusion of a moulded rubber handle facilitates secure manual transport.
Compatibility
The interior dimensions are tailored to support a broad spectrum of professional headphones. While specific dimensions should be verified for oversized boutique models, the case is designed to fit standard offerings from major brands including:
- Beyerdynamic (e.g., DT series)
- Shure (e.g., SRH series)
- Sennheiser (e.g., HD series)
- Various other studio-grade monitoring cans
Protective Features
The design focuses on environmental and physical protection. The rigid EVA shell acts as a barrier against dust accumulation and liquid splashes, which are common hazards in mobile recording environments. Internally, the case prevents the headband and earcups from being compressed, which helps in maintaining the longevity of the headphone's padding and internal driver alignment.
