Their attitude is: "If my mics still work, who's going to come along and stop me?" Like using Propofol for a sleep aid, it's fine until someone gets hurt. New 700 MHz services haven't activated many places, and when they are, they won't immediately affect every TV channel. But when they hit, 700 MHz mics will be "squashed like a bug," as Shure's Tim Vear says. And fined like a rock star.

Broadway musical The Book of Mormon was conceived in 2003 while South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were meeting with friend and producer Scott Rudin (South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut) in Manhattan. Noting the similarity between Team America's marionettes and Avenue Q's puppets, Rudin suggested they see Robert Lopez' Broadway musical. Afterwards they discovered a shared interest in both musical theater and Mormonism. After years of collaboration and workshops, they went straight to Broadway, with rehearsals and previews each lasting less than a month before opening March 24 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on 49th Street.

If the RE320 from Electro-Voice looks familiar, there's good reason: the RE320 derives its body style and incorporates technology used in E-V's popular RE20 and RE27N/D microphones. The RE320 features the humbucking coil used in the RE20 for reduced susceptibility to RF. It also uses the high-output Neodymium-magnet capsule used in the RE27N/D – but with a new low-mass diaphragm for improved transient and high-frequency response.

When I first got the email to review the new Sanken COS-11D microphone, I was pretty excited. I use a couple of different headset mics in my business, and was very interested in trying out this Sanken mic. In general, headset mics are very handy. The user has both of their hands free to play an instrument, give a presentation, draw on a whiteboard or just use two-hand gestures (if they are Italian). Plus, they have the freedom to move about the stage or audience. The downside of these mics is that they don't really sound very natural, and they can be prone to feedback.
