Griffin Microphone Cable for iMic

Griffin Microphone Cable for iMic 08/20/2004 08:05 AM

Griffin has added an XLR-to-miniJack version to it's "GarageBand Cables" lineup. I'm sort of torn on these products (the other one is an 1/8th-inch-to-miniJack cord designed for guitars), as they don't do anything you couldn't do with just a regular audio cable and a converter plug, but they are white, and that has to count for something, right? I haven't seen anybody do any testing of their cords, but if they are as high-quality as I'd expect them to be, $25 isn't out of spec for professional-grade audio cables. And actually, the more I think about it, these compliment GarageBand pretty well; most people that are going to use that program are just noodlers (I include myself in there) and probably don't have a need for multi-purpose cords.

Oh, and what's XLR? It's the three-pin connector that most professional microphones use.

Griffin Unveils the iTalk, SightLight 01/06/2004 09:19 AM
Griffin Tecnology has unveiled details for the iTalk, a voice recording accessory for the iPod, and the SightLight, a FireWire-based light for the iSight. Besides a stunning design, the iTalk features a built-in microphone design to record sound up to 100 feet away, automatic gain control to adjust recording levels, and a built-in speaker for easy and instant playback. The iTalk will be released in April and will retail for $40. The SightLight is a FireWire-based lighting add-on designed to work with the iSight camera. It slips over the end of the iSight and illuminates the camera's subject to compensate for low-light rooms. It also gives a warmer, more natural appearance to the camera subject. It has 3 settings, on, off, and auto, which automatically adjusts for the amount of light in the room. The SightLight will also retail for $40.

Griffin unveils 3-in-1 RoadTrip for
iPod, iPod mini 08/13/2004 07:17 AM
Griffin Technology has introduced RoadTrip, a 3-in-1 device that provides an FM transmitter, charger and cradle for all dock-capable iPod and iPod mini MP3 players. The transmitter broadcasts your music on any FM frequency on your car stereo, with a backlit display that shows which frequency is in use, while the charger keeps your iPod's battery at full capacity. The RoadTrip plugs into any 12-volt outlet or cigarette lighter in your car and its transmitter unit can be removed and plugged into a USB port on your computer, enabling music broadcast from it to any nearby FM stereo. Griffin has left the top of the US$79.99 device open for use with other iPod accessories, which means RoadTrip isn't compatible with the 1G and 2G iPods that have FireWire ports on top.

When recording in noisy environments, background noise from video projectors, air conditioning, and traffic can obscure softer voices and people speaking far from the microphone.

Using the Voice Tracker with SoniClear MeetingPro solves this problem, resulting in improved recordings and easy transcription of detailed minutes. [PRWEB Jun 15, 2004]

Griffin iBeam

Griffin iBeam 09/27/2004 09:04 AM

Griffin Technologies has quietly put up the iBeam on their website (without the usual accompanying press release) of a pair of plug-in accessories that add a flashlight and a laser pointer to your iPod or iPod mini. The $20 pair of plugs (you can only use one at a time) come with caps for easy attachment to your keychain. I've no idea how good they are compared to their respective competitors, but I'm all about plugging things into the iPod - that's half the reason they're so great in the first place (and why its so hard for other companies to play catch up).

Griffin RoadTrip

Griffin RoadTrip 08/13/2004 09:06 AM

Peripheral maker Griffin has announced the RoadTrip, a multi-function iPod unit that serves as both a cradle, charger, and FM transmitter with digital readout. While it's not the most attractive unit I've ever seen - the faux brushed aluminum and readout is kind of corny - just having a separate interface for the FM transmitter will probably make it a favorite for many iTrip fans who have found FM transmitting to be useful but the iTrip's playlist-based interface lacking. Even cooler, the FM Transmitter can be removed from the cradle and used, via USB, to broadcast sound from any Mac or PC, turning it into a sort of low-powered radio station, or an FM-band Airport Express (without the Wi-Fi).

Griffin EarJams 08/27/2004 01:48 PM

Griffin is selling a set of snap-on covers for the iPod's trademark white earbuds called the 'EarJams,' that convert the headphones into in-ear versions. And although they come with three different sized plugs and a carrying case, pricing them at $20 seems like it might just be expensive enough to encourage people to look for a new set of headphones. I guess Griffin is counting on the cachet of the white earbuds to carry the day (never mind that you can get a set of white Sony in-ears for like $40).

Griffin's new PodPod isn't the first iPod cupholder - Belkin has one, as do others - but I suppose if you want to keep all your iPod accessories Griffin-branded, the new $10 unit is a good choice. It's a hold, for iPod or iPod mini, that fit in a cupholder. That's it.

Well, there's a place for the cords to spill out through the bottom, but still. At least they finally got that name out of the way. I wonder how long they've been sitting on that, trying to think of something to build that would match it.

Forget The Electric Guitar, It's Time To
Go For The Digital Guitar

Forget The Electric Guitar, It's Time To
Go For The Digital Guitar 02/18/2004 01:19 PM
Growing up, I always thought the coolest thing my father owned was a beautiful Les Paul Gibson electric guitar. The famous electric guitars really haven't change all that much over the years since they were introduced, but they're finally catching up to the digital age. Gibson is getting ready to start selling a digital version of the guitar. It looks and plays like a regular Les Paul, but the sound is sent out digitally, making it easier to manipulate. Instead of regular audio cables, you'll plug in an ethernet cable (no WiFi?). Of course, some traditionalists are upset, and others point out that people will need all new equipment to use such a digital guitar. Among the features of the guitar will be the ability to upgrade the guitar as the digital offering improves. My first thought on reading this, though, was how soon it would be before someone hacks their guitar. We no longer need amplifiers that can go to 11, because we'll just be able to overclock our guitars.

The iTrip mini works without batteries and can be tuned to any FM frequency. The iTrip mini is expected to ship in July and is available for pre-order for US$39.99.

Griffin Technology today announced the iVault aluminum case for the iPod Shuffle. Griffin, in collaboration with designer Greg Gutierrez, has created an enclosure that incorporates maximum protection with an elegant design. Machined entirely out of aluminum, the iVault safely encloses your iPod Shuffle, while still allowing total access to the control wheel, audio jack, on switch, USB port, and LED. The front and back halves of the case are joined together by 4 small screws, so your iPod Shuffle is guaranteed to be secure. Lightweight yet strong, the iVault and the iPod Shuffle together weigh less than 1.5 ounces. The iVault is available in silver, blue, purple and red.

The Griffin iVault is priced at USD$29.99 and it is scheduled to begin shipping in May of 2005. Pre-orders are being accepted now.
