MAYCOM MICTUBE
Microphone to Line Level Mic Preamplifier

[ Back to Top ]


The Maycom MicTube is a high-quality, professional balanced microphone preamplifier housed in an elongated XLR connector. It is powered by one single AAA battery that will last up to 30 hours. Its purpose is to raise the microphone's output to line level so you can plug it into the line input of a sound recording device. Input gain control is provided via a mini-potentiometer on the side of the MicTube and 3-colour LEDs are also provided to show level and overload readout indication. The MicTube is designed to be used with the line input of any MP3, MD, DAT, Cassette, Laptop, PC or Camcorder. Even if your MP3 machine has a mic input (rare), using a MicTube into the line input will give you a considerably better result, because consumer audio devices almost always have a very poor quality (thin-sounding) microphone preamplifiers.

  • Pro Quality XLR Mic Preamp

  • Connects your microphone* to the line input of an MP3, MD or Cassette Recorder, Camcorder, PC or Laptop

  • Flying lead terminated in a 3.5mm Mini-Jack plug

  • Amplifies the microphone output to high quality line level

  • Manual Gain Adjustment

  • 30 hours battery life

*Any dynamic microphone or battery-powered condenser microphone can be used with the MicTube - please ask us if you require advice on microphones.

Reinhardt PG2 Pistol Grip

 

W22 "Whisper" Windshield

 

Your Audio-Technica Short Shotgun Mic ready for use!


The Reinhardt PG2 Pistol Grip

As with everything, the are pistol grips and pistol grips. We've looked at them all and the PG2, made by a Danish company called Rienhardt, is the one we like the best because it is machined (not moulded) from a light weight shatter proof plastic, reducing the weight by up to 38% over other designs.

The PG2 is designed to fit virtually all microphones because it is supplied with 3 sizes of rubber grommets to fit microphones from 18mm diameter to 24.5mm diameter. The PG2 will therefore fit all the the mics we sell. The rubber grommets are easily changed and can even be combined to fit microphones with special shapes. These grommets also prevent the microphone from slipping out of the barrel when pointing vertically down and and moving rapidly.

Embedded in the base of the grip is a 3/8” whitworth thread for boom-pole mounting and the microphone cable sits neatly out of the way in a machined groove under the hand grip. The soft foam grip fits comfortably in the hand minimizing fatigue when held for long periods. It is made of high quality Kraton rubber with extra soft gel inserts and has a slip-free surface for a secure grip and ergonomic shape for a very comfortable hand position.

This robust pistol grip will last many years under the harsh TV and Film production environment.


The W22 "Whisper" Windshield

When we researched enclosed microphone windshield systems, it was clear to us that Reinhardt offered the best designed wind-gags in the marketplace.

Their PG2 It may not be the best known, but their “Whisper” series is most definitely superior to other more widely available designs.

Available for pistol, boom and camera mounted microphones, the Reinhardt "Whisper" is hand made in Denmark by Danish craftsmen to exacting specifications, ensuring perfect performance and reliability.

It is beautifully finished with acoustically transparent silver gray synthetic fur and a soft leather trim.

The HW (Hi-Wind) versions we sell have proven to be effective with gusts of 10m/s (22MPH) reducing the wind noise by up to 18dB.

The "Whisper" is light, easy and quick to fit, and we offer several versions of the W22 (see listings below) for the various different microphones we sell, so you can be confident in acquiring undisturbed recordings with your investment in the majority of conditions.

RODE DEADCAT WIND-GAG & SM4 SUSPENSION

[ Back to Top ]

Wind-Gag & Suspension for the Rode NTG-1 & NTG-2 Short Shotgun Microphones
 

Rode Deadcat

DeadCat shown fitted to the Rode NTG-1 Short Shotgun

Rode SM4 Suspension Mount

The Rode DeadCat Wind-Gag

The aptly (if unfortunately) named RODE DeadCat provides adequate wind protection for the Rode NTG-1 & NTG-2 short shotgun mics. It is designed to be fitted like a sleeve over the foam windshield provided with your NTG1 or 2. For use in windy conditions, is claimed to be acoustically transparent to ensure the only thing you eliminate is the wind noise. (For even more wind protection, see our Reinhardt W22 wind-gags above.)

The Rode SM4 Suspension

The RODE SM4 is a shockmount suspension designed for the RODE NTG-1 & NTG-2 microphones. It may also be used with any microphone with similar dimensions. The microphone fits through and is gripped by the centre cross points of the four rubber suspension rings, and is thus isolated from any hard surfaces. It is therefore ideal when the microphone is used on a stand or boom (should not be used with Reinhardt PG2 Pistol Grip).

The Reinhardt PG2 Pistol Grip

This excellent Pistol Grip may be used with the Rode NTG-1 & NTG-2 (and most other) Short Shotgun Microphones. Click here to be taken to picture and full description.

HARD CASES
Robust & Waterproof Equipment Cases

[ Back to Top ]

Solid State Sound Recorders and their associated kit (microphones, etc.) are a valuable investment which can all too easily be damaged beyond repair if dropped. It is no wonder, then, that many of our customers choose to store their equipment in one of our hard cases.

The case in our picture shows just one equipment storage solution (sorry, recorders & microphones are not included in our case prices!). The customisable 'pick and pluck' foam insert in all our cases (listed below) allows you to choose your own arrangement and add other items.

All our hard cases are made by Peli and they are completely unbreakable, watertight, dustproof, chemical resistant and corrosion proof. In other words, they provide total protection for your equipment. They are made of Ultra High Impact structural copolymer that makes them extremely strong and durable. Their exclusive 6.4 mm neoprene o-ring and ABS latches seal perfectly and includes an automatic purge valve for quick equalization after changes in atmospheric pressure. Your equipment can fit into the high density foam of the case for total subjection and protection against impact, vibration or shock.

We offer several sizes of hard case below. Have a look at the dimensions of the recorder/s we sell (see under Specifications on each of our our product pages), and then look at the internal dimensions of each size of case we offer below. Often you will be able to fit what you need into a choice of more than one case depending on whether you store it sideways, upright or flat. There is bound to be one that is right for you!

MICROPHONE LEADS - Female XLR to Male XLR

[ Back to Top ]

Many of the solid state sound recorders we sell are equipped with female XLR sockets for microphone input, and all the professional microphones we sell come with a male socket. You will therefore need one of our Female XLR to Male XLR leads below in order to interface your microphone/s with your recorder.

All the microphone leads we offer at Solid State Sound are hand-made by our sister company, Connectronics, and use their most popular cable, MUSIFLEX, and industry standard connectors from Neutrik.

If you would like to choose from a wider choice of leads than we offer on this site, please go to www.connectronics.uk.com - you can add anything on that site to the same shopping basket as the one you use for this site, so it's as easy as pie.
