    The Practilite 602 is the world's first and smallest bi-color, variable beam smart LED light which can also perfectly compliment any existing light conditions. The Practilite 602 comes with an app for smartphones and is Bluetooth capable. This remote function is cost-effective and especially useful for single-person shooters or small crews when a gaffer is not available. The Practilite 602 makes event lightning, documentary shooting and field interviews more efficient as managing the lighting setup and adjustments can now be done with greater ease. Our unique fresnel lens design provides greater light range than conventional LED fixtures and enables superior color mixing. This enables wider shot angles and precise light-shaping without losing the LED output power/throw which is typically the case with barndoor controlled fixtures. This compact and powerful fresnel light is designed to gather and throw as much light as possible through its 3.2" 80mm fresnel lens, providing you with unprecedented size to light output ratio. In today's real life production environments so many different types of bulbs are being used that one cannot simply rely on "tungsten" anymore. Be it CFL, LED, halogen and other types of lighting, our Practilite 602 is just the right tool to adapt to these various lighting conditions. The variable color temperature allows operators to adjust to a variety of color temperatures that each shooting location requires. From tungsten to daylight and any lighting situation in between, you just dial in the matching color balance, tune and the brightness from your smartphone. It's just that easy with everything at your fingertips. No more lowering the light stands or searching for a ladder, just to tune the brightness or color temperature as you adjust it remotely from your smartphone.

    Techflex NSN0.63 5/8 Inch Non-Skid Expandable Sleeving - Neon Yellow - 100 Ft. Non-Skid is a unique combination of our standard PET material braided together with high-friction polymer filaments. Non-Skid is engineered primarily for wire and cable management on smooth floor, high traffic environments such as broadcast studios where someone might inadvertently step on a cable snake and slip. As long as there's no excessive pressure on the cables protected with Non-Skid, the entire snake glides easily and quietly along the floor. When local pressure is applied, such as when someone steps on the cable, the high friction material comes in contact with the floor and reduces the possibility of the cable sliding out from underfoot. Non-Skid is substantially less "slippery" than our regular PET, yet provides the same level of flexibility and protection from cable wear and abrasion.

    RDL HD-MA35U/A 35W EcoFriendly Mixer Amplifier

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 15, 2011


    Radio Design Labs HD-MA35U/A 35 W Mixer Amplifier The HD-MA35UA is a four input audio mixer amplifier for systems demanding the broadest range of features and the highest energy efficiency. Two output power amplifier zones, 35 watts (Zone 1) and 4 watts (Zone 2), are driven from high-efficiency Class D amplifier stages. The mixer and amplifier sections all normally shut down (standby "sleep" mode) when audio is absent and automatically turn on when needed. The Zone 1 amplifier output level may be VCA controlled using various optional RDL remote controls, or by industry standard 0 to 10 Vdc or 0 to 10k ohm controls. This output provides a constant voltage output (25 V, 70 V or 100 V). The Zone 2 amplifier output drives an 8 ohm speaker and/or 600 ohm telephone equipment. The HD-MA35UA is engineered, tested and manufactured in the U.S.A. to strict energy conservation standards. The unit consumes less than 1 watt of mains power in standby mode, and meets power amplifier efficiency specifications with analog-filtered Class-D digital output stages for both power amplifier output zones and for the 600 ohm output. The HD-MA35UA features two mixers. The Zone 1 mixer is located on the front-panel providing user level and tone controls for the 35 watt amplifier output. The tone controls adjust the equalization at the Zone 1 amplifier output and can be switch selected on the rear panel to also adjust the equalization at the line-level output. The Zone 2 mixer on the rear panel provides level trimmers normally set by the installer to provide music-on-hold and/or for background music in a small zone equipped with an 8 ohm speaker. The Zone 2 section includes a 4 watt amplifier, a 600 ohm transformer-balanced MOH output, and an active balanced line-level output that may be used to feed another audio power amplifier. The HD-MA35UA has four inputs that are common to both mixers. Inputs 1 and 2 accept balanced mic or line level sources. Inputs 3 and 4 accept unbalanced mono or stereo line-level sources. Input 1 is switch-selectable MIC or LINE. Phantom voltage (IEC standard 24 Vdc) is switch-selectable for the microphone input. The line input is transformer isolated and accepts balanced or unbalanced, high or low impedance audio sources. A gain trimmer is provided to set the input preamplifier to the optimum gain for the installation. A paging source is normally connected to Input 1. This input is equipped with push-to-talk terminals and with an adjustable threshold VOX circuit with LED threshold indicator, either (or both) of which may be set to duck ("fade down" or "mute") inputs 2, 3 and/or 4 by 25 dB when a paging signal is active on Input 1. The attenuated inputs fade up to normal volume when the paging message is finished. A rear-panel trimmer allows the start of the fade-up to be delayed from 2 to 6 seconds. Input 2 is switch-selectable MIC or LINE. Phantom voltage (IEC standard 24 Vdc) is switch-selectable for the microphone input. The line input is active balanced and accepts balanced or unbalanced, high or low impedance sources. A gain trimmer is provided to set the input preamplifier to the optimum gain for the installation. An RDL Dual-LED VU meter is provided on the rear panel to indicate proper gain adjustment for Inputs 1 and 2. Correct input gain adjustment insures adequate mixer stage headroom. Inputs 3 and 4 each provide unbalanced stereo RCA input jacks, summed to mono. The presence of a signal on any of the inputs causes the HD-MA35UA to fully turn on, activating both Zone 1 and 2 power amplifiers and all associated mixing, equalization and compressor circuitry. When input signals are absent, a delay timer is initiated. Rear-panel DIP switches are provided to set the power-down delay timer to a value between 10 minutes and 2 hours in 10 minute increments. After the time-out period, the HD-MA35UA enters the sleep mode until an input signal is received. The switches may be set to disable the sleep mode for systems specifying continuous amplifier operation...

One end of the cable is used to stream a continuous tone from an iPod or other mp3 player to the camera. This fools the camera into lowering the audio gain. The other end of the cable is used to connect a microphone or preamp to the camera. Only one channel is recorded but that is easily resolved in post production by deleting the "tone" channel and duplicating your "good" channel. This provides a solution to the cameras' lack of manual audio controls. TRS 3.5mm Mini Male to 1 TRS 3.5mm Mini Male and 1 TRS 3.5mm Mini Female. 1 Foot.
