As well as sounding great it's also very easy to use; the central knob is nice and tactile, and the onboard gain controls respond nicely to change.

Incredible fast recording

When using computer systems, latency can throw up a gamut of problems. Fortunately, the AIR 192 8 Audio Interface allows you to record with next to zero latency. Meaning you can always capture that killer performance. The high-speed USB connection means you won't be bogged down with clicks or pops when recording and there is even a direct monitor mode to help keep you in time.

Super clean preamps

No matter how big your studio is - you always deserve amazingly clean and transparent audio. The M-Audio AIR 192 8 delivers this with assurance, thanks to the superb Crystal Preamps. These preamps guarantee the best possible sound from your microphone and capture your performance perfectly. The AIR 192 8 uses very clean A/D converters for 24-bit resolution digital audio and has a huge dynamic range that can pick up on every nuance of your playing. Regardless of whether you plug in a microphone, or a guitar directly into the interface. It just sounds amazing.

M-Audio BX5-D3 Studio Monitors

Premium-grade design, high-end sound reproduction

Not only have the BX5-D3’s been designed with military grade materials, but also with military precision. The 5” Kevlar woofer is the ideal material to produce high quality sound, being both rigid enough to project low end frequencies and light enough to give clear transient responses. The 1” dome tweeter is also made of silk, for an incredibly fast response, meaning the high frequencies are reproduced with clear definition, allowing you to hear every part of your mix.

The speaker casing has been carefully designed for its purpose. The tweeter sits within a custom waveguide, allowing for a controlled dispersion of sound, instead of just pockets of high end like other speakers. The rear-mounted bass port is also designed to give a defined bass response and extension. This means the BX5-D3 can make a truly full 3D soundscape.

Acoustic positioning made easy

The BX5-D3’s have been developed to give tremendous sound reproduction in any environment. If used in a small room, bass frequencies can build up corners and bounce off surfaces. This gives the false impression of too much or too little bass in your mix, meaning it will not translate to other systems or environments well. The Acoustic Space Control feature offers 3 types of low frequency attenuation (56Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz), allowing you to get a clear representation of low end clarity in your mix.

A blue LED on the front of the monitors is designed to find the best listening position as easy as possible, the blue LED will shine at it’s brightest when you have found the sweet spot. This allows for uncompromised accuracy and critical evaluation, to truly get the best out of your production.

Bi-amplified power with tons of headroom

Both the tweeter and woofer in the BX5-D3s are independently powered by their own Class A/B internal amplifiers. Each amplifier has been tailored to the frequency range it handles, whilst still complimenting the other amplifier. With a finely-tuned crossover point, this guarantees each driver handles the frequencies it is meant to, making for powerful and cohesive sound.

These are M-Audio’s most efficient monitors to date. Boasting a collective 100 watts of power, headroom is no problem for the D3’s. The higher headroom allows for the volume to be increased, without any distortion of the sound. The additional power not only means you can listen to your mixes at a slightly louder level for referencing (we do not recommend listening at a high level for long time periods), but they are also great to use as general media speakers.

Marantz MPM-1000 Condenser Microphone

Hear every detail

The Marantz MPM-1000 lets you capture high quality, detailed audio with a high sensitivity pickup. Thanks to the smooth frequency response, you’ll hear the subtle nuances often missed by similar mics on the market. Whether you're making podcasts, creating videos, or producing music, you’ve got studio-quality for use with your favourite DAW.

Focussed on your performance

No background noise. No disturbances. The MPM-1000 features a cardioid polar pattern for precise recording, offering maximum gain before feedback. It’s ideal for recording closely-spaced subjects and live performances, isolating a singular sound source with ease. That means noise coming from elsewhere in the room won’t get in the way of your take.

Marantz Sound Shield Compact Reflection Filter

Ideal for field use

The Marantz Sound Shield Reflection Filter is constructed from two curved folding metal panels to allow for easy transportation and use out of the studio. The panels are backed with high quality acoustic foam to provide an even more accurate, noise free recording. The Sound Shield Reflection Filter is both small and light, allowing you to easily move the filter around whilst fastened to a microphone stand.
