Audio Essentials Deals: Kenton MIDI Thru 5
When you have a range of synths, samplers, and drum machines that you need to control from a single sequencer or DAW host, you’ll need a MIDI splitter like the Kenton MIDI Thru 5. This compact box can be powered via 9V DC, so it will fit easily into your live rig.
On either side of the aluminium housing, you’ll find the single MIDI input, 5 Thru ports, and an LED activity light. Setup is easy, simply connect the Thru ports to the MIDI ins of your devices and map the MIDI channels accordingly.
Kenton MIDI boxes boast less than a millisecond of latency, so your timing is rock-solid from your DAW or sequencer. This MIDI Thru box is also available in 12 and 25-channel options, so you can connect an entire studio if you require.
Audio Essentials Deals: Harley Benton PowerPlant ISO-2 Pro
Whether you’re a guitarist or a synth head, once you start collecting effects pedals it doesn’t take long before your cabling becomes chaotic. Luckily, the Harley Benton PowerPlant ISO-2 Pro is an affordable solution to centralize the power of your pedal board.
The PowerPlant ISO-2 Pro is an 8-channel isolated and surge-protected power unit powered by a 12V 2000mA DC input. The first two 500mA channels are switchable between 9V, 12V, and 18V DC, while the remaining six are fixed at 300mA 9V DC.
In addition, the AC power supply is included along with eight 5.5*2.1 mm cables and a Y-cable for voltage doubling. The PowerPlant series has a range of options, so be sure to find the best fit for your setup.
Audio Essentials Deals: Thon Studio Side Rack XL 10U
With this Thon Studio Side Rack XL, you have a versatile and mobile angled solution for your rack gear. When positioned with the lockable wheels down, you have 10U of angled rack space and a further 3U of rack space at the bottom.
This gives you easy access to all your favourite outboard gear while the additional rack space can be used for a power conditioner or drawer for cables. The rack can also be flipped with the wheels facing towards its rear.
In this configuration, you have 13U of angled rack space, however, you would have to put it back on its wheels for mobility. The Studio Side Rack XL is easy to assemble with the included instructions and comes with rack screws to get you started.
Audio Essentials Deals: Palmer Havel
The Palmer Havel is an active DI box, useful for balancing signals from guitars, basses, synths, and more. The Havel gets its power from 48V phantom power, or you can use a 9V battery for completely portable operation.
For extremely hot input signals, there is a useful 30 dB pad switch and with the Havel’s low noise circuitry, you can ensure a good signal-to-noise ratio. Next to the balanced XLR output, there is also a ground lift switch to eliminate possible cable noise.
Overall, the Havel is an affordable choice that pairs nicely with passive instrument pickups. Furthermore, it’s a useful tool to have around the studio to help you get uniformity with the gain of your recorded signals.
Audio Essentials Deals: Millenium Stands
Whether you need stands for keyboards, guitars, microphones, drums, or PA speakers, Millenium has a range of affordable options. When you’re starting a band, you might not have a wild budget to work with, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t have reliable gear.
Millenium stands are well-constructed and ready for everyday use, perfect for your home studio, rehearsal space, or venue. What’s more, they are easy to adjust to the correct height, so you can get busy with the music.
