New headset mic... - 12/23/13 06:14 PM
I'm a headset mic guy, Donny, Fran and Dave love their handhelds, Don Mason is trying to cope with a headset, but it probably won't happen. My ONLY gripe about the Crown CM-311A is it just ain't pretty. Some folks with bad eyesight thought I had a cigar stump in my mouth before they realized it was the mic. I tried many competitors, including Countryman E6, and others and never come up with anything remotely close to the vocal qualities that the CM-311A produced.
Just got an email from Don Mason, and wanted to know if anyone here had the opportunity to try out the new Samson Airline Earset system. Samon Airline Micro Earset System To me it looks pretty neat, lightweight, and because it is flesh colored, situated to the side of the mouth, I would look less intrusive to the audience.
Samson also came out with a new Q8, which replaced the Q7. Samson makes some really great mics, and the prices are pretty darned good as well. When I was using a handheld, that Q7 beat the socks off my old Shure SM58s.
Cheers,
Gary
