Each of the first surface, second surface, and third surface releasably engage with a plurality of sound production components. A first wing and a second wing are pivotally mounted to the third surface to releasably engage with at least one of the plurality of sound production components. A bag receives the rigid frame in a folded configuration and encloses the rigid frame and the plurality of sound production components. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus for carrying sound production components, comprising: a rigid frame including vertically interspaced first, second, and third surfaces, each of the first surface, second surface, and third surface releasably engage with a plurality of sound production components; a first wing and a second wing pivotally connected to a top portion of the rigid frame, the first and the second wing to releasably engage with at least one of the plurality of sound production components; a bag to receive the rigid frame in a folded configuration and enclose the rigid frame and the plurality of sound production components, such that the rigid frame is removable from the bag; and a handle detachably engaged with the rigid frame via one or more handle brackets. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the handle is pivotally engaged with the handle brackets. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the bag permits the handle to extend to the exterior of the bag, when the rigid frame is positioned inside the bag and the handle is attached to the rigid frame. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the first and the second wings are arrangeable in a folded and an unfolded configuration. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the plurality of sound production components comprise at least one of the following: at least one power distribution system, at least one recorder, at least one audio mixer, at least one audio recorder, at least one battery, at least one wireless radio, at least one audio storage component, and a plurality of cables. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The apparatus of claim 5, further comprising a computing device mount to permit the mounting of a computing device. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The apparatus of claim 6, further comprising a support pivotally engaged with the first surface. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the support arranges the frame in a suitable position when positioned on a surface. ### Claim 9 An apparatus for carrying sound production components, comprising: a rigid frame including vertically interspaced first, second, and third surfaces, each of the first surface, second surface, and third surface releasably engage with a plurality of sound production components; a folding surface pivotally mounted to a top portion of the rigid frame; a first wing and a second wing pivotally mounted to the folding surface, the first and the second wing to releasably engage with at least one of the plurality of sound production components; and a bag to receive the rigid frame in a folded configuration and enclose the rigid frame and the plurality of sound production components, such that the rigid frame is removable from the bag. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the bag is comprised of a cover to enclose the plurality of sound production components within the bag. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the cover is at least partially constructed of a transparent material to permit a user to view the plurality of sound production components within the bag. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising a handle detachably engaged with the rigid frame via one or more handle brackets. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the handle is pivotally engaged with the handle brackets. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the bag permits the handle to extend to the exterior of the bag, when the rigid frame is positioned inside the bag and the handle is attached to the rigid frame. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the first and the second wings are arrangeable in a folded and an unfolded configuration. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the plurality of sound production components comprise at least one of the following: at least one power distribution system, at least one recorder, at least one audio mixer, at least one audio recorder, at least one battery, at least one wireless radio, at least one audio storage component, and a plurality of cables. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The apparatus of claim 16, further comprising a computing device mount to permit the mounting of a computing device. ### Claim 18 An apparatus for carrying sound production components, comprising: a rigid frame including vertically interspaced first, second, and third surfaces, each of the first surface, second surface, and third surface releasably engage with a plurality of sound production components; a handle detachably engaged with the frame, the handle pivotally engaged to the frame via at least one handle bracket positioned on the first side of the frame, the handle permitting the frame to be carried; a support pivotally mounted to the first surface to arrange the frame in a suitable position, wherein the support is configurable in an in-use and storage configuration; a folding surface pivotally mounted to a top portion of the rigid frame; a first wing and a second wing pivotally mounted to the folding surface, the first and the second wing to releasably engage with at least one of the plurality of sound production components; and a bag to receive the rigid frame in a folded configuration and enclose the rigid frame and the plurality of sound production components, such that the rigid frame is removable from the bag, the bag to provide a barrier between the plurality of sound production components and the environment, the bag comprising a cover at least partially constructed of a transparent material to permit the operation of the plurality of sound production components.
