Summary
In this episode of The Pro Audio Suite, hosts George Wittam, Robert
Marshall, Darren Robbo Robertson, and Andrew Peters unbox the
English Channel, an audio studio in a box. This piece of technology
is described as having three sections: a preamp, a filter, and an
inbuilt compressor, which work together to produce a unique mix.
Additionally, discussions highlight the Portcaster Vo Vo, a tool
favored by content creators for its ability to switch from mono to
stereo. The final product, Passport VO, an item with an inbuilt
card recorder that can record and playback without clipping, is
introduced and admired for its sturdy metal casing and ease of use
for those with a basic understanding of audio. The hosts conclude
with news of limited availability for the first batch of the
technology and the upcoming guest appearance from Michael at
Sentrance.

Speaker A: And here we are again with another show. And we have
another unboxing, something very special. And Robo's a very lucky
boy.,Speaker B: Welcome.,Speaker C: Hi. Hi. Hello, everyone to the
pro audio suite.,Speaker B: These guys are professional and
motivated with tech. To the VO stars, George Wittam, founder of
Source Element Robert Marshall, international audio engineer Darren
Robbo Robertson and global voice Andrew Peters. Thanks to Triboo,
Austrian audio making passion heard source elements George the Tech
Wittam and Robbo and AP's international demo. To find out more
about us, check ThePro Audiosuite.com.,: What you got,
Robo?,Speaker C: I've got a little black box of magic.,: What did
you get that I didn't get way down under before you'd ship it
across the country. What the heck?,Speaker C: Very early Christmas
present. And it's very cool. Can you see the black box? It's like a
flight recorder. That was my first impression. It was like, whoa,
what's this?,: It's very cool. Nice little kit. So what's this
thing called?,Speaker C: And it's rock solid. It's called the
English Channel. It's an audio studio in a box, effectively. So if
we crack it open, there's this piece of magic inside. And I'm
guessing that we can all.,: See that there's three separate units,
is what I'm seeing.,Speaker C: Yeah. So there's three of
Sentrance's units. All. Well, they're not linked together at the
moment because you need to do that with these XLRs and USB
connectors at the bottom. But it's very simple. Gotcha. Which we'll
talk through in a minute. Effectively, you've got your pre and
effects. So in the soapbox is your gain and your high pass, low
pass filter, all that sort of stuff. There's a gate.,: So the
soapbox is the preamp.,Speaker C: The soapbox is your preamp. So
your mic goes into here and then it joins it. Daisy chains across
the top to the others. But in the soapbox. Yeah, there's your high
and your lowest pass filters, your 48 and your pad. And then you've
got your gain, obviously, and a dry, wet mix for your effects,
which we'll get to in a sec, including the gate, which is here, and
a Deesser. And also the option to check to select the frequency the
DS is working on, which I think is the bit of magic. You've also
got an inbuilt compressor, which obviously is using a preset knee
and ratio and all that sort of stuff. But from testing it out with
AP the other week when it turned up, it's actually, not too bad.
Used in moderation, and also when used in conjunction with the mix
knob. So wet is full on wet. For those who are not sure what a mix
knob is, full on wet is everything working at its capacity. But
then when you use the mix knob and you start bringing it back
towards dry, that processed effect is being mixed with the original
signal coming in from the microphone.,: Interesting, because that
is not a knob that most people are going to have in their signal
chain. Like you have a single rack piece of gear. Let's say it's a
channel strip. I'm thinking of a DBX 286. I know he's thinking of
that piece of gear a lot when he developed a soapbox. The signal
goes left to right, it goes preamp, then it goes through each thing
in that sequence, and then it comes out the other end and it's all
wet. You can't blend it. Here you have a blend, which gives you an
interesting level of creativity in terms of controlling all
that.,Speaker C: That's right. So even if you find that you've got
to wind up the compression a bit more to get whatever the desired
effect is you're looking for, you can still manage that,
micromanage that by sort of then playing with your mix to get it
just right, which is kind of clever. So I'm really impressed with
that. I thought that.,: So that first box of soapbox has a
preamp.,Speaker C: Yeah, has your preamp.,: It has a high pass
filter.,Speaker C: High pass and low pass.,: Actually, no, just
high pass.,Speaker C: Just a high pass. And then something called
High Z. Oh.,: High Z would be for a guitar. Yeah, because it's got
a high Z combo.,Speaker C: That's right. Well, that's the other
thing, actually. Yeah. You can use this as a DI, but we'll get to
that, I guess.,: And then it's got 2 meters. Is one an input meter
and one an output meter? Yeah.,Speaker C: So one's an input meter
and one's an out. But it's also showing you. Well. Yeah, so you can
see your compression working, basically. You can sort of see what's
coming in and what's going out when you're dialing in your
compressor, which is kind of nice.,: Got it. And what are the three
little lights across the top? Looks like? There's three
LEDs.,Speaker C: So that's just showing you when your gate's
working, when your gates kicking in and out. Then your compressor.
