Audio Essentials Deals
From cables to studio monitor stands and 19-inch rack housings, we’ve selected a range of offers that can help you save. Don’t forget, this year is the Thomann 70th Anniversary Sale, so you can shop even more deals by following this link.
Meanwhile, let’s take a closer look at the Audio Essentials Deals currently available:
Cordial CPM FM 234
You could be rehearsing, performing, or recording, either way, durable cables like the Cordial CPM FM 234 are a must-have item in the equation. Built for the demands of audio rental companies, the CPM FM 234 has rugged Neutrik connectors.
In addition, the cable uses 26-fold stranded wire with a conduction area of 0.34 mm². This gives you flexibility and the lowest electrical resistance possible at any length you choose.
They may cost slightly more than budget cables, but when your livelihood depends on your signal path, you’ll be glad you chose them for your studio or live show.
Millenium BS-500 Set
Even in smaller listening environments, the benefits of using monitor stands like the Millenium BS-500 Set are undeniable. For starters, the height is adjustable from 93-131 cm, so you can match it to your favourite studio chair.
Each of the platforms provides a surface area of 23 x 23 cm, so you can easily use your monitors in vertical or horizontal positions. What’s more, they can handle loads of up to 20 kg so you can use a wide range of different 2-way and 3-way monitors.
Ideally, you want to position your speakers so that your ears are around 1-1.5 meters from the drivers depending on your monitoring level. Also, try to avoid placing them close to the walls if possible, to reduce reflections in the near-field.
RODE smartLav+
Don’t you hate it when you can’t hear the interviewer’s questions in press conferences? With the RODE smartLav+, you can discretely mic yourself up and use your smartphone as a recording device.
The miniature condenser uses an omnidirectional pickup pattern, so this means you don’t have to point it in any particular direction. Proximity is still a factor, however, so keep this in mind when you’re trying to find the best spot for capturing speech.
Although it might look fragile, the smartLav+ connector cable is reinforced with Kevlar. This means it can certainly handle being used outdoors, and it’s compatible with a wide range of audio and video-capturing apps.
BOSS TU-3
Whether you’re a guitarist, a bassoon player, or a vintage synth collector, the BOSS TU-3 chromatic tuner can help you capture your instruments at concert pitch.
In addition, you can easily install it into your pedal board and take it on the road with you. With Cent mode, you have the standard digital display found on most tuners, while Stream mode uses the arc of LED lights to tell you how sharp or flat you are.
For purists, you can adjust the reference pitch between 436 and 445 Hz (no 432 Hz, unfortunately) and the useful high-brightness display mode helps you tune up even when the stage is dark.
Gator Frameworks Elite 10U Racks
Everyone loves the versatility of plug-ins, but nothing beats the sound of some good old outboard gear. With Gator Frameworks Elite 10U Racks you can rack up your hardware neatly, so it’s easy to access at all times.
Whether you need rack space for your tracking channel strip or your master bus processing chain, this is a nice way to do it without taking up most of your home studio.
The Elite 10U rack is well designed, with an open back panel for easy installations and a pull-out drawer for an additional controller, desktop synth or groovebox.
