ION iCD02KSP Digital DJ Station Package Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am quite happy with this unit.
I purchased it for a specific event (a company Christmas party in a large club) where I was scheduled to DJ the Christmas music as well as mix and run the sound for live singers.
My old Panasonic 3-CD player with the 'remove the lead vocals' had just given up the ghost, and I was without that particular & critical function.
The ION delivered the goods, and offered a beautiful clear sound with no discernable buzz. I ran it thru my Radio Shack 100-watt PA and my Radio Shack 75-watt speakers. I used the smaller ION speakers as monitors for the performers on stage. The event went well, and the show got rave reviews.
The headphones that came with the unit are certainly not top of the line, but they sound surprisingly good. The microphone is also pretty average. It is good for making announcements, but you would want to bring a higher quality mike for singers.
I am using the ION as my main home CD/amp now, and I even route my television audio output thru it, via the aux/phono input.
This makes watching NFL games and music concerts much more enjoyable, and makes you feel like you are really there in the coliseum.
This thing sounds great, and is quite versatile.
The ION will do quite nicely for house parties, but for larger halls you will always need another PA amp and speakers.
Pros: Versatile, sturdy, and offers quality sound and features.
Cons: My wife finds it a bit complicated for home CD-playing use.

Heil Sound PL-2T Silent Professional Microphone Boom Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)An item such as this seems as if it would be a luxury purchase for a non-professional, but I've found it to be a necessity in preparing my podcasts. My desk quickly gets filled with all the items and equipment for the cast -- mixer, interface, computer, notes, etc. -- and the PL2T relieves you of the worry of where to fit in a mic stand. Its precise placement and steadiness allows you to adjust the mic exactly as you need.j Then, when you don't need it, it simply swings to one side and keeps the mic out of the way for the next time.
So far I've used two different mics with it, both with fine results. The first mic required the use of the counterweight, which attached easily.
I'm giving this review less than 5 stars only because the plastic covers that fit over the cord channels tend to pop off, but that's no major concern.
