Fletcher 07/29/09 10:44 AM, 0 CommentsThe great “democratization” of audio which started the undoing of the traditional recording studio in the 1990s, has mushroomed into a thriving industry. On the level of national releases, it seems that only a very rare few are recorded in a proper studio from beginning to end.

Mike Wireless 06/23/09 06:46 AM, 1 CommentThe newest wireless system offering from Lectrosonics, the D4, is the first one I’m reviewing that does not use the UHF spectrum.

The FCC considers the ISM band to be license free, but still puts restrictions in place on how much power transmitters can have… View this story
