    ALS-500M Would YOU use one in the shack???

    I was considering adding a ALS-500 to the shack until I started reading some of those performance reviews. Also, I’ve heard they require a 50 amp continuous power supply to run Right? Didn’t make too much sense for a 4 transistor amp.

    Extreme 2018 Microphone...get one while you can

    I ordered one up from Bells. I hear folks using them on the air and they sound really good. I think just a slight bit of echo sounds good.
