Azden 1000 series defies Hurricane Katrina (29/09/2007 12:00:00 AM) Azden 1000 series defies Hurricane KatrinaDear Azden, I never had the chance to tell my story about using your wireless mic system during Hurricane Katrina. Below is a link to the video clip using your product during the category 5 hurricane (the strongest level storm). It worked flawlessly thru strong winds over 100-mph and heavy rains. Whenever I am asked about what mics to use, I always highly recommend Azden. The mic system went thru hell and back and it still works to this day. After Katrina I left CBS News to start my own company in Vancouver, Canada called Parrodoxx Pictures. I thought you could use this clip to show case the power and professional quality of your product. View video here.
