It has never been easier for Arabic content creators to create engaging material and share it with the whole world. Even mid-range smartphones can effortlessly record high-definition video, and their broad connectivity options make it possible to stream the recorded footage in real-time. DSLR cameras have also come a long way, offering an incredible picture quality at increasingly affordable prices.

But captivating video footage on its own hardly ever tell the full story. To have the biggest impact possible, especially when recording interviews and capturing real-life events as they unfold in their raw form, it must be supported by high-quality audio. Unfortunately, that’s where many smartphones and even DSLR cameras fall short.

The XSW-D Portable Lavalier set from Sennheiser is intended to help Arabic content creators get their message across as clearly as possible. The set includes an XSW-D 3.5mm (1/8”) transmitter, XSW-D 3.5mm (1/8”) receiver, ME2-II clip-on lavalier mic, 3.5mm (1/8”) coiled cable, cold shoe mount, belt clip, and USB-A to USB-C charging cable.

To use it, you simply connect the transmitter and the clip-on microphone together and pair it with the receiver, which you can then connect to your smartphone or DSLR camera. Because the transmitter and receiver communicate using the 2.4 GHz band, they can be up to 75 meters (250 feet) away from each other. On a single charge, you can expect to record for about 5 hours, and there’s nothing stopping you from pairing multiple transmitters with a single receiver.

As one would expect from Sennheiser, the audio quality of the XSW-D Portable Lavalier set is excellent, with no distracting hisses and glitches ruining the listening experience. Overall, the set is an excellent investment for all content creators who understand the importance of audio quality in content production and are willing to spend some money to stand out from the crowd.

amazon has partnered with music streaming service anghami

Amazon’s Prime subscription service offers an excellent value proposition because it includes not only free shipping but also access to a huge library of songs, among other things. Unfortunately for music lovers in the MENA region, the Amazon Prime music library includes mostly songs from English-speaking countries. But that’s about to change soon because Amazon has partnered with Anghami, the first legal music streaming platform and digital distribution company in the Arab world.

As a result of the new partnership, Prime subscribers in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will automatically get a free six-month subscription to Anghami Plus, a premium subscription service that offers an unlimited access to Anghami’s large content catalog and unlocks extra features such as the ability to play songs offline, display lyrics, and enjoy music in high quality.

“This collaboration with Anghami is a perfect example of how we work together with leading local brands to innovate on members’ behalf, offering them the best experience possible,” said Ronaldo Mouchawar, Vice President of Amazon Middle East and North Africa. “We’re excited to see Prime members in both Saudi Arabia and the UAE enjoy Anghami Plus and all it has to offer, alongside other shopping, savings and entertainment benefits already included in their membership”.

The partnership with Amazon is guaranteed to help Anghami realize its global ambitions and compete with other music streaming services, most notably Spotify and Deezer.

Several months ago, Anghami entered into a merger agreement with publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc. The goal is to list Anghami on the New York NASDAQ exchange, giving it access to global growth capital.

Currently, Anghami provides its users access to more than 57 million Arabic and international songs, as well as podcasts and live radio. Amazon Prime subscribers who decide to keep using Anghami can get an additional 50% discount for the next six months.
