Perfect Path PerfectLock
Locking RCA cable
PerfectLock locking RCA cables are built to eliminate the problem of
loose RCA cables. The cables feature a unique design that allows the
outer body of the connector to turn and lock down on the port for
increased retention. When turned clockwise, an active wedge inside the
cable causes the outer ground shield to lock down on the port. This
allows for a secure connection on RCA ports of any size with only a
quarter turn and the cable is easily removed by turning it
counterclockwise.

Optim Engineering PWRgate
DC power backup system
Optim Engineering's PWRgate PG40s is a 12V backup power system that
can supply up to 40 amperes continuously from either a power supply or a
battery. The equipment powered by the PWRgate instantly switches to
battery during a loss of ac power or power supply failure without
glitches using 80 ampere Schottky diodes that isolate the battery from

L-com Global Connectivity RMSP-CAT6-4
Surge protector panel
L-com has developed a 1RU patch panel with four CAT-5E/6 Ethernet
surge protector modules to protect telecommunications equipment. The
RMSP-CAT6-4 employs ultra-low capacitance semiconductors ensuring
superior high frequency response and improved return loss for the four
data pairs on each line under surge protection. The easily replaceable
modules allow easy field repair in the event of a catastrophic surge
event. The unit is 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible for
normal or reverse polarity systems and can be used with 10/100/1000
attached devices such as switches, routers, access points, IP
surveillance cameras, and IP phones.

Beyerdynamic TG-X 930
True condenser mic
Using the capsule of the MC 930 true condenser microphone as a basis
and featuring a specially compensated proximity effect in the cardioid
capsule, the TG-X 930 achieves neutral transmission of even the subtlest
vocal nuances, while a slight treble boost ensures an open and accurate
sound. The stainless steel basket with multilayer gauze and additional
inner basket provide protection against pop sounds. It is not only easy
to clean, but also improves rear-attenuation and increases feedback
reduction. In addition, the internal structure of the transducer system
makes the microphone resilient to moisture-related
problems.
