Antelope Audio Axino Synergy Core
Need to do studio-quality recordings without an audio interface, the Axino Synergy Core gives you a USB-powered solution with 24-bit 192 kHz converters.
In addition, you get access to 18 microphone emulations including famous Neumann, Shure, and AKG mics. What’s more, the Axino’s Synergy Core engine uses Antelope Audio DSP and FPGA chips to give you low latency processing.
Besides the microphone modelling, you also get a range of 10 Synergy Core analogue-modelled processing effects to use in your DAW. Overall, it’s an impressive solution for a single USB device.
Yamaha HS5
The Yamaha HS5 is a budget studio monitor designed for use in untreated environments. Its rear-ported, bi-amplified bass-reflex design uses a 5-inch woofer (45 W) and 1-inch tweeter (25 W) with a 2 kHz crossover.
Due to its popularity amongst home recording artists, the HS5 has earned a reputation as the “bedroom producer’s NS10.” This is due to its relatively neutral sound, which helps you get good results when playing your mixes back on a variety of systems.
On the rear panel of the HS5, you’ll find both XLR and TRS connections, as well as the room correction switches. These include the Room Control and High Trim functions for trimming back your high and low frequencies.
*Please note that the price listed is per unit.
Rupert Neve Designs 542
Is your music sounding dull and lifeless when you bounce out your stereo mix from your DAW? The Rupert Neve Designs 542 is a 500-series tape emulation module created to add that tape sparkle back into digital recordings.
Every aspect of the process of bouncing to tape has been carefully recreated, so you can use the 542 during tracking or mixing. The workflow starts with the “pre-tape” level control, then you have the saturation amount knob.
Furthermore, you can switch between 15 and 30 IPS tape speeds and there’s a mix knob for the wet/dry signal balance. Besides the “True Tape” circuit, the 542 also has a Silk texture circuit, with a choice of Red and Blue Silk modes.
WesAudio _RHEA
The WesAudio Rhea is a Vari-Mu-style tube compressor module for the 500-series format with a modern twist. Even without the innovative DAW recall and automation options, the workflow is intuitive with a useful AB function for comparing two settings.
In addition, there are two Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) modes, as well as a sidechain high-pass filter with three settings (60, 90, and 150 Hz). Meanwhile, in your DAW, you can recall settings instantly and automate with the Threshold, Mix, Input, and Output knobs.
Overall, the _RHEA is a compressor that combines a perfect balance of classic tube design with Carnhill input transformers and digital workflow optimization for the modern producer or engineer.
SSL Pure Drive
The SSL Pure Drive series combines a 32-bit 192 kHz converter and a USB audio interface with an ADAT preamp unit. Because it offers connectivity such as ADAT, word clock, and AES/EBU, as well as Insert Send and Return paths, it’s incredibly versatile.
This allows you to utilize the Pure Drive systems in almost any studio or live sound situation you can think of. The front panel has clearly visible metering and all the basic controls for the front end and clocking options.
Moreover, the preamps give you up to 65 dB gain and they have three different drive modes. Here, you can choose between the clean standard SSL preamp sound, the ORIGIN Console drive sound, and the new Asymmetric drive option unique to the Pure Drive preamps.
