Whenever I need to buy new kit this is the place to go. Wendy and her team have excellent knowledge of the equipment they supply, access to information from manufacturers about the kit and an attitude to genuine customer service that is not often found in today's globalised corporate world. I have dealt with all the main UK broadcast suppliers and buying from Wendy's is by far the best experience.
In answer to the perennial problem of both securing the mounting of LAV microphones AND taking care of the microphones being used many hours a day, the folks at Bubblebee Industries have come up with a new product - The Cable Saver - designed to drastically improve the lifespan of your mics by adding all-important relief to your mic cables.
Back in 2014, Bubblebee's Poul Mejer worked on a popular TV reality show and came up with the idea of what has now become the Bubblebee Cable Saver, saving the production team thousands of Euros in microphone repairs and replacement.
Before that, the company behind this production spent over €10.000 on cable and plug repairs every year. After they starting using Bubblebee's Cable Saver in 2014, the costs were reduced to under €1.500. Proof that such a simple invention can really make a change to your bottom line.
As well as preventing breakages, the Cable Saver also helps reduce handling noise. If you mount the Cable Saver under the microphone head, the direct noise of touching the cable will disappear.
