Goldmember 'phones bring the bling to your set
If you've been keeping up with our AudioTechnica journey, you'll remember Horibe* most recently from our trip to Integrate09. Aside from being a thoroughly good bloke (and a knowledgable one at that), he also has an impressive memory for all things 'Austin Powers'.
So, we were talking recently and the topic of our very own Dean came up. Horibe quickly said (in his best Goldmember impersonation) "Can I paint his yoo-hoo gold? It's kind of my thing, you know". After a slightly longer than awkward pause while we sipped an Asahi, we suggested that perhaps making a limited release pair of ATH-PRO700 GOLD headphones might be a little less painful AND way more people would get to see an AudioTechnica logo. "Oh yesh. Yesh yesh yesh yesh. This is a keeper" was the excited reply. I'm sure you'll agree that when he's wearing the 'goldmember' headphones, Dean looks "very toit. Yesh, toit like a toiger. Yesh Yesh Yesh"
*Horibe is real, the headphones are real, Dean is real, but most of the above is completely fabricated without permission from Dean, Horibe or even Mike Meyers. See an episode of FactorySoundTV featuring Horibe here. Get the headphones in store. They are seriously a limited edition, and we've only got 10 pair in stock. Recommended Retail Price is $349, but ring us or come in and we'll give you the full Factory Sound love when it comes to pricing.
Yesh, Yesh, YESH (i'll have what he's having)
Read full postNew blingCON from Neutrik
We've always trusted Neutrik for two things...connectors that 'sound' good (don't adversely affect the audio path), and connectors that are built like a brick dunny.
But now, seemingly after getting stars in their eyes courtesy a few too many nights watching Liechtenstein Idol, perhaps coupled with a nice bottle of Apfel Schnapps, Neutrik has come up with a way of helping stage performers not only sound great, but look the part too.
Introducing the crystalCON range of connectors (we thought they were going to call it blingCON).
The 3 members of the range are: NC3FXX-B-CRYSTAL for that special singer in your life, who would simply love to dazzle under the bright lights even more than usual, NC3MXX-B-CRYSTAL for the metro-audiovisuals among us who firmly (but not too firmly) believe that males should be allowed to dress as nicely as females, and lastly (yet, probably most importantly) the NP2X-B-CRYSTAL, just perfect for a lead guitar solo played with one foot on the wedge, with the beautiful crystals picking up and tossing in all directions the light coming from the guitarist follow-spot operator.
We're told that we're not allowed to supply NP2X-B-CRYSTAL to bass guitarists. Unless they can prove that they will be wearing a purple lycra jumpsuit with silver cape when they will be using the connector.
Seriously, if you need a new lead for your microphone or guitar...ask about having one of these sexy new connectors put on the relevant end. It may just be the extra conversation starter you need for those all important moments straight after the show....
