AddThis Social Bookmark Button


For a few months, Blue Microphones has been working behind the scenes with Jimmy Iovine’s team at Interscope Records and Beats by Dre to create a world class microphone for on-stage use by the contestants of American Idol. Beginning with the performances of March 1, American Idol debuted this new wireless microphone custom-built specifically for this season’s performers. Combining the sonic detail, clarity, and unique head design of Blue’s enCORE 300, the style of Beats by Dre, and pioneering new digital wireless technology from Line 6, this innovation is rocking the American Idol stage! 

This custom wireless microphone system is not available for sale.  Check out the solid Line 6 lineup here.  It's as close as you can get.  In stock for immediate shipment!

Heil RC Capsules Catching On

The Heil RC 35 and 22 wireless capsules have become a fantastic solution to improving existing screw-on wireless handheld transmitters. Country superstars Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood were among the first to jump in. Up and coming country star Easton Corbin just took delivery of an RC 35. Myles Kennedy, with Slash's band, just ordered two. Big Time Rush (those of you with kids will know the group) took four RC's on a promotional tour of Europe. Stone Temple Pilots, Paul Rodgers, Third Eye Blind and the Palm Springs Follies are all using RCs on their wireless rigs.

On a related note, the Line 6 XD V70 accepts both the RC35 and the RC 22 capsules. Hot rod your XD-V70 with an RC35 or RC22.  We have Line 6 XD-V70 handheld systems and Heil RC capsules in stock.  Order online or call today!

We'd like to welcome Mike Sessler as a content contributor to the Geartechs.com site.  Mike is the creator of the ChurchTechArts blog and it's a privilege that we can share his insights with you. 

Mike is currently the Technical Arts Director at Coast Hills Community Church in Aliso Viejo, CA. He has nearly 20 years of experience working in churches and providing excellent sound, lighting and video. As a system designer, engineer and creative content producer, Mike enjoys nothing more than using the gifts given him by God for the benefit of the local church. As a speaker, author and trainer, his reach has been extended beyond the community he calls home.

With an infectious dedication to excellence, he thoroughly enjoys helping others create the best worship experience. Normally quiet and reserved, if asked to “talk tech,” he will go on for hours. He is also known for writing about himself in the third person (in order to appear humble).

**Important Safety Tip: Even though Mike is currently on staff at Coast Hills, the views expressed are not necessarily those of the church, though hopefully they will line up more often than not…**
