Neve 8816

AMS Neve has always been one of the leading names in the professional audio industry.  However, many of their products were large analogue consoles.  So for many with home studios, Neve products have been a bit out of reach.  Neve has kept up with the times, however, and created products aimed for these smaller studios.  [...]

Dynaudio BM 12A

Sony PCM-D50 Handheld Recorder

The PCM-D50 handheld recorder by Sony is a nice, compact recorder that features many of the same features as the PCM-D1, only it doesn’t include the high price.  The P50 is also smaller and more portable than the larger D1.  This is because Sony has removed the D1’s peak meters, titanium case, and rechargeable battery [...]

Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter

The Model 402 Aphex Aural Exciter was produced during the mid 70s, and it was instantly popular.  However, there were only a few units produced, and they were never available for sale—they could only be rented, and the price was not cheap.  These devices used a tube-powered processor that added harmonics to the audio signal, [...]