Your compressor and your DS are working.,: XLR mail output. Is that
right? Is there a dial on the back?,Speaker C: There's a switch
there. There's your on off switch? I'm back here. Yes. So that's
just your brightness of those lights back there that you can see.,:
Okay.,Speaker C: So you can sort of make those a bit brighter or a
bit duller.,: Oh that's cool.,Speaker C: Yeah, very cool. So then
using the XLRs we then daisy chain from the soapbox into the black
cab, which is his EQ.,: Does it come with cute little XLR?,Speaker
C: It does actually. In fact we should have gone through that first
in here. He's thought of everything. Can I just say, he's really
switched on with this. You've got your little short XLRs in here
which is very cool. So if we were putting this together we would be
sort of daisy chaining from there to there like that, which is kind
of cool. And then from there to the port caster. So you've got two
of those all packed away and in nice little padded pouches too. Can
I just say? And then in the other one, which is also very nice, we
have the USBC connectors because the power also daisy chains. So
the power comes into the soapbox and then using these USBs you can
daisy chain to each of the other boxes. And he also gives you two
USB C's for the power in and also one to go back to your computer
interface, whatever it is you're using as well.,: Okay, so each one
of these units needs power and they each have a USB input for
power. But you don't need to have three power supplies
then.,Speaker C: No. So you just use the shorter USBCs that he's
provided like those XLRs and just daisy chain through each one.
He's also given the long ones as well. But the nice thing that I
think is really clever is if you haven't got USBC. He's also
included the adapters for normal USB which is sort of nice.,:
Nice.,Speaker C: So he's thought of everything.,: Not everybody
does that product where I actually opened up a sound devices mix
pre three for a client a couple of weeks ago. It's not a cheap
unit, 600 $700 unit and there was no adapter and I was dead in the
water until I went and got the right.,Speaker C: And isn't that the
frustrating part? You get this cool piece of equipment like this
land on your desk and you're like oh shit, I got to wait till I can
get to it.,: Cost here so little for a manufacturer to throw those
adapters, give you that extra thing and it's nice. I'm really glad
he thinks of that.,Speaker C: Yeah, I was really impressed. Into
the black cab is the next little box and you've got high mids and
lows.,: Three band sweep.,Speaker C: Three bands, sweethearts,
sweepable. They actually sound quite nice. And then again, up the
top, you've got your high pass air, which is, I would presume,
extra high. And you've got a pad and you've got a bypass as well.
So if you don't want to put your EQ in there, listen up, voiceover
artists, you can bypass that.,: Is there a hard bypass?,Speaker C:
Yeah, that's his switch. Switch, yeah, it's a switch. And that's
the other thing that he included in here, which I have to say,
these switches are all sort of recessed into the top. But he
includes one of those little metal things he used. The SIM card
tool. Yeah, he includes one of those. So you can get in there and
you don't have to use your pen or whatever else you can get in
there with that and switch them on and off as well, Michael.,: So
if you do want to bypass it on the fly, it's not something where
it's just a button. You do have to kind of. You got to use the
little pick to.,Speaker C: You do switch that? Yeah, you do. Or a
toothpick or a pen or whatever, a paperclip, whatever you can get
your hands on.,: Yeah.,Speaker C: So that's kind of nice. I think
the only thing that I missed on here was a low shelf and a high
shelf for me. These are all your sort of curves as opposed to an
actual shelf.,: They're all bells.,Speaker C: Yeah, but again, bell
shaped. That's right. Yeah, I said curve. But you get my point.
