RME Babyface Pro FS
A compact audio interface can still fulfill the requirements of professional workflows, and the RME Babyface Pro FS is living proof. With ADAT I/O, you can easily expand the number of inputs for studio or live recordings.
What’s more, the Babyface Pro FS functions as a standalone or class-compliant device, and it’s also iPad-compatible. This allows you to control its routing system with the TotalMix FX desktop software or app.
Even if you already have a larger interface, there will always be situations where a more compact device like Babyface Pro FS is useful, with its high-quality preamps and conversion.
Genelec 8030C
The Genelec 8030C is the perfect choice when you want to upgrade your home studio with professional studio monitors. The 2-way bi-amplified design uses a 5-inch woofer (50W) and a 0.75-inch metal dome tweeter (50W) with Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) Technology.
Furthermore, the sturdy aluminium construction of the 8030C makes them suitable for positioning on monitor stands, desktop use, and a range of permanent installations.
On the rear panel, the EQ controls include bass and treble tilt, bass roll-off, as well as a 160 Hz cut for proximity with desktop surfaces. Overall, it’s a great choice for small to medium-sized listening environments.

Warm Audio WA-2A
The Warm Audio WA-2A is an affordable recreation of the legendary tube-amplified electro-optical leveling amplifier. Designed with CineMag transformers as well as TungSol and Electro-Harmonix tubes, the WA-2A promises outstanding sonic integrity and performance.
In addition, the WA-2A can be stereo-linked for processing stereo tracks, channel groups, or your mix bus. Moreover, besides tracking, it’s a great DAW insert for adding warmth to any element in your mix.
When tracking, the WA-2A will immediately improve vocal recordings by shaving transients. However, it will also produce amazing results on guitars, piano, and overhead mics.
Austrian Audio OC818 Studio Set
The Austrian Audio OC818 takes the famous C414 design into the future, with a range of versatile features. The CKR12 ceramic capsule is handmade, and based on the renowned CK12 design.
However, the OC818 goes beyond vintage designs with the PolarDesigner plug-in for creating custom pickup patterns. Moreover, this can also be done in real-time with the OCR8 Bluetooth dongle and PolarPilot app.
With these impressive features and the omni, cardioid, hyper-cardioid, and figure-8 patterns, the OC818 is ready to take on any recording project.
AMS Neve 1073SPX
For decades, the Neve 1073 channel strip has been the gold standard for recording in studios all over the world. Designed with transformer-balanced input and output stages, the 1073SPX delivers the classic Neve sound with a range of modern features.
This includes metering, a low-impedance setting for dynamic and ribbon mics, a DI with ground lift, and an insert path on the rear panel. Whether you’re planning to do recordings at home or in a pro studio setting, the 1073SPX will ensure quality and sonic consistency.
Recording any voice or instrument becomes a breeze with the gain staging controls of the 1073SPX. Furthermore, the EQ controls allow you to gently accentuate the nuances of any performance.
