They consulted with Bob Heil...I think...but they didn't use the XLR jack like he recommended as well.
Heil is not an audio expert, he is a MARKETING expert. BIG difference.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to believe it. Just don't peddle it as TRVTH.

Yes, it is my opinion. So is Heil's self-proclaimed expert status.

The fact is, you don't know that. What you know is that he doesn't have a degree. This isn't the first time you've used this venue to play big shot to someone who isn't here. What you're doing is disrespectful and rude.

I know of no one in the world of pro audio who shares that opinion. As to marketing -- his products are cheaply made and overpriced, but he's convinced hams that they're wonderful. That's marketing.

With new ear pads, I'm using the same ProSet I used in Sierra Leone, Botswana and Tanzania. Must be real crap to have only lasted several hundred thousand QSOs.


On the other hand, I've been honored by being named a Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society, so my opinion may count for something. Or maybe not.

You're playing a game of "mine's bigger than yours".

You caught me on a bad day.  Maybe on another day I'd tolerate it.
