K-Tek introduces <b>KSHPMINI</b> Stingray Heat Block Transmitter Pouches, a new way to protect the talent from heat produced by wireless microphone transmitters worn on set.</p><p>Wireless microphone manufacturers have made great strides in producing smaller and more powerful transmitters for their devices that are often body worn. However, this technology can generate uncomfortable heat when positioned next to the body. To solve this issue, K-Tek designed HeatBlock transmitter pouches.</p><p>After extensive research and field-testing, K-Tek devised the new Stingray HeatBlock line. The secret is a patented, heat resistant material that is both soft to the touch, and flexible enough to comfortably be worn against the body. The proprietary three layer material is specifically engineered to withstand a continual temperature of 240°C (464F°), well above the range at which the electronics are specified.</p><p>As a result, at the comparatively low temperatures that these transmitters get to, the HeatBlock material exhibits amazing insulating properties.</p><p>The results are positive, earning praise from professionals. "Since I've been using HeatBlock pouches I no longer hear complaints from the actors, about the transmitters being too hot," explains award-winning Production Sound Mixer, Steven Tibbo C.A.S., who is known for his work on features, documentaries and TV series such as Modern Family.</p><p>This advanced material is soft and comfortable to wear against skin yet offers superb insulating characteristics to eliminate the discomfort associated with wearing wireless transmitters. A series of three pouches snugly encase most popular transmitter brands. Fabricated without protrusions or sharp corners, they can be used with or without transmitter clips. What's more, every Pouch and Piece of HeatBlock is meticulously hand-sewn at the K-Tek headquarters in California, USA.</p><p>Available in three sizes, this Mini sized Stingray Heat Block Pouch fits Lectronics SSM models, Zaxcom ZMT3 and similar sized transmitters.</p><p><b>Every Heat Block Pouch is Handmade in the USA.</b></p>
The K-Tek <strong>KSTGMIX</strong> Stingray MixPro portable workstation is designed for the Sound Devices MixPre-3 and MixPre-6, but also fits the Tascam DR-70D, Tascam DR-701D, ZOOM F4 and ZOOM F8 field mixers/recorders. More than an ordinary bag, the Stingray MixPro can help turn a small recorder into a portable workstation.</p><p>Because these mixers are jam-packed with features and used in a multitude of applications and situations, the K-Tek design team emphasized easy access all around, coupled with operating versatility.</p><p>Sized for the MixPre3 and MixPre6, the Stingray MixPro features multiple assets to accommodate all common working styles and methods, including front and back openings for mounting and a versatile front flap to attach wireless receivers. The removable Front Pouch storage compartment is perfect to keep external power options and large enough to hold common location mixing batteries (like an NP-1 style battery with cup or portable USB-C battery tanks). Oversized MOLLE-style straps accommodate additional accessories ranging from wireless receivers to other Stingray bags and pouches and are positioned on the front of the bag along with the Front Pouch.</p><p>For convenient table-top operation, a built-in adjustable kickstand enables convenient control interface access and comfortable viewing whether the user is sitting or standing.</p><p>The multi-layer walls feature the same strong protective exterior and soft orange high-contrast interior that K-Tek's Stingray bags have become famous for. Dual curved zippers encircle each side panel to fully access inputs, outputs and controls. A clear vinyl shield to cover the exposed top opening can be folded back or easily removed. The internal vertical frames give the MixPro the same rigidity and strength that has made the larger Stingray bags the preferred portable workstations of choice.</p><p>The combined front and bottom flap allows front mounting, opens wide to access the internal battery packs and media compartment on the bottom of MixPre units, and can even reattach to the back of the MixPro. With MOLLE-style straps outside and inside, attaching accessories is a breeze in any configuration.</p>