Exactly. But I guess realistically, if you were doing a voice, you
probably wouldn't be using the EQ section anyway. Well, I hope you
wouldn't be.,Speaker A: Well, the other thing is, I don't think
it's not targeted for someone like me. That's overkill and stuff on
there. I would never use.,Speaker C: Yeah, true.,: Where I would
see it being useful if somebody had it would be for making a small
correction. So if you don't have quite the right mic, there's a lot
of people that have a Neumann TLM 103 that shouldn't have one. And
that mic is very upper. It's got a big upper shelf on it. I mean,
it has quite a bit of a sibilance peak. And there's a lot of women
who are being told to use that mic for some reason, or their
friends have one and they go buy that mic and it's just really
sibilant. So to be able to go in there and then smooth out that
shelf with an EQ and just leave it, set it and forget it would be
pretty sweet. That's where I could see the EQ coming into play. Or
if you're in a small booth and the low end is not quite well
controlled, you haven't done a good job of eqing the room or you
did your best and it's still boomy. Having a little way to sculpt
the low end would be helpful.,Speaker C: I told you George would
know.,: Yeah.,Speaker C: Yes.,: So the soapbox.,Speaker C: The
black cab middle one. Yep, the black cab.,: The black cab. And then
it goes into the.,Speaker C: Really, for the content creators out
there, this is the really sexy and useful part of this thing, is
you obviously have your mic that you've plugged in down onto the
soapbox. You have that come in here and that's been through your
processing chain, but in sort of shades of the passport Vo. You can
also plug in your phone to here.,: I happen to have a Portcaster
pro, by the way, and I love it.,Speaker C: Yeah.,: When I do it is
awesome because of that phone patch functionality, the onboard
recording, I mean, I'm using it for me. I'm using it as a field
recorder for DOing field reporting, doing video interviews where I
want to capture the audio in super high quality. I also used it in
the video we did a while ago where we were at the. Actually, I
don't think we did it for our show, but I did some videos recently
that I posted@Vocalbooth.com, where I was inside the vocal booth.
And in the video, if you happen to see it, you'll see me holding
something in my hand. And that's the Portcaster. Yeah.,Speaker C:
Right. Yeah, I saw it.,: To get a super high quality recording
right off of the microphones we were using in the. Yeah,
that's.,Speaker C: And when we see the rest of it, the question
would be, why wouldn't you? Because you also got another mic input
that can come into there. You've got a mono stereo blend. Now, I
didn't play with this, George, because. So maybe you can give me a
bit more. You could be a bit clearer about my understanding, and
maybe I've got it wrong. But if you have two mics, does the mono
stereo split them? Is that what I'm doing? If it's in mono, I'm
hearing them both in both ears. But if I wind up the stereo, is it
putting one in one ear and one in the other? Is that what I'm
doing?,: Yeah, it's an interesting design choice. I mean that
Michael did it. Because when it's in mono, it's just a mono mix of
left and right. Everything comes down the middle. As you turn
towards stereo, it now starts to separate them into a stereo
channel.,Speaker C: So it's like a pan.,: And that's kind of
unusual. Usually you either have mono or you have stereo. And here
you have a knob. So you have anywhere from Mono to stereo.,Speaker
C: Does that affect what's going out? Does that affect my output
from here? Or is it only what I'm listening to?,: So that affects
what goes to the line output. So if you're plugging it into a phone
or a camera, and I believe it also affects what goes to the USB
output that goes to the computer.,Speaker C: Because if you were
doing a line.,: I think it affects all three, the recording, the
line out and the USB.,Speaker C: Because if you were doing a live
broadcast or something with this thing, that would make sense.
Because me being me, I like to pan our show so that everybody's got
their own little space. If you were doing a live broadcast, you
could do that with here as well, I guess.,: Yeah. Or if you just
want to have full separation of your two mic channels. Full left
pan. Right, full left and right pan. You just turn that all the way
to the right. And now your mic two is on channel two.,Speaker C:
There you go. And you've got your separation. If you want to do it
in post later on or whatever. Yeah, very nice.,: And I like that
because the really basic interfaces, like the Scarlets and SSL Two
s and the like, there is no option. Channel one is track one left.
Channel two is track two right, period. So now you get a mixer
where you can actually blend them and set them the way you
want.,Speaker C: Yeah, very cool.,Speaker A: That's nice.,Speaker
C: That's good. Your auxiliaries, there's two of. So you've got
your mix of those down here. And then obviously volume, which is
your monitoring. And what I missed up the top, which is also kind
of nice, is you've got a limiter on both the XLR inputs, actually.
