Lectro then quickly morphed it into a box for field  use, essentially by folding the &#8216;wings&#8217; underneath the main board. The  resulting lunch-box affair was neat-o, but still a little bulky for real  field in-the-bag use.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve always looked at this product with an eye towards sizing it down, and I finally squeezed the project in this week. Primarily,&nbsp; I re-designed the NP-1 battery receptacle to save a 1\/2 inch off the height of the box:<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-LZk7JFNJOo4\/T6HfuGJndEI\/AAAAAAAAAGs\/K3TMDpiTUj4\/s1600\/venuemodunderview\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-LZk7JFNJOo4\/T6HfuGJndEI\/AAAAAAAAAGs\/K3TMDpiTUj4\/s400\/venuemodunderview\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/txsound.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/sidebysidevenue.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/txsound.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/sidebysidevenue-300x168.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/txsound.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/topopenvenue.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/txsound.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/topopenvenue-300x168.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The above photos show the size savings after the mod. I also re-positioned the LCD and shaved a 1\/4 inch off the top of the faceplate. Also, the antenna inputs are re-routed to the front of the cabinet. Now it can ride bag-style with some much needed space savings. Still too big for run-n-gun bag, 6 individual receivers will still occupy about half the space. Fun project, though.<br \/>-by Pete Verrando<\/p>\n<p>Please visit my website!&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/txsound.com\/\">www.txsound.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This 6 channel receiver was originally conceived as a single-space rackmount device.
