Symetrix 528E Added to the Ultra Rig

I recently noticed Rane Corp. discontinued the VP-12 vocal processor which had been included in the Ultra-Rig. Too bad — this was a nice piece of gear from a great company. I also noticed the price of Symetrix 528E vocal processor has been decreased to $499. This is a quality piece of gear and it subsequently replaces the Rane in the Ultra-Rig.

It has been a year since I developed the Podcastrigs site and concept. I am in the process of re-designing the Rig pages, and adding additional links to software applications and accessories.

Heil Proline Mics at The Expo

A month before the Podcast and Portable Media Expo, Todd Cochrane from Geek News Central contacted me in reference to a post here on the site. He was wondering if I thought the Heil PR-40 would be a suitable merit award for Adam Curry and Leo Laporte. I had been in contact with Bob Heil, who graciously sent me the mic for evaluation. I knew this mic would be a great choice for the awards.

During my session at The Podcast Academy on Thursday, the PR-40 was my ‘Hot-Ticket’ recommendation to those who attended. Since then, Leo mentioned to me he absolutely loves the mic, and I just heard Adam’s latest cast. He was on the PR-40 and sounded great.

Anyone considering a pro-level dynamic broadcast mic should seriously consider the Heil PR-40. Just an amazing deal with beautiful signature sound.
