Closed back headphones are more coloured than open back designs, but also isolate the listener and restrict sound leakage. This makes them ideal for tracking, recording or even just for listening whilst outside of the studio.
Condenser (or Capacitor) microphones are fantastic for detailed recording work. When using them for vocal recording, think about if you need a pop filter (to stop plosives) or a reflection shield to minimise room noise on recordings and produce a clearer result.
All condenser microphones need a power supply from somewhere, either battery or 48V Phantom Power from a desk or interface.
There are some products that fit perfectly alongside Monitor Speakers, and we've taken some of those and turned them in to 'Bundles'.
These bundles are designed to be cheaper than if you bought the items seperately...
Open back headphones are renowned for their accuracy and wide stereo field when compared to closed back models. This makes them ideal for critical listening and mixdown work in the studio. Their open back design however make them less suitable for tracking, recording and location work.
Analogue monitor controllers are a very important part of a modern digital studio. Most interfaces only have digital volume controls, which actually reduce the bit depth of the signal as well as turning the volume down. By using an analogue controller, you retain the full bit depth and detail at low volumes.
Studio subwoofers are designed to compliment your monitoring setup. It is often advisable to match your subwoofer to you main monitoring setup, to ensure the smoothest frequency response and most accurate listening enviroment.