I also think you can also put that limiter across your phone, by
the looks of it, as well.,: Yeah, you know what? That's a darn good
question. I don't know if the limiter circuit includes the phone
patch function or if it's only for the preamp. I never saw the
diagram and I haven't tested it. I have used all those functions,
but I didn't notice whether the.,Speaker C: I'm presuming that it
might affect the phone because it's on the same sort of eyesight
level as that switch between the microphone and the phone. So might
not.,: Yeah, we'd have to look at a signal flow diagram. When we
designed the passport VO, that was a huge part of our time was
spent scrutinizing, tweaking and adjusting the signal flow diagram
to figure out where the switch is, where the knob is, where is each
single piece in the signal flow as it goes. Know I'll take my
opportunity to use this product here to promote our product. The
reason we created Passport VO is because as feature riches of what
this thing is that Robo is holding here, because this does things
ours isn't going to, you know, three fully sweepable EQ bands
Deesser things like that. But the reason we made the passport was
there are really nuanced, interesting things we wanted to do with
the signal path. We wanted to be able to have a separate return
from the computer and have that be recordable or send that back to
the headphones or whatever.,Speaker C: Right.,: So that was a huge
part of the design. So it would be interesting to see. I'm sure
Michael will say, oh, no, of course, I did it this way because this
makes the most sense.,Speaker C: That's right. Given the attention
to detail with everything else that's in this packet, it wouldn't
surprise me that the limiter was across both of. So then the rest
of the power of this beast is on the bottom down here for me, which
is. And again, you'll probably expand more on what I've been able
to play with in the short amount of time I've had it. But you have
an inbuilt card recorder, right? So the micro SD, so you can
record, you can play back off that. And I presume that only plays
back to your headphones and not out the USB would be my guess.,:
That does sound correct to me. There are things I use my unit for
that I've done with it and I've never tried playing and then
recording USB and seeing if it comes out. I don't think that it
does that.,Speaker C: It would be very cool if it did. It would be
very cool. I'd be well chuffed with Michael if he thought of that.
But, yeah, maybe not. So then you've got the power daisy chain over
that side and then the USB on the other side is your output back to
your computer. 48 volts, obviously, monitoring in stereo mono, and
a high and low output selector. What am I thinking of, George?,:
What's the word? Oh, yeah, that's the line output pad switch. So if
you're plugging this into a line level signal recorder. Let's say
you plug it into, I don't know, some cameras and some devices can
take a line level and other cameras can only take mic level. So
having that switch means that if you plug this into your handicam,
your DSLR, whatever your camera is, as long as you have it on low,
you won't clip the input of the camera and distort the hell out of
the audio.,Speaker C: Yeah, right.,: How many times have you seen
like some low budget video production or TV where the audio is
completely over modulated because they're shoving a mixer signal
into their camera input, which is a mic input.,Speaker C: Yeah,
exactly.,: It's designed to take this mic, plug that with an
adapter to an 8th inch jack and plug it into the camera. That's
what it's for.,Speaker C: Exactly. Yeah.,: So this can output
either level without clipping.,Speaker A: So who do you think this
is targeting? Robo?,: Yeah, that's a great question.,Speaker C: Who
do I think it's targeting? I think definitely sort of content
creators at home who maybe don't want to invest in a door or an
expensive door or plugins or whatever, just want to be able to
record and edit and spit it out. So it gives them the flexibility
to add some of those features that are in here, the compression and
the gating and all that sort of stuff. The thing that occurred to
me after 35 years in radio is that outside broadcasting for radio,
this thing would be perfect because you can plug your announcer mic
in. You've got a guest mic should you need it. And you could use
the phone return, or you could use the auxiliary input to monitor
what's happening in the studio. So you can hear your music, you can
hear the commercials, you can hear the callers coming in. But you
could be sitting outside your local.,: Can be the return from the
studio. Exactly.,Speaker C: You could be sitting outside your local
store who's having a promotion that day doing your radio broadcast
with basically just this and a laptop with a source connect
connection. Hello.,: To me is the killer app for this thing. Is
using it for Field broadcast?,Speaker C: Yeah, absolutely.,:
Awesome. For field broadcast. Absolutely. I also see it being
accompanying a musician when they're traveling. They might want to
run their guitar rig through this, or they might want to capture
their stage kit, or they might want to use it in the room, their
hotel room, to do jamming or practicing or laying down tracks or
there's a lot of interesting ways to use it. I certainly don't see
the typical voice actor using a full blown channel strip or an EQ
like that. Probably not typically, if you happen to be a producer
or engineer and you know how to fine tune that stuff, then maybe.
