Is This The Same Gtd As Gtd Audio?

I came across this and was wondering if it is the same company that makes the Wireless Mics that you all seem to like and trust so much. If this is the case then it may be worth it to take a look at their other products if the prices are reasonable.

Probably .. at the DJ Expo there were at least 2 new lighting companies that offered similar products. It seems that LED lighting is the next band of products to be copied en masse. Even Monoprice ( http://www.monoprice.com/products/department.asp?c_id=115 ) has a section waiting to have products put in there with their name on it. They have 2 mixers now, cabling, speaker stands and small truss, and microphones.

GTDaudio.net is the wireless mic manufacturer. No way to tell if the two are connected. Incidentally, the one-space GTD amp that I've been using for ceremonies took a dump on me this past weekend. Blown fuse. On Sunday, I went to radio shack and got new fuses and it immediately killed the new one. I ended up having to use an EV Zxa1 for my Sunday ceremony.

Might we be rethinking the "value" of the GTDs?

Obviously yes on the amps. The mics still appear to be a real contender in my book.

Failure is possible with any company. My 2 GTD audio amps are about 5 years old and nary a problem with them.

For me, it's worth paying more to know exactly who is standing behind the product, who I call with a question, and where I send equipment that needs servicing.

Great customer service is worth a lot to me. Headaches and unknowns are expensive IMO.

I've sent one sound system to Mass. Got it back looking like new with a 12 month warranty. 7 other units never an issue.

I've sent one mic to NJ for service 3 years ago, still working great. 4 other units never an issue.

I've called the company I got lights from a few times in Texas. They've been very helpful.

I'm pretty frugile, but I'm not going to buy china stuff to save money. My experience has been that it will end up costing me time and money later.

And yes, I know the stuff I buy is probabaly assembled in China. But it's designed, Qc'd and backed up by companies that I know and trust. Big difference.

GTD China is actually a very large truss and staging manufacturer with 2 large factories. One of them builds truss, stages, etc. and the other manufactures rather high end lighting fixtures, including some VERY slick and powerful moving heads with the Osram 1500W SHARX HTI lamp in it. This fixture is insane !!!! I have never had any problem with this particular supplier there. A couple of others, most definitely !!!!
