Studio Deals
If you’ve been saving for some new studio kit, this is a great opportunity to get some discounts on important items for your home studio. Also, Thomann’s 70th Anniversary Sale is currently on, so be sure to check it out for more offers. Meanwhile, let’s check out the current Studio Deals we’ve picked out for you:
Focusrite Scarlett Series
The Focusrite Scarlett series USB audio interfaces are some of the most popular recording devices available. Equipped with Rednet series converters, they provide 120 dB of dynamic range, while the Scarlett preamps give you up to 69 dB of gain.
In addition, the Scarlett series has an AIR function that introduces energy into the high-frequency range in a very pleasing way. This means you can add detail to your vocals and acoustic guitars while recording into your DAW.
Also, both the 2i2 and 4i4 models have useful features like Auto-Gain and Clip Safe making it really easy to set your levels for your next recording session.
Genelec 8010A
When you’re working in a small room, or need portability, the Genelec 8010A is a great solution for music production. Especially when working with vocals or speech, the frequency range is projected clearly. Therefore, you can make decisions quickly when you’re working.
The design uses a rugged aluminium housing, with a 3-inch woofer (25 W) and a 0.75-inch tweeter (25 W). Meanwhile, there are desktop control and bass tilt switches on the rear panel, to compensate for reflectivity around the speaker’s position.
Overall, the 8010A is a great choice for music production, songwriting, as well as dialogue and podcast editing. It might not offer much sub-frequency range, but you can always expand the system with a subwoofer.
*Please note that the price listed is per unit
Mackie Onyx8
When you need all your hardware plugged in, the Mackie Onyx8 is a great solution for home studios. This compact 8-channel mixer provides four mic preamps, three stereo line-in channels, and two aux sends.
In addition, the Onyx8 can be used as a standalone SD recorder, or as a USB audio interface with up to 24-bit 96 kHz recording. Meanwhile, you also get a digital effects section with chorus, delay, reverb, and more.
The Onyx8 is great for rehearsal spaces, with control room outputs and aux sends for monitors. In addition, it’s perfect for streaming and content creation, with Bluetooth integration for mobile devices.
Universal Audio Modelling Mics
Until May 31, you can get nearly 30% off selected Universal Audio Modelling Mics including the SC-1 and Sphere LX. In addition, when you register, you’ll receive the new UAD Essentials Edition plug-in bundle to get you started.
If you plan on working with a wide range of musical genres and vocal styles, the UA Modelling Mics are great solutions. Now, you have access to a range of classic mics used by top recording artists over the years.
In addition, the Sphere system gives you the ability to reduce the room ambience and simulate a range of different pop shields, so you can get the cleanest vocal sound in any environment.
SSL G-Comp MkII
The SSL G-Comp MkII is an essential mixing tool that brings the bus compressor from SSL’s famous recording consoles, into the portable and accessible 500-series format.
Now, you can route signals from your DAW and compress your drums or your whole mix to get that cohesive “Glue” sound. Operation is easy, with selectable controls for attack, release, ratio, and the high-pass filter.
Whether you are new to music production or an experienced engineer, you can benefit from having the G-Comp in your studio. All you need is a 500-series rack.
