Supercharge Your Studio With These 7 Deals
Getting Started With a new Audio Interface
We can all agree that an audio interface is one of the most important pieces of equipment in a studio. Here are two interfaces that have just come down in price – the entry-level model from Universal Audio is even available as a bundle, giving you a basic set of equipment for your first studio.
The Universal Audio Volt 276 Studio Pack consists of a 2×2 USB audio interface and additional accessories. There are two built-in preamps for connecting microphones, but you can also use it for line sources and instruments. The vintage mic preamp mode emulates the sound of vintage UA preamps, and the switchable compressor sounds like the famous 1176.
You also get a condenser microphone, headphones and three metres of XLR cable. This bundle comes with a whole host of software and plug-ins. Supercharge your studio here at Thomann*.
Antelope’s Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core is a power-up for the more demanding user. This Thunderbolt/USB-equipped audio interface has a total of 14 inputs and 20 outputs. The majority of these are digital, while the analogue connections include four microphone and two instrument inputs, four line outputs, a separate pair of monitor outputs and four headphone outputs.
The interface uses high quality converters with a dynamic range of 130dB and discrete 6-transistor preamps. A highlight are the two DSPs, which allow the simultaneous use of several Synergy Core effects. The price is currently reduced, here at Thomann*.
Studio Volume Control
It’s quite possible that you already have an audio interface. If so, you might be interested in a volume control like the TC Electronic Level Pilot. Having a big knob to control the volume can be very practical. This ‘Big Knob’ is simply connected between the output of the interface and the monitors and is stable on the desk. It is currently available from Thomann* as a ‘supercharge your studio’ deal.
Supercharge Your Studio With New Monitors
As well as an audio interface, monitors play an important role in the studio. And again, we have two offers for you. Both are worth a look!
The IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor Pro is brand new – a studio monitor that, thanks to its compact dimensions, is ideal for mobile producers. A highlight is the built-in automatic room correction, which allows you to optimise the sound of the monitor in a variety of environments.
Using the included X-Monitor software, the tiny monitor can even simulate different monitors from other manufacturers. And although the iLoud Micro Monitor Pro is relatively small, it produces a surprisingly big sound. Click here for a short review of the new monitor and here for a pair of iLoud Micro Monitor Pro including a measurement microphone, available to supercharge your studio from Thomann*.
The PreSonus Eris Pro 6 is a studio monitor with a coaxial design for optimised phase coherence and a large sweet spot. With a frequency response of 35 Hz to 20 kHz, who needs a subwoofer? And the silk dome tweeter promises excellent transient response.
With inputs for XLR, jack and RCA, the monitor is also very flexible for a wide range of requirements. The price has been reduced for a short time. Supercharge your studio at Thomann*.
HEDDphone Two High-end Headphones
And now to supercharge your ears: The HEDDphone Two is a pair of headphones that are not exactly a bargain, but the price has been reduced for a short time. This model has been three and a half years in the making, and the AMT technology in the drivers with folded Kapton diaphragms has been improved. The weight and comfort of the HEDDphone Two has also been improved.
HEDD Audio promises to deliver a soundstage just like over speakers. The HEDDphone Two is currently on sale at Thomann*.
New Creative Inspiration With Stymon Cloudburst Ambient Reverb
Finally, a great reverb pedal that is not only great for guitars, but also for synthesizers – a heavenly power-up for your next song or beat. The Strymon name is renowned for its fantastic-sounding reverbs, which don’t always have to be huge.
Cloudburst has a knack for small, natural-sounding rooms, but its strengths are undoubtedly big atmospheres and ambient-style reverbs. Compared to Big Sky, the parameters are more manageable, but you get a more compact and quick-to-use effect. Listen for yourself! The price has been reduced and is available from Thomann*.
