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. [...]

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 [...]
Da-Cappo DA-12 Earset Mic
Recently we had the opportunity to test a few mics from Da-Cappo. I’ve been hearing more and more about them of late and was immediately interested in trying one out when my rep offered. We had two different models, the standard DA-12 and a shorter-boomed child’s version. Normally we use the Countryman e6 for earset [...]
System Design With a Tight Budget
A week ago, we held a webinar with Jason Cole, Dave Stagl and Bob Nahrstadt of Next Creative media. The topic? System design. You can listen to the audio here. One of the main takeaways from that webinar is that most of the time, the best course of action for a church to take when [...]
Going to NAMM?
One thing that is kinda cool about living in rough proximity to LA is the preponderance of trade shows that are within driving distance. For years it seems, people have been asking me, “Are you going to NAMM?” I’ve always answered, “No,” because it’s on the other side of the country. Well, now I’m also [...]
Rechargeable Battery Update
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about rechargeable batteries. Mainly because there was no new news with the Ansmann brand we had been using, and I wanted to try out the new ones for a while before giving an update. Thankfully, the wait was worth it, and this is good news.

A Couple Useful Links & A Personal Update
Well, it’s Miscellaneous Wednesday, so I thought I’d share a few things with you that I’ve found useful. First of all, I saw a Tweet last week from @Macs In Church that was a link to a pretty interesting site if you work with video at all: Zach Poff Software. Zach Poff is a New York [...]
It’s the Final Countdown
Cue up fire from my hands as I thrust them dramatically to the sky! (This is the first of a series of Arrested Development references this week–get used to it) While I couldn’t get Gob to join us today, I thought I would remind you, in case you’ve been locked in a tech booth somewhere [...]
Solder Fest 09 Continues
I love soldering. I love making cables. I’ve even written excessively about it on this site (here, here and here). There is just something satisfying and rewarding about making your own mic cable, or a sub snake, or a patch bay. Perhaps it’s the joy of knowing you just made future set ups a little [...]
The Drum Condo–Does it Work?
Well, now that the site is back up and moving at something close to normal speed, we’ll get back to the drum condo series. First, in answer to the above question, the short answer is yes! To some extent, that’s the best I’ve got, as I’ve not yet had time to get any actual readings [...]
