PZMs are gone. The lav mike that Paul Stamler liked so much is gone.
Dunno about rebadged Shures.

Thanks for the heads up on the sound level meter Scott!

Actually they have a couple Shure dynamics (radioshack.com) that are not
rebadged at all. I wonder what the same mics are called in the Shure product
line?

It looks like their champion cheap rebadged Koss phones are gone, but
there are some new phones on there, including a Seinnheiser (sic) and Koss
pair. Like everything else Shack, the 49$ "radioshack" closed ear phones are
probably a rebadge, but I dont recognize the model.





Something extremely close to the champion Koss cheapies are
available via https:// order from Koss off the website.

Wasn't that the rumor here three or four years ago, that it was
being discontinued? Maybe they keep saying that to keep sales up.

How does the analog unit compare to the digital one?
Is one more accurate than the other?

The digital one is harder to follow with your eyes, which is an
excellent reason to use the analog one.

When dealing with sound level, unless it's something constant (like a
sine wave) it's useful to take an eyeball average of a constantly
changing reading. Most of us find that easier to do with an analog
meter than watching digits flip on an LCD.

That was never "my" show, but I do fill in on occasion on that and a few
things. I have decided I hate the sound of the Calrec Sigma they have up there
in that room. The micpres sound like mosquitos, they have a small amount of
analog gain (maybe 30db?) and the rest is done in the digital domain - yuck.

Anyway mostly just the daytime news wheel for a hour or two, "The Big
Story with John Gibson" or "Your World w/ Neil Cavuto" 4 days a week, and then
voiceovers and some of the preproduced weekend shows tapings like Cal Thomas,
Fox Weekend Magazine, Sunday Best, Cavuto Weekend...

Sounds like some variety. And it's gotta beat getting up so early.
