You cared enough to buy the best and you know how hard they work for you—why not guard your investment against damage and the weather with padded custom covers? Offering much better protection than a vinyl or nylon bag, towel, or the box they came in (and a better resale value when you hit the bigtime!), these covers are made by hand with care in the USA and feature openings at the handles, giving you a good grip on the units for transport. That is the way manufacturers suggest moving your cabinets and it’s a good idea since a drop from even elbow height (shoulder strap malfunction) may damage your equipment no matter how padded the covering. There is no need to fuss with zippers (if they stick or break, then what?). My covers simply slip onto the speakers from the top. My husband plays over 200 gigs a year and these covers have kept his speaker cabinets looking brand new!
A few of my fabulous customers shot the following videos to demonstrate how the covers fit!

Some satisfied customers say:
“Connie was very easy to work with and had several of our popular speaker covers (EV ZX1 and QSC K10) in stock and ready to go. With our new TC Electronics BG250-115 bass combo and Mackie SRM 1550 Sub, she was so easy to work with on getting new custom templates designed and returned quickly. The covers are very well made and I anticipate them lasting a very long time while keeping our speakers looking brand new.”

“Just had another gig last night in which I used your covers for my QSC K12, K10, and KW181 speakers and subwoofers, and once again, they made life so much easier.
In the past, I spent big money ($100 / bag) to buy the QSC bags for my speakers, and while they work well, they are annoying to use if you gig often with the zippers, and the bags take up valuable room when not in use at the gig. I tried replacing the QSC bags with pro-style flight cases, and that was a huge mistake, as they weigh a ton, and take up way too much room when not in use.
Your bags are reasonably priced, fit perfectly, protect the equipment in transport, slide on and off quickly, and can quickly be stacked flat when not in use, and take up very little room on stage.”

and the new owner said that they looked brand new, thanks to your wonderful

“I am extremely impressed with the padded speaker covers I purchased from you for my Seismic Audio Speakers. Actually I ordered them for my MainShock 15" powered speakers because Seismic Audio told me they would fit. And they did fit, perfectly. I should have ordered them when I bought the speakers, and I'll tell you why. I only owned my MainShock 15's for two days before one of them was damaged by someone who loaded my speakers up in my van. I had placed thick carpeting over 2/3 of the cargo area, but someone pushed one of the speakers further up and the grill went over a recessed metal fixture and was badly scratched. Fortunately Seismic Audio is able to sell me a grill replacement for $30.
Tomorrow I am going to call Seismic Audio and tell them they need to offer your covers at the time of sale and advise the potential purchasers that your covers could save them a lot of grief.
Your covers are of such high quality that they are worth twice as much as you ask for them. Keep up the good work. Feel free to share my story with others. You could even post a reference to it in your product description on E-BAY. Paint a vision in your prospective customer's mind of the damage that could occur without them.
There are no words to describe my appreciation to you for making this product available to us musicians!”

“I just opened the box with the (4) covers I
bought from you. I rarely buy or use "homemade" products in my
business because I don't want to deal with the hassle of poor designs or just
plain cheaply made products. Your covers have proven otherwise. The fit of the
covers (which at first I thought would be too loose) is actually perfect. OEM
covers are always too thin and too tight. Your covers are just the right
thickness, soft on the inside to protect my investment, and are a breeze to put
on and take off.
Not only are your covers great, but you are a pleasure to do business with. You
really have all of the bases covered. That is becoming more and more uncommon
on eBay, so thank you.
I wanted to let you know how happy I am with them. I will be buying more of
your covers.”

“I have been wanting to write you to tell you about my Mackie SRM350 experience. I have been using your covers for those for about 2 years or so. I like them, but due to how many cables I have and power cords, etc, I decided to pick up a couple of Mackie "official" bags with the shoulder strap and pockets in them. I thought they would make my life easier. Well, after 1 gig, I knew I made a mistake. Those bags are heavy, you can't use the shoulder strap well, it's hard to get the speakers in the bag, and you can't set them down on the rubber bottoms, you have to lay the bag on the ground (like in the snow or mud). I find your covers to be superior. They are light, durable, slip right over the speaker, and they don't take up so much room. I just thought you'd like to hear that. So, the Mackies are going on eBay tonight and I'm going back to yours.”

I have bought two different covers from Connie Shultz and am completely satisfied with both of my orders. The first time I ordered, I wanted covers for my two Behringer P.A. speakers.
Connie's covers fit perfectly, and protect my speakers quite well from road hazards. They look and feel great too. I've had other musicians ask me where I got them, and am always proud to tell.
Having had one good experience, I ordered a cover for my Roland Cube-60XL Bass amp, which was brand new and had earned its place in my onstage equipment. Connie sent me a prototype, so I could mark it for her and she could get it right. I guess mine is her first. Anyway, she nailed it. I now have a custom cover for my amp which is very practical but also protects this well loved piece of equipment. It fits just fine and seems very durable and also looks great. Highly recommended.

“I ordered a pair of speaker covers from Connie’s Covers for my son’s Harbinger APS-15 speakers. I e-mailed Connie, she had them in stock and they shipped promptly. The ordering process was easy. Connie is a professional with something you see too little of these days…a personal touch. My son received a nice note from her with the covers. He and I are very pleased with the quality, fit, look and price. You will be, too. Plus, it feels great to support a hands-on entrepreneur.”

“Just received them..."NICE FIT"....I have bought covers from speaker manufacturers that didn't have the simplicity nor the craftsmanship these have. I would encourage anyone who is looking to protect their speakers to buy a set from your company. I'm in the service industry myself as a Disc Jockey/Entertainer and I know the value of a positive review....Simply put...JOB WELL DONE...Thanks again!!”

