My question is this:
What is the easiest way to store power supplies for this equipment so that the supplies don't get all tangled and in a mess?
We keep our receivers in one of two road racks. That way, you just have to snap the back and front shut, and viola! Safe. The only problem is to use one or two you still have to lug out a 40lb case...

For the two receivers that are not in a rack, we keep them in a suitcase with the microphones and body packs. We use these Mini Cable Clamps on the cords. The mini ones should be available at your local hardware store for about 20 cents each. (I've seen them at Menards and Fleet 'n Farm - if you're in the midwest.) For being only 20 cents, they are pretty durable and strong. (I can step on them and they don't break.)