Or if you got one and you had me or Robert or Robo tuning it for
you, like, all right, let's add a little bit more of the low know,
which I do that occasionally. I talk people through on Zoom or
whatever, and I explain how to adjust everything. Source connect is
really the best because you can hear the absolute detail. And then
I can have somebody adjust the knobs on their unit. That's where
this thing could be really killer.,Speaker C: It really is. Well,
it's actually more than that. It's a three, four channel console in
a box, really, because you got your mic input and then you've got
your couple of other line inputs and all that sort of stuff that
you can play around with as well. So it's basically a tiny console
in a box, really.,: I meant to ask you, I know the Portcaster is
USB power or battery power. The other two units require power,
correct?,Speaker C: Yeah, they both require power, which comes from
that daisy chaining sort of thing.,: Right.,Speaker C: And then the
other cool thing, just as an aside, and I guess, for whatever
reason, let's say I was going to record somewhere, and all I needed
was the podcaster. When you flip these things over, you can unscrew
them, and you don't need a screwdriver or anything. You can unscrew
them and you can.,: Just take the one you bolted to the
tree.,Speaker C: That's right. So you can just. Okay, I need the
port caster, but I don't need anything else. So I'm just going to
take that, throw that in my bag with a microphone, and I'm off. And
my phone or whatever. He's thought of everything. I'm so impressed.
It's very cool and very clever.,Speaker A: And what's the build
quality?,Speaker C: It's really heavy. It's chunky. It's sturdy.
These are all metal, the cases, by the feel of them.,: How do the
Pot knobs feel? Do they have a nice.,Speaker C: And they're really
comfortable to use. And they're not stiff. Stiff, but they're not
so loose that you could just bump them, which is kind of nice,
given that you'll be sort of moving it around a bit, I would
imagine, and all that sort of stuff you can sort of almost set and
forget. Like, you could do your setting before you left home. You
might have to tweak it a little bit when you get somewhere. But I
would imagine if you put it in the case and close the lid, you
could arrive where you wanted to get to and it would still be set
to where you were without being. Having been.,: Is this your first
time hands on with sentrance equipment?,Speaker C: Yeah. I'd never
heard of Sentrance until we started talking to them about the
passport.,: I take it for granted because I've been dealing with or
using Sentrance gear since 2009.,Speaker C: Yeah, right. Well,
there you go.,: I'm really accustomed to the build quality and what
they are. So it's cool that you're finally getting your hands on
one because you're basically feeling by holding the podcaster
you're going to feel exactly what the passport is going to feel
like.,Speaker C: Man, I'll be sharing the love down here. I'll be
honest with you. This thing is incredible. To finish off what else
is in the bag. Which sort of just again, goes to show how much
thought's gone into this.,: Thinking of everything. Yeah.,Speaker
C: I mean he sent, this is now it's Us and he can't cover all
countries. But there's your little plug which you can see, which is
a US plug, but it's got your two USB connections for your power if
you need that.,: But that's just a standard power supply for USB,
right?,Speaker C: That's right, exactly.,: You've got a power
adapter, a local power adapter in Australia of course.,Speaker C:
And he can't do one.,: The power plug in Australia, are they unique
to Australia or are they in common with parts of Asia?,Speaker C:
Yeah, no, they're pretty much unique to here. So we've got three
pin plugs. We've got an earth as well.,: Everything has an earth
ground. Right.,Speaker C: Yeah. Without we've got. So we've got the
positIve, negative Earth. We've got three pins. Yeah.,: It's
crazy.,Speaker C: In the.,: US you can still buy lots of things
without the Earth ground.,Speaker C: Yeah.,Speaker A: Well this USB
charger for Mac.,Speaker C: Yeah.,: That's extremely similar to a
US one. It's just that the two pins are on slant. Yeah, the US is
just parallel. Yeah, almost the same.,Speaker A: But normally I
plug so. And I won't unplug anything because I'll probably turn
something off.,: That'll be a bad sign. Don't unplug stuff while
you're on this.,Speaker C: That's right. These are the bits that we
always joke about that you'll never read but everything's. And I
wanted to point this out.,: Only manuals for all of them.,Speaker
C: Only because it sort of dumbs it. It's not dumbing it down, but
it's so well explained that anybody who sort of has a general
understanding of audio will be able to still sort of pick these
things up and go, okay, I know what I need to do. They're clearly
laid out. Everything's marked, everything's labeled nicely.,: Yeah,
it's analog gear. It's got a USB, but it's analog. So each knob has
a job. It's labeled what the knob does. So how much manual do you
need when it's that straight versus something where it's like 15
layers of menus? I was setting up that mix pre three for my client.
