Leo Laporte You came up with a very good idea. People like how John sounds when he is in Port Angeles, when he is up in Washington State and the reason is, John?
John C. Dvorak It’s because I am using the fabulous PR 40 from Heil.
Leo Laporte Heil PR 40. Isn’t it warm and luscious and delicious?
John C. DvorakWhat I don’t like about it is that, in fact, I think people should consider this when they are podcasting, it’s a – it’s not a condenser so that saves you typically $100 for a little preamp and it does not need a compressor. So, essentially, you save like $200 right off the top for – at least, I mean you could really rack those numbers up if you want to. And the mike, I think, is around 400. So, it’s the equivalent of a $200 expense overall as opposed to an – the mike I use is an AKG, costs about the same but I need these two pieces of equipment.
Leo Laporte Yes. No, I like it.
John C. Dvorak So, it’s easier.
Leo LaporteWay to go. So, how do you get that? I don’t understand though. You are getting the – because it isn’t a normal mike in the sense that, I mean, it’s a professional mike. So, you just can plug it in right into the side of the...
John C. Dvorak No, no, I have an AM audio.
Leo Laporte You still are using AM audio?
John C. Dvorak Yes, I just brought a second one for a peer, and the funny thing is that I decided to get it online so I scrounged around and I found some source. I mean, these things cost I think about 150 bucks or something like that. And so, I found a source and they were like $49. You refurbish they say. So, I get the thing and it’s exactly the same, exactly, and it looks like it’s never been used or touched, and it’s got these big labels on the box saying “be stock”, not for retail or something like that. And so, if you – I am happy with it. It’s exactly the same as the other one.
