Mic Rider Problem Solver!

We now have stock of the fantastic new plug in DSP unit specifically for microphones! These units are the perfect accompaniment for speech microphones, and will make life SO MUCH EASIER for uses of sound systems.

This unit can be retrofitted onto most "wired" microphones, and gives you the folowing five powerful audio solutions:

  1. FBX Feedback Exterminator - removes feedback to give you increased sound levels before problems
  2. Automatic Gain Control - controls the sound level as you move closer and further from the mic
  3. Proximity Effect Control - controls excessive bass as you get closer to the mic, and maintains a flat response at all distances from the mic
  4. Plosive Control - controls loud pops and bursts from some sounds in speech
  5. Infrared Gate - TURNS THE MIC ON AND OFF AUTOMATICALLY



This unit looks to be the ideal upgrade for all microphones, including singers microphones and lectern microphones, you just plug it in and benefit from the power of DSP digital signal processing on your audio.

It is as useful as having a professional sound engineer IN EVERY MICROPHONE.

The unit works with microphones which have a standard 3-pin XLR connector, and in systems which have a minimum of 17V phantom power (most modern mixers do!). It even passes through phantom power to your active microphones - clever!

You can see the pictures and information (and buy!) from our store...

We know that this is the ONLY upgrade you need for your sound system this year!

PC Audio for churches


Can you advise me the best/simplest way to get sound from our laptop computer to our sound system. We use the laptop in the centre of the church and the PA is at the back. We don't want to have cables trailing everywhere. Thanks!


Great question, and we have the perfect product just added to our webstore. This is a common problem, and so here goes...



We have a USB -> radio -> receiver system, which means that you DO NOT NEED any cables running from your PC audio to your PA system!

The USB stick plugs into your computer (laptop or desktop) and transmits the audio output of your PC via 2.4GHz radio to a small receiver. The receiver has phono outputs as well as a jack output, and therefore it is simple to connect it to any mixer system!

Hey presto - audio from your computer to your PA sound reinforcement system without wires.

It also crosses my mind that this unit could also be used in the home for that "wireless" sound sytsem, and could also be used to send audio from a PC to active (powered) speakers directly for a really simple to get working PC based sound system. Any budding DJ's out there in our community?

SO, simple, great sounding audio from your PC is simple and easy!