I was like, oh, my God, I need to open the manual, dude. I can't
figure this thing out. To save my life, I had to watch YouTube
videos and even to pass a signal to the Mac through the USB port.
It was not intuitive whatsoever because it's all hidden inside
little. The screen on that machine is like size of a post.,Speaker
C: Yeah.,Speaker A: Stamps.,: I don't know, bigger than a poacher
stamp, but it's like this big. And so you're, like, touching the
little. So having everything. A knob and a switch for one job, man,
that's the dream. That's why I'm so excited about the
passport.,Speaker C: Yeah.,: So straightforward. No more firmware.
Annoying stuff.,Speaker C: No more.,Speaker A: So we must be
getting close, actually. How close are we to the passport video?,:
Well, Michael has been giving us updates from time to know. I get
emails. I don't know if you guys get emails, but I certainly get
emails once or so, maybe a week, from somebody who's getting
curious what's going on. There's still a projection of early
spring, late winter, early spring, so March, April. It's such a
moving target that it just doesn't feel right to quote any dates
and times as soon as you do. It's the Elon Musk syndrome.,Speaker
C: Yeah.,: Everything is, like, coming right? And you're like, hey,
we've been waiting six years for this whole self fulfilled driving
car thing, and they didn't hear you.,Speaker C: We're going to tell
our advertisers to fuck off. Is that what we're going to do?,: I
watched that whole interview. That was very interesting.,Speaker C:
It was, isn't it?,: Yeah. So I'm always like, of the under promise,
over deliver thing, but at the end of the day, it's going to come
out when it's ready. And people don't like to hear that because
we've had 87 eightyat of you have invested in that unit now at this
point.,Speaker C: Yeah.,: So we have a lot of people obviously
vested in this.,Speaker C: It'll be worth the wait.,: But it's
worth the wait. And it is definitely coming. Until we have had one
in our hands to actually test a prototype, we won't be able to give
you any definitive yes when it's coming. And it's funny if you look
on the buy page on the actual store@centrens.com. We have a 4.8
star review. Six reviews. Six people are so excited.,Speaker C:
Haven't even had.,: They've already given it a review.,Speaker C:
They even got it. Yeah, there you go.,: Trust us, folks, it doesn't
exist quite yet, but there are still some, believe it or not,
available. There's twelve of the initial batch still available to
buy. So when they do ship, you get it, you'll be able to get on
that first batch. So stay tuned. We're all excited. And trust us,
as soon as we have our unit in hand, just like Robo does, we'll be
definitely be sharing it with you guys.,Speaker A: Indeed.,Speaker
C: Indeed.,Speaker A: Now, we haven't made any reference to the
fact you're wearing a Santa hat, George.,: Why would I be wearing a
Santa hat anyway?,Speaker C: He's having a home classic.,: I put it
on earlier, I did a video and I thought, I'll just leave it
on.,Speaker C: Why not?,: You can't tell because it's too bright.
But the lights are twinkling. There you go. Yeah.,Speaker C: We got
a four star rating. And you got a four star Santa cap. I was going
to say, and if.,: You'Re really good, I'll give you a five
star.,Speaker A: That's funny. We've had a five star general. Now
we've got a five star Santa. You may have noticed one thing that I
obviously have been feeling a bit jealous about. Robo's hair, so.,:
Robo.,Speaker C: I even had a haircut yesterday. Look at that.,:
Mine is longer than ever. I've really let this thing go crazy
seeing how long I can tolerate it, if I can make it through the end
of the year.,Speaker C: So listen, guys, just before we wrap this
thing up, just to bring this all together, I don't know whether
I've told you guys, but we've got Michael from Sentrance coming on
to do a video episode with us in a couple of weeks. To walk me
through that, we're going to plug it in and have a play with it. So
that should be a bit of an in depth dive. He might even make you
look silly for once, George. I try, but I can never succeed. Maybe
Michael will.,Speaker B: Leave a comment, suggest a topic, or just
say good day, drop us a note at our website,
