The shipping cost of your order is estimated upon checkout. The fee is generally R150 within South Africa for orders that are under R5 000. For orders above R5 000, shipping is free within South Africa.
Shipping times are generally:
Shipping fees include handling and packing fees as well as postage costs and import duties into South Africa. Although shipping includes insurance, the package/s will be dispatched at your own risk. However, due to the nature of the items being purchased, special care is taken to protect fragile objects. Boxes are amply sized by either the manufacturer or by the staff of Pro Gear SA, and your items are well-protected.
The estimation is performed according to the weight of items (the larger of either physical or volumetric), where the item originates, and is calculated live to get the best rates possible. Shipping items are bundled together per supplier, where possible, in order to save on shipping costs. (We have negotiated discount rates with shipping companies).
We deliver orders anywhere in South Africa. Should you be outside of South Africa, we can still arrange delivery to you. Please contact us directly before placing your order, so we can confirm shipping costs.
Payment may be made via Visa, MasterCard, Debit and Credit cards, as well as Instant EFT (SID). All our payments are secure and handled by Paygate and FNB. We have negotiated a merchant account in order to keep these costs as low as possible. Another option is for you to handle your own bank EFT transfer, as this will carry an even lower processing fee. (Place an order, receive your invoice and pay it using the order number as a reference). Orders will only be processed once the funds are reflected in Pro Gear SA's account.
Sennheiser's HME 26-II-600(4) Broadcast Headset Microphone fulfills the requirements of demanding broadcast applications. The pre-polarized condenser microphone features great acoustic performance for crystal clear audio transmission in the highest broadcast quality and has an excellent feedback rejection.
The closed, supra-aural headphones have a high maximum SPL and are equipped with the ActiveGard. This limiter can be activated or deactivated.

The HME 26 capsule wants to see between 8 and 15 V DC to operate. The SK 100 body pack can supply 10 V. To power the HME 26 from an SK 100 body pack the cable of the HME 26 must be terminated in the standard 3.5 mm connection (ie: tip is hot and the ring and sleeve are tied together and grounded).
NOTE: You cannot use a standard CM1 mic cable plugged into a HME 26 headset with the MZA 900 P (48v phantom power adaptor) as it does not function correctly because the MZA 900P needs to get 48v Phantom Power to function.
It is a common saying that dynamic microphones just have no maximum SPL. This saying is not technically exactly correct but for every day use use of dynamic microphones you will not find gain limitations. At SPL levels above 160 dB some mechanical problems might occur (for example the voice coil might crash onto the magnet) but these SPL levels are very hard to find in real world.
Here at Sennheiser we use dynamic microphones for distortion measurements on loudspeakers at very high sound pressure levels. At Sennheiser we have measured the SPL and THD inside a large 2" driver/horn combination with a MD 421. The max SPL this combination was able to produce was 150 dB and the THD level recorded by a MD 421 was below 1% (produced by the driver not by the mic)
So as a conclusion we can state the MD 421 has no maximum SPL limitations for practical use. However if using dynamic microphones at high SPL levels a user should be aware that the very high voltage (up to several volts) delivered by the microphone might cause problems when connected to mic preamps.
