The Mini CL‑25’s hard‑soldered, wire‑free internal architecture ensures maximum sig- nal integrity and long‑term durability. {neutrik.us}

PRINT, MULTIMEDIA & GIFTS Audio-Technica introduces two new MS (mid-side) stereo broad- cast microphones: the BP350ST-UB and BP350ST-UL.

For both the BP350ST-UB and BP350ST-UL, the mid-side capsule configuration provides crisp, clear, well-balanced response, even at highSPLs. A switch on the included AT8547 power module allows users to choose be- tween left-right stereo output (wide or narrow) and discrete mid-side signals for later manipulation. {audio-technica.com} AUDIO-TECHNICA BP350ST-UB, BP350ST-UL MS STEREO MICROPHONES
