    HyperX SoloCast on Røde PSM1

    Simple question: How?? I'm getting grey hair here trying to Google what on earth I need to mount this thing. I really don't know what such a thingymajiggy is called, but I'd honestly assume it's a very simple little thing, that I can just screw in and voila.

    Need insight on wireless speakers

    Hello! So I've had my speakers for the good part of 15 years I'm thinking. It's a 5.1 system, but I've always only used it as 2.1 due to not really having the best place for a 5.1 setup.
