Do You Get Compliments That Count?

I was thrilled to host the Australian Fraud Awards last week. The client was delighted with the job I did, but that is another story.

This story is about the little microphone that I use (see the image highlighting). It is a dFine 4088 from DPA Microphones.

You may well be thinking, Who Cares? And the answer is, the audience.

At this event, the AV crew said afterwards, “We love your microphone. It is fantastic.” So when the experts compliment your equipment you know you have done well.

I first saw speakers like Lisa McInnes-Smith, Amanda Gore and Keith Abraham  have their own microphone. So I set a goal and then bought my own mic as a reward for myself for reaching that goal in my business. But during the research I did, I wanted to get a mic that sounded good, was easy to use and was comfortable for me.

Having the right gear makes all the difference, regardless of what you do. Having your own gear that is tuned to you, adjusted to your needs and works every time (that the pro’s think is amazing), well that is what the pro’s do.

Without it you will be “OK” but who wants to be OK when you can be AWESOME!

So Dear Reader, how good is your gear?
Have you got gear so good that the pro’s compliment it?
What gear do you need?
