Xmas is coming! As we know sound guys are the most difficult people to buy for. Over the last few year I’ve posted some suggestions, here is day 1!
Day 1 – Rigol DS1054Z 4 Channel Oscilloscope
This came to my attention from the EEVBLOG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETCOhzU1O5A love this guy.
It’s an awesome price for a very powerful little machine. Include probes and USB cable.
For $507 Canadian Electro Meter in pickering can hook you up!
SOUND GUY XMAS! The family delivers sound guy gifts!!
I’m so lucky to have such thoughtful family.
I know how difficult it is to shop for us sound guys.
I hope the ideas I’ve been sharing have been of inspiration to eager shoppers.
I thought I would share some of the ideas my family and friends came up with that I missed and appreciate as professional tools and inspiration to learn from!
Super bright LED flashlight. This one is very small, takes 4 AAA batteries and I bet will last a very long time!
Gear tie Flexible ties. I’ve never seen these! This things are very soft and wont scratch anything.

Ike Zimble of Zimble Audio hooked me up over the holidays with a product he really enjoys.
Rawn America’s Tefrawn, I’m very excited to try it out! Truly a Sound Guy Gift!!
I’m very protective of my hearing (and the family knows this).
I’m going on a trip this week and there will be swimming in the ocean. Aqua Ears!
Make it stick – the science of successful Learning, a very very good read. I got 1/2 way through and gave it to a teacher that needed it more than I did.
Flex X-RAP Finger protection. I’ve never seen anything like this stuff. If you’re making a bunch of cables and want to move faster this is the ticket! http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=64762&cat=1,42207,64762
A KAZOO!!!! Because I’m easily entertained.
Happy holidays to everyone! You’re all an inspiration to me and mine! Keep the feedback coming!
