Condenser mic
AKG
C 3000: The C 3000 features a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response, low-noise electronics, high-SPL capability and an internal shock mount, which drastically reduces handling noise from mic stands or cables. The switchable 10dB pre-attenuation increase in SPL capability by 10dB and accommodates loud instruments and amplifiers with ease. The switchable first-order 500Hz low frequency filter eliminates the proximity effect for close-miking. The standard accessories are a metal carrying case and a spider-type shock mount.

PC-board audio processor/sound card
Orban
Optimod-PC 1101: Optimod-PC 1101 has broadcast-quality digital signal processing on-board that’s suitable for both live streaming and on-demand programming. Its three on-board Freescale DSP56367 DSP chips provide a loud, consistent sound to the consumer by performing stereo enhancement, automatic gain control (AGC), equalization, multiband gain control, peak-level control and subjective loudness control. Moreover, Optimod-PC is equipped with balanced analog inputs and outputs that can operate at professional +4dBu reference levels while resisting pickup of hum and noise. It is available in two versions-the 1101 is for PCI bus systems and the 1101e is for PCIe (PCI Express). Optimod-PC’s audio driver allows it to appear as two standard sound devices to the computer’s operating system. This allows netcasters who need to replace selected content (such as commercials in a program originally created for radio broadcast) to do so with only one sound card.

Blank panels
Electrorack
Scale-IT: Electrorack’s patent-pending Scale-IT blanking panels easily block open rack units in an enclosure. Lightweight, snap-together designs allows users to stock one size panel and quickly scale it to fill rack unit openings of any size. The snap-together, living hinge design creates a seal to prevent airflow leakage between panels. The panels are reusable, so you won’t have to worry about cutting panels to the wrong size. All unused rack units at the front of a rack should be filled with blanking panels to prevent unwanted hot exhaust air from re-circulating to the front air intake of the equipment. Failure to utilize blanking panels can lead to increased equipment operating temperatures, which eventually leads to premature failure.
