Often seen in photographs along with iconic people from dictators to heads of state to rock n’ roll stars, the Shure 55 is the most recognized microphone in the world. First produced in 1939, the original Model 55 Unidyne microphone was the first single-element unidirectional dynamic microphone. From its beginnings at that time being a cardioid pattern microphone, its smaller size made it a true classic that was affordable and accessible to all. Then… View this story

Mike Wireless 06/04/09 01:09 PM, 2 CommentsA number of manufacturers have introduced new wireless microphone systems in the past two years – many of them in response to the changes in the RF spectrum brought about by the FCC.

PSW Staff 05/26/09 12:28 PM, 0 CommentsWork was proceeding normally in the design and construction of the new 550-seat sanctuary for the Vineyard Church in Duluth, Minnesota, when something unexpected occurred.

Wednesday, March 18, 2009Barry’s DAW Toolkit: Review Of The Novation Nocturn With Automap 3 Pro
Barry Rudolph 03/18/09 02:02 PM, 1 CommentMy DAW desktop surface is more crowded than ever---and I’m loving it! I just added the new Novation Nocturn Plug-in Controller to my small army of DAW accessories. As DAW plug-ins become more complex and intense, their GUIs (graphical user interface) have become more jam packed with more parameter controls than ever! And in order to keep their GUI’s screen size to a minimum, the controls and buttons keep getting smaller and smaller. Even though I get new glasses often,… View this story

The iLiveT was launched last month at Winter NAMM 2009, and the British manufacturer has been overwhelmed as distributors have placed orders months in advance to cope with demand. “The response to iLive-T has been unprecedented and production is now flat out to fulfill orders,” explains Managing Director Glenn Rogers. “In all my years in the pro audio industry I’ve rarely seen a reaction to… View this story

Thursday, January 29, 2009Fletcher’s NAMMservations (Or How I Went To Winter NAMM ‘09 And Learned About Drum Stick Free Zones)
Fletcher 01/29/09 05:56 PM, 0 CommentsDay 1 Dateline: ANAHEIM, CA, USA - So I was a day late in showing up for NAMM… which isn’t necessarily a bad thing because this is pretty much an annual event akin to the Bill Murray film “Groundhog Day” (where the same nonsense happens day after day until the lead role “gets it right”). Late or not, I arrived to find the same vendors of “custom” (in other words, off the rack) guitar pick guards… The same drum companies… View this story
