Mixing desks come in Analogue and Digital varieties. Some have built in audio interfaces. Desks combine and route audio signals and mostly contain built-in microphone preamps.

Bags covers and cases for the storage and safe transportation of your equipment.A good case can sometimes save the life of your instrument, and even just a dust cover can protect it when it's not in use...

Most Digital mixers mimic the look of the old analogue desks, but have the advantage of no added noise, easy signal routing and being able to save and load whole templates. There are also usually many on-board effects getting rid of the need for external hardware.

Dynamic Mics dont require any external power and can handle loud SPL's. Great for live shows and mic'ing drums!

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.

Microphone stands come in different shapes and sizes, some for vocalists, some for instrument mics...

Accesories and add ons for PA setups.

Accessories for field recording equipment.

Hand held field recorders are incredibly useful and versatile units. Whether you want to record aircraft whooshing past for sound FX, or just tape the junior school choir going through it's paces, these nifty little fellas are just the job, and capable of some high quality results. Many have external microphone inputs, with some providing phantom power and the ability to record from both the built in and external mics at the same time to on different channels.

Microphone pre-amplifiers convert the signal from the microphone into a line level signal, SP/DIF digital or USB format. The use of a good preamp with a good condenser or ribbon microphone can produce some very accurate and detailed results.

This Category contains Multitrack digital recorders designed for home and studio use. These units are self contained and work without a computer.

USB audio interfaces offer high quality inputs and outputs for recording and playing back your audio. With the added advantage of being easy to transport and move between systems, they are a popular solution for performers wishing to have a single high quality interface they can move between the studio and stage with ease. USB audio interfaces due to their portability and often great value remain perhaps the most common audio interfaces in use today. With USB being the computer worlds most widely supported connection standard, through using an USB audio interface it allows us the flexibility of having it either in the studio or to easily take it out on the road with you. This means that you can use the same high quality audio I/O connections and quality recording signal path found within your audio interface, no matter where your projects may take you. Regular USB audio interfaces are likely to be based around the classic USB connection

USB Mics include a digital converter, most dont have conventional XLR sockets, but provide an easy way of recording vocals into your computer. Fantastic for recording speech and voiceovers.

'Mic accessories' covers a broad range of equipment that allows filmmakers to adapt to the challenges of recording in the field.
