The battery wrap closure accommodates four and eight AA sleds, NP-F sled options, NP-1, Remote Audio, and various USB-C power options. The two-piece wrap results in a neat battery cover that leaves ends open if wiring is needed. Interior hook-and-loop fasteners secure the batteries in place.

• Hook-and-loop fasteners secure the rain top/travel cover
• Left and right hook-and-loop boots to seal around cables
• Left and right boot zippers for checking connections, plugging in headphones, adjusting volume, and other quiet mid-production changes
• The boot also has hook-and-loop sealing capability with a flip top

Sold separately, the optional STR-STEALTHPKT ii2 removable pocket features quiet zipper closure to keep small items or can be fully opened to reveal clip-on webs for up to two small receivers, and has its own belt loops along with MOLLE style attachment straps. This removable front pocket allows you to take full advantage of the stealthy nature of the Sound Devices MixPre-3 without the added bulk of a pocket when you don't need one.
