Dani Fontrodona Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 My favorite sound gear purchases in 2012: Cinela Piano windshield Ambient QP 4140 boom pole Pro-Sound Sanken Cos11 vampire clips Petrol Bag PS602 (thanks Richard Thomas) Zaxcom ERX2TDC's Zaxcom Nomad 12 and a dozen of Phil Palmer's style carpets. Happy 2013 everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Not so much this yr in the way of fancy soundie hardware (I do like my remade leaner-meaner rigs though, but the same gear as before)--the biggy for me was a work vehicle, Ford Transit Connect. Nice taking off for jobs w/o worries about getting there! In my 2012 drive for simplification I also subtracted a huge amount of gear and cable and racks etc from my studio, nice to have the room and a much simpler signal path. And big props to JoeCo (swapping me out my balky BBR for another even though the warranty had expired) and PMC (very reasonably priced upgrade of my studio monitors to the current version after an amp in one of my old ones died). Gotta love English technology! philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominiquegreffard Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I'd probably use it every day if it had 4 inputs,TC and 2 track recording... That s why IMHO sd should release a tc iso recording 302. I wonder why they released the 664 before an updated version of they re classic 302 (probably a strategic answer to the nomad?) They would sell so many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Thomas Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Petrol Bag PS602 (thanks Richard Thomas) Thanks Dani! I've been keeping everything small (size-wise) this year: Senn 8060/WS1 setup Wisycom MCR42 dual rx DPA 4071's and Sonosax SX-R4 (used) Was quite an expensive one :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Yes, I'm expecting a very small list for 2013 (I hope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Martin Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 My Nomad 6 (now a 10) came this year (but was technically bought LAST year). Other than that, I'd say my best purchase was my QRX100 with 2 TRX900LTs. The zaxnet controls and internal records have changed the way I work, in a very good way. Or possibly my comtek 216's which VERY quickly paid themselves off and now just make me money. Not as sexy, but a beautiful thing. My 2013 list already has another QRX100 and two TRX900LTH's (or LA's) penciled in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Burstein Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I'll be officially posting my 552 for sale soon because the 664 is on its way-so keep an eye open! Best purchase this year was an mkh 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atheisticmystic Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I upgraded my kit with fantastic used gear, but the Lectro Remote App for iPhone wins hands down as best purchase. (Maybe hands sideways, the gear insurance has brought a huge chunk of serenity as well) Have a prosperous one, Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundmanjohn Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I moved up from my old Soundfield ST250 to an ST450, thanks to Ken Giles at Soundfield. At the other end of the scale, I bought a pair of Karma-Mic Silver Bullet mics for $35 which saved my butt the first time I used them. And I continue to relish the advice and information that this list provides. Best wishes for the New Year, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathaniel Robinson Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I'm on the lower end of this industry, and about 40% of my work is in music. Sound Devices 702T - a welcome upgrade from the HD-P2 (not to throw that machine under the bus) Sennheiser MKH40 - great on a boom and on acoustic guitar Audio Technica 825 - Perfect x/y mic for metal/hardcore shows, mainly for its tolerance of high SPLs and beer spillage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Pert Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Mix 8 for my fusion! Game changer! I'm not sure how I worked without linear faders before. Love it so much even use it on simple sit down interviews or whenever I'm not in the bag, not just for features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Thomas Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Also, for any synth nerds here, you may appreciate that I got a Jomox Sunsyn.
