In just a couple weeks, we should be receiving the first batch of dual ear versions of d:fine omni mics.  The dual ear d:fine directional version will likely be shipping by mid-june.  Also, the short omni boom versions of the d:fine should be available by end of June.

For those of you who already have a d:fine mic, or wish to purchase a current single ear version, you will be able to simply purchase a "dual ear mount" accessory which can convert the single ear to a dual ear in a couple of seconds.

If a mic is ordered in the dual ear version, it will come with the dual ear mount. Ordered as a single ear, it will come with the single ear mount.  Dual-to-single mount accessories will also be available. 

You should purchase the version of a d:fine that you will use the majority of the time. At any time, you can add the dual ear or single ear accessory.

You can have the d:fine headset any way you want it. The d:fine is the most versatile, comfortable, reliable, and best sounding headset available today.

Keep in mind that every part of the d:fine headsets are easily replaceable. Ear mounts, cable assemblies, and adapters can always be replaced -- affordably. A d:fine headset is a lifetime investment. It isn't to be thrown away if it's a little "bent out of shape."

For wireless use, know that wireless adapters are available for nearly every kind of wireless, and that hardwired versions are available for Sennheiser 1/8" mini type belt packs (Evolution series), Sennheiser 3 pin Lemo compatible belt packs, Shure TA4F compatible belt packs, and Lectrosonics TA5F compatible belt packs.

If you have a question, please feel free to call.  To take a look at our currently-stocked DPA d:fine microphones, click here.  And if you'd like to try one, please let us know.  We stock demo models so that you can hear the difference for yourself.

In June of 2010, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) changed the landscape of how we all use wireless microphones.  For years, most manufacturers made equipment in the same general parts of the radio spectrum and users and dealers simply coordinated wireless microphone systems in and around unused pockets in the existing broadcast television airspace.  What made that easy was that television stations don't move around and the space between the stations was clearly defined, and relatively unused. 

With the conversion of all television stations to high definition (HD) transmission, the radio spectrum between 698-806MHz was cleared out for other uses (primarily wireless internet and wireless phones).  The result was that all wireless microphones in that range were deemed illegal.  And many television stations were forced to operate in two parts of the radio spectrum (one for digital, one for analog) which made things pretty messy for both broadcasters and users of wireless microphone systems.  Suddenly, about half the wireless microphones in use had to be replaced, and those users had to dodge twice as many television stations when selecting new equipment.

Heil Sound has announced an upgrade to their popular PR 35 handheld dynamic microphone.

The PR 35 was first introduced in 2008 and quickly found favor with artists such as Joe Walsh, Charlie Daniels, Stevie Wonder and others.

While at first glance the changes are cosmetic in the form of a new chassis, several significant internal improvements have also been made.

Rear rejection, which has always been a strength with the PR series of mics from Heil, is -42dB with the upgrade. A concealed two-position roll off switch replaces the former thumb switch.

Visually, the new PR 35 harkens to a time when wired handheld vocal mics had a certain "look" and could be identified when seen on camera.

The PR 35 ships with three interchangeable colored trim collars that can be mixed and matched.

The new PR 35 is still priced at $274, and is made in the USA. Try one today. 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
