Hinton Instruments has supplied Real World Tours with 13 of our Z1, Z2 and the new Z4 MIDI Long Haul Converters for use on Peter Gabriel's Summer 2007 Tours. Standard and customised versions were supplied within one week's notice to meet the tour schedule. Peter Gabriel used our MIDIZ converters on his last tour, but this time all but one musician was using MIDI live, a total of 16 Long Haul links from stage to side stage and FOH. Our Z series converters were chosen for their ultra high reliability, build quality and field serviceability. Anything less could ruin a performance. The Warm Up Tour started with a series of open air concerts across Europe, most under bad weather conditions. Check the Locarno pictures!

A new page with a table of information on various vintage microphones has been added to the reference section of the website. This will be an ongoing project and new microphones will be added as time permits and new information becomes available.

We hope you like our new look and find the site easier to navigate. More content and products will be added soon. If you can't find something that was here before, please let us know.
