What to get a pro sound guy for christmas

Clive Young of Pro Sound News has written a great article on ‘What to get a pro sound guy for Christmas‘.

Here are my favourite two, so if anyone wants my address to send them to, email me.

Navigator Talking Translator: This iPod-sized gadget speaks more than 9,000 common phrases in 12 languages and translates over 30,000 words for you. Users can also save their 25 favorite sentences to memory–starting with “Where did I put my water purifier gizmo?”

PowerStation Cable Organizer: It’s the Roadie Law of Attrition; by the end of a tour, you’ve left behind the chargers for your cell phone, iPod, digital camera, razor, VMX 100-B earpiece and God knows what else in hotel rooms and backstage areas across the land. With this multi-charging container, your roadie pal can keep ‘em all tidily in one place (or conversely, lose them all at once).

But really, any of the items on his list will be fine, so don’t feel too pressured.
