This has been one of the most fascinating topics I’ve ever written about. As I’ve been Twittering and reading conversation threads on the CTDRT boards, there seem to be three camps of people in the rechargeable battery debate. The first group has used them for years, loves them and wouldn’t consider going back to alkaline [...]

Battery Shootout—Mike’s Picks
If you’ve missed the previous two posts on rechargeable batteries, you need to go back and read about the test, and the result. Got that? OK, good. So now we’ve run the test, analyzed the results, it’s time to pick a winner, right? Sure, fine. But let me remind you what didn’t win: The ProCell. [...]
Free Passes to NAB, Anyone?
I’ve seen a few people requesting passes to NAB on Twitter the last few weeks, and I’ve got good news for you. As a loyal reader (or even if you’re a new reader) of this blog, we can offer you free access to NAB this year. That’s right, free. OK, it’s not that big of [...]
Battery Shootout—The Results Show
Last time, I explained the test parameters, the setup and listed the batteries under test. Go back and read that post if you want to see the test conditions (yes, I had the battery meters set correctly to match the chemistry of the batteries). Today it’s time for the results show. Based on the traffic [...]

Others are pretty much biased agains rechargeable batteries of any type (except, presumably, the ones in their phones, cars, laptops, cordless phones, PS3 remotes, etc…). In [...]
A Seat at the Table
Today I was talking with Bob Nahrstadt of Next Creative Media as we made some plans for next week’s CTDRT SoCal Meeting. Something he said brought to mind a comment he made on our webinar a while back. He was talking about managing our technical ministry in such a way that we get a seat [...]
Producing The Webinars
I had a lot of questions about how we produced last week’s webinar on IEMs. It took a bit of testing and several different bits and pieces of software. The tricky part was getting both audio and video routed to LiveStream in a way that didn’t cause weird internal processing delay echoes. I was able [...]
CTDRT SoCal Area Meet Up March 8
I’ve been twittering about this, posting to the CTDRT Google group and even e-mailed a few people but I felt I should also mention this meeting here. A week from today, on March 8, TDs from all over Southern California will be gathering in Orange County to encourage and learn from each other. I’ve been [...]
