Bbc News Cellular Phones

At $230, I do not know how much more one gets for phones that cost 2 and 3 times as much. I did see it on consumer Cellular for $ 150

Use this with JK Audio SportMix to interface with *newer* cellular phones. Today's Android and IPhones require a 4-conductor cable to work properly with the mixer. Simple replacement to standard 3-conductor cable. Works flawlessly with new phones for much better clarity over the air.

We can now hear the conversations even on BBC without turning up the volume

Great for BBC Radio 6 music and streaming from Apple Music and Qobuz.

i can report the fake news so much better now!

Have used their cases for years and never had a problem. Strong and does exactly what is required to do. Film crews, production houses and the BBC can't all be wrong - they all use Pelican!

Biased Brit I may be, but I came to love this fine mike at the BBC where it was designed in 1953. I'm now a voice actor, and use an NT1A capacitor to punch through music and effects, but turn happily to my Coles for narration and anything else that needs smooth, warm, natural repro 'with a smile'. Because I know producers are used to capacitor sheen, I use a touch of high-top EQ with the Coles although it is flat to 15k. It does come with a very odd fifties plug-base, so you are wise to buy the adaptor that fixes it to a modern stand, but I managed to wedge mine into a standard cradle. A surprise was the ribbon's ability to minimise external traffic rumble. Musician friend highly impressed by rendition of his saxophone.

Saw this in Africa recently on a BBC truck on the same Canon CN20x50 Cine Lens. Mine at home did not have the handle that is made in Germany. So I called the company and they said I could get it at B&H. Wow not really a surprise since B&H has everything! Anyway this handle is a quality piece of gear for the lens. Screws are included along with simple instructions. Makes the lens much easier and, more importantly, safer to handle. Like I said, a must!

I use my Sonos system both for playing the music in my NAS based library and music streamed from the Internet. I would like the Alexa skill to be improved to be able to select music from my NAS box and also to make it easier to select BBC stations and BBC Sounds. The Alexa skill is still playing Times Radio Malawi when I ask for Tines Radio. Can't find a fix online.
