Good Sound And Good Looks Don’t Always Go Hand In Hand… But The Ruark R4 Mk3 Is An Exception

Posted on by

While most people pay close attention to the plot and characters when they’re watching a tv show, I have to admit to always having half an eye on what computers, cameras and audio gear are featuring in the background of said tv show.

Bespoke Batman: How One Seamstress Built A Company Crafting Costumes Year Round
