One of the most attractive aspects of RED cameras is modularity. The latest DSMC2 camera models are especially flexible, enabling minimalist to “everything but the kitchen sink” configurations that are only limited by your imagination. Since the RED DSMC2 platform provides a blank slate to build a camera, I inquired of my coworkers to see how they would build out their RED camera from the myriad options offered here at B&H. I’ve also included my own thoughts at the end.

Experiencing double vision when purchasing a television? It's a process that can be as stressful and as life-consuming as anticipating a birth. Okay, that may be overstating it a little bit. But just a little bit. Both decisions will cost you. Both things will bring noise and confusion into your house. Both will require a lot of love and attention. But only one will return that love and attention and fulfill you, entertain you, and keep you happy for years to come.
Okay, children DO look better in family photos. I'll give them that.

It has been quite an exciting year for the B&H Photography Podcast, as well as for podcasting as a medium in general. Hugely popular shows such as S-Town, The Daily, and Radiolab have taken podcasts to new heights in terms of amazing content, and have also substantially raised the bar for audio production. While many of these top-notch programs are produced in broadcast studios by seasoned professionals, you don’t need to be a

You sit in an office every day. Maybe it’s an open floor plan, and you’re lounging against exposed brick, headphones plugged into your laptop as hipsters amble throughout this soulless startup at all hours. Perhaps yours is a different work life: Crammed into a cubicle, you play audio from work-sanctioned streaming services as you entrench yourself in a routine your inner child would smack you for even comprehending, let alone settling for. Maybe the coffee shop is your office, and you need to block out those stroller-derby playing vanity

Car cameras—also known as dash cams, car cams, or vehicle video recorders—are exactly what they sound like. They’re cameras you install in your car. There are many reasons someone might want one, and there is a bevy of features to be considered when shopping for the right solution. The features can vary a bit, and which are most important will depend on what your concern is. Maybe you’re a parent who’s concerned about the behind-the-wheel behavior of the new teen driver in the house. There’s a solution for that. You run a small business with a

When people record live concerts and studio productions, multi-track recording is ideal. It grants you the power to fix and mix the performances in ways that would not be possible if only a stereo mix was recorded. However, multi-track creates a large amount of data in a hurry. Your recorder’s drive needs to be able to handle the burden imposed by writing and reading a multitude of large, uncompressed audio files simultaneously. There are several important factors to consider when shopping for a suitable drive: speed, durability, compatible

As with so many consumer products these days, selecting a projector can be a walk in the park when you are armed with the correct information—there are just so many options. Choosing the right projector is a simple process if you are familiar with these prerequisites.
The screen size (width, most importantly)
Distance between the projector and the screen (throw distance)
An estimate of the amount of ambient light present in the room in which the projector will be used
At this point you may be thinking, “Great. But I can't answer any of those

Working in live sound is an exciting and rewarding business. It’s very fast paced and you must problem-solve on the fly. Having the tools to handle anything is essential for a smooth and professional event. Here are some useful tools I have found to be indispensable, as an audio engineer and system designer.
Hearing Protection
The art and science of audio engineering relies solely on your hearing, and hearing protection is a must. If you have ever gone to a concert and heard “ringing” afterwards, you have suffered damage to your hearing. Over

With each year, the variety and quality of wired and wireless headphones improves for a wide range of consumer and professional applications. Apple’s removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack in the iPhone 7, as well as the recent release of the company’s Airpods, would seem to indicate that the trend is toward wireless, though there remain plenty of situations in which a wired set of headphones is preferred. Here are a few points

Guitarists and bassists are always chasing for the “Holy Grail” of tone—the often undefinable sound (you'll know it when you hear it) that represents their personal playing style. Purists will rightfully tell you that your tone is in your fingers, but stompboxes have long played an integral part to the sound of the most lauded guitarists in history. Whether it's Steve Ray Vaughn's masterful use of the oft-cloned and copied Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer

When your son told you that he wanted to make “Progressive House,” you thought he was saying he wanted to become a homebuilder and a registered Democrat. Sound familiar? Keep reading.
Music has changed a lot in the last decade, and so has the gear used to make it. When occasions come around, parents of millennial musicians are more susceptible to feeling the generation gap than ever. If you're the parent of beginner millennial musician, there's a good chance your kid falls into one of the categories below.

Presumably, as long as there has been recorded music, there have been people trying to perfect the art of listening to it. I’d like to imagine these folks in the 1890s, some sort of proto-audiophile, insisting a certain cranking method or wax sourcing makes for a better Edison Cylinder listening experience. Realistically speaking, however, modern-day audiophiles find their roots in the late ’60s and ’70s with the rise of home HiFi systems, when the age of serious audio systems as we know them today became prolific.
Since then, we’ve

All year long, and especially around holidays, many of us have to travel—to our family homes, across cities, over oceans, enduring whatever the TSA throws at us each time, cramming ourselves into airborne Petri dishes while a pilot with the voice of Chuck Yeager slingshots us across the continents.
If that doesn’t sound fun, don’t worry: we at B&H have solutions to make the trip less painful—even more fruitful, if you’re a creative person in the audio sphere. After all, nothing speeds time like creative enterprise. So, whether you’re
