Que Audio ENG Kit Makes North American Debut at PhotoCine Expo
Hosa Technology will be showing Que Audio ENG kits for the first time on North American shores in their booth at PhotoCine Expo.
The incredible new all-in-one Que Audio ENG Pack offered by Hosa Technology comes directly from Australia from the media-minded development team Da-Cappo. The Que Audio ENG Pack is a huge value on a small-scale, including everything you need to capture pristine sound for video production: a micro shotgun microphone, pop filter, shock mount, telescoping boom, and even a headset for field monitoring. The package also contains all necessary cabling (including the adaptor needed to directly feed video cameras) and comes in a convenient carrying case, making the Que Audio ENG Pack perfect for academic institutions and anyone who needs an ultra-portable, compact recording rig.
These kits have been modified for the HDSLR and DV video market to include a cold-shoe mount and XLR3M adapter – thus allowing connection to the DSLR or Canon/XLR inputs on full size cameras and consoles, respectively. These kits retail for $499 but will be available from the Hosa Technology booth at PhotoCine Expo for a show special price of $349.
This is a great value and I am personally picking one up. This kit is complete with everything for recording sound to your DSLR including headphones for monitoring playback. The only thing to add would be an external sound recorder like the Zoom H4N or Tascam DR-100 for when recording dual sound. My article about XLR vrs 3.5 Mini Jack had me rethinking my HDSLR audio needs but the ability to use the Que mic with both XLR and 3.5 inputs, my mind is made up.
