Rave Reviews from the Field

"I am a 55-year-old radio station engineer with tinnitus. Every month, I must mix, live to DAT as well as to house, a 1-hour folk music concert which will be broadcast on WUMB-FM ten or more times over the following years.

As you might imagine, the sound level seated 20 feet in front of the performers makes it very difficult to do a decent mix in headphones. I've tried half-a-dozen headsets and nothing even comes close to the excellent performance of the "HN-7506 High Noise Headset Monitor" from Trew Audio.

I find that the isolation is the best of all headsets I've tried, while the drivers are so sensitive that the amplifier driving them is nowhere near clipping. The result is that monitoring levels are lower, so that driver distortion is lower, saving my ears from further damage and allowing me to hear more deeply into the mix, giving me the ability to make better decisions. The clarity of sound produced by the HN-7506 causes my tinnitus to become less noticeable, further improving the resultant mix. Thanks for making me a much better mixer overnight!"

"I am very impressed with the High Noise 7506's... I did a Nascar race this past Saturday for a CBS early show segment and those babies were exceptional.  I had between 45 and 55 DB of attenuation cranked into my MKH60 shotgun during the race to allow for a workable level with range, so you can imagine the noise level (at times 3 feet from the track). We also did several interviews during the race using lavs and the shotgun and I was able to hear and mix these without the outside noise level giving me fits.  Frankly, they worked better then I expected, and were the envy of my cameraman and producer as the evening and the noise wore on and on.  Thanks again for a great product for such a high noise environment."

"Theyre indispensable around the jet noise of Air Force One and Marine One but I have been using the HN-7506 exclusively, even in quiet environments. By eliminating the outside noise I find myself monitoring at lower levels and being able to quickly identify problem noises. --Jay Patterson, ABC News, Washington DC

"I was working all day on this process trailer next to a generator, and the wind blowing on me as we went down the road. The 'Isolation' headsets saved the day. I couldn't even hear the director who was sitting next to me. I sometimes use them in situations when I want to hear the "confidence" - off the heads, and don't want to hear the leakage of the 'live' sound through the Sony 7506s." -- Jim Gallup, Albuquerque, NM
