I've had good luck using these transformers for balancing and unbalancing line level signals

Over long periods of time the smaller pairs can start to twist inside of jacket when using the 8 pair cable or larger from this series, leaving the cable looking and feeling more like a knotted climbing rope than a cable. But this 2 pair cable seems to have really stood the test of time.

Works perfect for that quick 2nd port on SD video. Using ours as a Video Loop with some gain and eq thrown in for good measure. Velcro's right to the back of the monitors... or about anywhere.

Basic bulb for Lowell light but good service and decent price.

Does a surprisingly good job holding the phone secure, even if the phone has a case. Anything bigger than an iPhone 5 with an Otterbox will be too big for this. However, I looked long and hard to find something similar for the price that wasn't it's own phone case. This is the best bang for the buck.

No bad disks. High Quality.

The item was recommended in an article written by an audio pro at a home theater website; the author looked at a number of RCA connectors, and recommended THIS one...so I used it. Using his detailed instructions--and having already done a bit of circuit soldering--I was easiliy able to use them in order to make up some audio cables for a Bose(R) 5.1 speaker system. The plugs were very easy to work with, and NOT having a cable clamp was fine--I'm not sure that adding that helps if you are a typical home user. The product was easy to work with; I would recommend it on the basis of the pro's rec. and my own experience.

I obtained this due to the recommendation of the author of a great how-to on making your own audio cables (see hometheatershack.com/forums/remote-cables-accessories-tweaks/13000-how-solder-illustrated-diy-guide-making-your-own-cables.htm). The author is a pro audio guy who clearly illustrates how to make up the cables, and he mentioned MarkerTek, so I ordered cable + plugs and have made up a set of replacement cables for a Bose 5.1 home theater system. The cable was easy to work with if you followed the great directions, and is performing well.

Markertek almost always has what I need in stock. This is THE place to go for audio/video needs.

I live in an old farm house and our neighborhood tends to be heavily hit by storms. We lose power frequently, and have occasional brown-outs. Rather than risk damage to our appliances I have purchased Tripplite Isobars for almost every room in the house. The 8-port was the most recent addition, and has enough room for large plugs (like the ones on hair dryers & straighteners) and features an internal circuit breaker in case of accidental overload. All of my home theater and computer equipment is protected by Isobars. Network drives, blu-ray, power amp, plasma, laptops, phone chargers, game consoles and my entire home-office... If it's something I value, it HAS to be connected through a Tripplite unit!

Video security, expands monitoring past DVR limit of total cameras in non critical areas. Perhaps PIP x4 instead of sequencing might have been more useful in my application. Unit does exactly what it is supposed to do. Other than minor documentation error, well made reliable product.

Bought bulk and made my own custom cable. I terminated in 5-pin Neutrick XLR's on either end and use a home made Single 5-pin to dual 3-pin XLR on the other end, so I can use this used to run both mid-side mics as well as a 65 foot mini-snake for two XLR mics depending on the adapter selected. I am also going to use this for a boom mic cable since it's such small diameter I'm hoping lower surface area means less mic cable incidental noise. Pros: Well constructed and has never given me trouble despite abuse. Cons: Very small diameter means you need to add a little diameter to the XLR sleeve so you get proper strain relief. Expensive, but worth the cost.

This is the best mixer I purchased so far in years for live or home recording. The vocals and guitar sounded more "full and rich" compared to mixers I currently have such as Mackie Onyx 1220i and my old Yamaha powered mixer. Also, about the effects, I love it; no need for an external effects processor, that's only my experience; others may prefer effects from other mixers than this. Took a little while to master it. The results were much better than what I expected from a mixer of this price range. One thing I wish it had.(That feature is available for higher priced mixers; may be I am greedy) It only records stereo mixed output to computer, wish I could record separate channels simultaneously.

I started using the Markertek Foam Sound Panels in 1991 in my pro studio where I put together Audio for Television. I've tried other products since. Only the very expensive combination panels of foam and wood out perform the Markertek Foam Sound Panels. Decades later, I find the Markertek Foam Panels are "decrapilating" . I was a bit disturbed by this, so I checked out an ABC Affiliate's Control Room where they used the much more expensive "Sonex" ... same decrapilation. You only get 20 years out of the product. The difference? The price and the look. If you like the look and can afford Auralex or Sonnex, Okay, but, Markertek works just as well at a fraction of the cost.