“Covers for my Mackie speakers arrived super fast. They fit perfectly, and the clever design enables installation within seconds. With no zippers to jam or break, quality construction, and plenty of padding, I'm confident that these covers will hold up to my schedule of more than 100 shows this year, and will offer protection at least as good as covers costing three times as much. Highly recommended at any price, and will purchase again should they ever wear out.”

"I
recently purchased covers for my all of Behringer PA speakers (4 mains & 2
subs), and I couldn't be any happier with my purchase. An excellent experience
right from the start; superb communication, great people to deal with, and I
received the covers a lot quicker than you'd expect to receive a custom-made
product. And when I did receive them, I was even happier! The covers look
great, fit like a glove, and are well-made, heavy duty covers. I would have
expected to pay much more for products of this quality. If you're a gigging
musician and want to protect your investment in your equipment, this is
it!"

“I recently purchased some PR-15 Peavey speaker covers, and I must tell you that they are a great product! They saved my speakers! I was in an accident on 10-24-08 in which a young driver slid into my vehicle and music trailer totaling both and a lot of my equipment. The equipment trailer overturned and all the stuff inside slammed and bounced against each other, only the bottoms that weren’t protected were scratched, the covers got pretty scuffed up and worn, but they did their job perfectly!”

“Just wanted you to know how happy we are with your covers. We are a professional audio company and have made covers ourselves without the same professional results. We could not make the covers for what you charge. Covers have been on 8 gigs so far. Not a showing of wear or tear. Thanks and we will be doing business with you again. We know what it takes to make these.”

“Just writing to let you know that your covers are fantastic. I've always been frustrated with buying covers for speakers. They're overpriced and functionally terrible. These covers fit perfectly and protect my speaker mains better than the fancy and way too expensive manufacturers speaker bags I bought for my monitors. They are deceptively simple and cleverly constructed. And I agree with you about the color - the light color fabric makes them easy to locate sitting on the curb next to your van on a dark night. Thanks again.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you make covers for speaker cabinets, amplifiers, etc. other than those shown in the description?
A: I would love to assist you in covering your gear. Over the past few months, demand for my covers has so far exceeded my expectations that I reluctantly find I must prioritize requests for new designs in order to permit me more time meet my other responsibilities. I am essentially a one-person operation with limited part-time help. I can’t type and sew at the same time, so in order to keep stocked on the best-selling cover designs that I already offer, I will only add new designs for cabinets that are currently offered for sale (not custom or discontinued). Repeat/past customers are given priority as are requests to cover a pair of cabinets over those for single covers. If you provide me a link to the manufacturer’s specifications for the exact item you need covered, it will also help to speed my response since many companies offer different cabinets with similarly lettered numbers or extensions.
I’m not a factory, so I appreciate your patience as what I do is very time-intensive. I will respond to your request as soon as I can.
Q: What type of material is used?
A: I use moving blankets/furniture pads for all of the covers, cut to fit each different design. Most of the blankets are imported, woven, and listed as 75 pounds per dozen.
Q: Do the covers enclose the entire cabinet?
A: No, they do not. All of my designs are “dropover” covers, leaving the bottom of the cabinet exposed (where the manufacturer has usually installed “feet” to keep them from touching the floor). I think you will find that any covers you would purchase that fully enclose the cabinet will wear out at those spots more quickly. I have resisted adding flaps, straps, Velcro, etc., as this would increase the cost to you and make for an inventory nightmare for me.
Q: Could you add a pocket to store power cords, etc.?
A: I am certain that I could, but I have resisted doing so for a number of reasons, the most important of which is that the entire pocket would need to have its edges bound. Each pad I use has a finite amount of binding available. The pocket would add greatly to the time expended on the covers and increase the cost accordingly—another biggie for struggling musicians! I have it in mind to at some point begin to offer “gig bags” with a strap that would allow for ease in carrying cords and similar attachments, but I’ve just been too busy to evaluate the demand for such an item.
You are certainly welcome to make modifications to the covers once you have purchased them, of course.
Q: Are the covers waterproof?
A: No, but there are treatments available that you may apply yourself to make them so, I’m told. Here is a link to a supplier you could use if that is important to you:
Q: How are prices determined for the different covers?
A: That is an EXCELLENT question! The first criterion is the size of the cabinet. The larger the cabinet, the more material is used, thus the higher price.
Then, there is the nature of the pads, themselves. Their size is an estimate only and some are pieced together in such a way by the manufacturer that in order to get a pair of matching covers (the stitching going the same way on the body parts), it is necessary to cut several pads to get the needed components. Some topstitching designs are only sporadically available (until you open them up, you can’t tell which you’ll get). Sometimes there is a slightly different weight of fabric within the pad that makes sewing through them more difficult (and also makes for many more broken needles), but also makes for a terrifically protective cover!
Binding is another matter. In order to keep costs down, I recycle the binding the manufacturer sews around the outside edge of the pad. If the pad was evenly cut at the factory and the binding is straight, I may save time by using some of their hemmed edges without having to remove the binding, make the edge straight, cut out the pattern and reattach the binding. Sometimes, however, that is not the case. Depending on the stitching technique used on the binding, removal and reattachment of the binding can be very time-consuming.
The biggest price difference comes if your cabinets are carpeted. In that instance, I must bind all the cut edges before assembling the covers so that the padding doesn’t flake onto your carpeting each time you remove and put them on your gear. I usually don’t keep the designs for the carpeted cabinets in stock, so you may have to wait a bit longer for me to make those up.
