Lewitt-Audio distance sensing auto gain adjusting mic!

fretmeister

No proximity effect, auto level control, auto mute etc.

For spoken word use this could be very handy.

Or just use a Beyer RM30.

I did not know about that, but it appears there is about £700 price difference!

The Ray is over a grand?

RM30 is at $999 on their website

I've got thirty five of them in stock... Under £500 Inc VAT. 

fretmeister

Put them up!

They’ve been discontinued. 

Sporky

I know. That's why I bought eighty at the time - managed to squeeze Beyer to do one last run in white. 

fretmeister

Cornering the market!

Nice.

Sporky

One of our university customers likes them. Best lectern mic ever invented. 

fretmeister

Are they replacing it with a new version?

Sporky

Doesn't look like it.

There was talk of someone buying the rights to the design and continuing production, but I don't know if that went anywhere. 

fretmeister

Calling Behringer!

I'm assuming more people are using wireless rigs.

All that extra convenience of having to charge things up, and remember to put on and take off the clip on mic. Trying not to lose it or have it easily pinched...
