These were used for DJ and Radio paging systems but are great for front end daw recordings. Just make sure you run a small ground wire from the back of unit to a 3 prong adapter with the wire on it, then attach the ground wire to the plug and your set, no noise at all. This is the best solid state alternative for the money. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

“I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!”
