Design and protection

Orca designed the OR-32 with layered protection to keep sensitive gear safe in the field. First, a durable external aluminum frame surrounds the bag. Inside, a honeycomb frame adds structural support. Layers of foam and EVA cushion equipment from shocks and impacts.

Moreover, Orca developed the bag with input from photographers and audio experts. As a result, the OR-32 supports both safe transport and practical operation of audio mixers in varied locations.

Access and operation

The OR-32 gives you multiple ways to reach and operate your equipment. It is the first audio bag to provide access to the interior from six directions, which allows flexible workflow on set. Additionally, Orca includes “ORCA Lift,” a solution that lets audio operators smoothly position a mixer at different heights and angles for comfortable use during recording.

Carrying and storage features

The bag offers several practical storage and carry solutions to keep accessories organized and hands-free when needed. You can detach the carrying handles and the shoulder strap for different transport preferences. Also, the OR-32 can connect to the Orca Harness to shift load off the user during longer shoots.
