Then, press in the lock release button on the selectors dial and rotate the dial to the indicator corresponding with the source you want (1,2, or 3).

The sound from the selected source comes through your home entertainment systems speakers.

Audio Technica ATR-55 Condenser Shotgun Microphone Condenser shotgun microphone
Customer Review: Good beginner’s shotgun.
This is medium quality for a shotgun and high quality for a camcorder mic. If you are looking for a replacement to the mic in a drum on your camcorder, this is the best you can get without installing balanced xlr connectors. Point and shoot. Even canceles out 90% of traffic noise.
Customer Review: didn’t function properly
Tried this device on the DVX-100B, and no matter how high I would adjust the gains, it just picked up very faint wispers of sound. At this point I thought maybe the problem was in the XLR adapter I used, but when plugged into my computer and laptop, I got the same results. Device was on, used 2 different new batteries… Nothing. I’ve used various mics before like Azden, so I think I have a decent understanding on how these should perform, and the pickup on these mics are almost nil.

Customer Review: Works as advertised; simple; unobtrusive
It’s small and not in the way, it has the keystroke switch which is easy for a novice to do (in case I need to instruct him on maintenance issues on the server), and it even supports his wireless keyboard. Nice long cables to the server and the workstation (laptop docker, actually). And inexpensive. Job done!
Customer Review: Works as expected.
I own another IOGEAR KVM, the one with PS2 ports and works great so i have no doubt about this one. Works perfectly as expected. I’m using it with a Microsoft Natural Keyboard 4000 and a Logitech G7 WIRELESS Mouse.

Customer Review: Great product, just too long
Like many other reviewers have said before, this is too long. You will need to bundle most of the cable with a twist-tie to shorten it. But it is a high quality cable, and the sound quality is much better than what you get from the cheap cables. I recommend it.
Customer Review: Just Right
I got this to connect my ipod to my car stereo. It works well…no static. It’s long, but they all are. Just wrap it and roll.

M-Audio SP-2 US65010 Sustain Pedal Piano Style Sustain Pedal for Keyboards M-Audio SP-2 Sustain Pedal is the perfect product for keyboard players who want the most realistic pedal action. The SP-2 model is used in the same manner as the sustain pedal on an acoustic piano. This classic-style pedal works with any M-Audio keyboard. Designed to work and feel just like an acoustic piano’s sustain pedal, it has a specially designed rubber bottom that grips the floor and stays put while you play. The SP-2 is a high-quality damper pedal with expressive half-pedal capabilities.
Customer Review: Watch out if you are looking for half-pedaling capability
Contrary to the product discription, this pedal DOES NOT SUPPORT EXPRESSIVE HALF-PEDALING. It is a solid product otherwise, but if you are buying this for half-pedal support - do not do it! I am returning mine.
Customer Review: Not at all bad!
This sustain pedal works very well with my new Yamaha portable keyboard. It is sturdy, durable, and precise. About my only complaint is that its anti-skid base is not quite as anti-skid as advertised, at least in the situations I use the pedal. On carpet rather than on tile, it probably would not-skid without a hitch.

Audio-Technica’s travel-ready, in-ear headphones feature innovative noise-cancelling technology, using ANC circuitry to reduce distracting background noise by up to 85%. One-year warranty. Model ATH-EC700.
Customer Review: Meet my needs
I travel constantly (40+ weeks/year) and have owned Sony over the ear noise canceling headphones for a couple of years. I finally quit carrying them with me due to limited space available in my computer bag, ear fatigue from the noise canceling, and feedback when you tried to lean your head against a pillow on a long flight (which isn’t possible to do comfortably with the over the ear design anyway).
