December 2021
Welcome to the December issue of <monitor input> 
 
In this issue:
 
 
 
It's been a while since you have received a newsletter from us, so let's keep you up to date ....

Firstly, we do wish you a very happy and peaceful Christmas and a healthy and prosperous new year 2022.

Brexit happened and shipping costs increased (especially with ME-Geithain where we were hit with expensive handling costs to get the pallets through Customs), but we have managed to keep product prices the same over the year.
 
However, manufacturers have been hit with inctreased raw materials and shipping costs and are now starting to pass these increases on to us.
 
Håkan Pop Killer prices are now £48 +VAT each, AETA codecs now have a 5% increase and ME-Geithain loudspeakers have also increased in price.
 
Gefell microphones are still the same price, but I do understand they are working on a new price list and expect a price increase from them in the new year.  So if you have been thinking about a new Gefell microphone please don't put it off too long if you want to get it at the old price - we do have demo models of most Gefell microphones available if you need to try one out first.
 
We do also have most of the HUM Audio ribbon microphones available for demonstration.  These are very special ribbon microphones which are loved by the people who have tried them.
 
During the year we updated the Sound-Link website to a secure "https" site, so there should be no more "not secure" messages anymore.  In the past we had left it as a standard site as we do not sell directly from the site, but have decided that the "not secure" messages were annoying and so upgraded to "https".

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NEW
 
Affordable mic. clip for Gefell microphones
 
You may have noticed that Gefell small diaphragm capacitor microphones and handheld microphones come as standard without a mount.
 
There are several reasons for this: some users prefer a shockmount, others may also have plenty of available clips, the Gefell metal clip, etc..
 
Although we offer prices with or without the Gefell metal mount, we have now sourced an excellent and affordable clip which fits all the Gefell SDC and handheld microphones.
 
The MH 20 is an inexpensive and affordable clip that fits microphones with a body diameter starting at 20mm - so it suits all the Gefell SDC microphones that have a diemeter of 21mm (M 300 series, M 970 series, SMS 200 series, etc.) - it also works well with the dynamic handheld microphones: MD 100, MD 110, MD 120 and the capacitor M 900 and M 910 handheld microphones.  It also works with the large diaphragm UMT 70S and MT 71S if you only want a simple clip (though the Rycote INV-7HG III suspension is popular for these).
 
This new clip is delivered complete with a thread adaptor to convert from the ⅝" US thread to the international standard ⅜" thread.
 
So you now have an affordable solution for you SDC microphones.
 

 
AETA Audio
to whet your appetite ...
 
          
 
 
AETA Audio have been developing some exciting things of late...

They are now offering DANTE in several codecs, they had a Ravenna option in the past - now there is also a DANTE option; and DANTE seems to be popular in the UK.
 
5G is here!  AETA now offer 5G on the ScoopTEAM (pictured above left) and will be intriducing it on more and more codecs in the coming months.
 
NEW PRODUCTS - Introduced at IBC, the new ScoopyFlex (pictured above right) will be coming next year.

We will give more details later, but if you are considering new codecs in the new year please give us a call.
 
AETA are famous, not only for their high quality codecs, but also for the superb audio quality they offer (it's no use having a good codec if it overloads and distorts when a sports commentator gets excited and starts shouting).

 
 
 
 
HÅKAN POP KILLERS
 
We try and keep all 10 Pop Killer versions in stock all the time if we can and do have them all in stock at the moment.

Håkan introduced a new gooseneck version earlier in the year, so we have renamed the gooseneck versions to easily identify them.
 
version 1 - this is the original gooseneck version with the ¾" clamp
 
version 2 - this is the second version that has the 1" clamp and is getting to be the version of choice for many
 
version 3 - this is the new version.  This has a small plate instead of the clamp of the versions above, so the gooseneck can be directly attached to the stand and held in place by the microphone clip (designed for the ⅜" international mic. stand standard)

All versions are now available here for immediate delivery.
 
Unfortunately prices went up recently and we have had to raise the retail price to £48 +VAT, but this is still a very competitive price for such an excellent pop filter.
