Blogworthy Deal of the Day…Happy Day for Beginner Drummers

09/18/2009

Okay people, get ready for this one, it’s a doosie. I have here, the Sonor Special Edition Rock20 5 Piece Shell Kit Drum sonorrock20Set and it is priced at an ultra-low $299.97. This kit is built using 9 ply basswood shells with black powder coated low mass tuning lugs and hoops for great sound and a professional look and feel. What better way to keep your learning drummer interested in playing their instrument than getting them something they will never grow out of. Not only is this a great beginner kit but it is also stage-worthy in all respects. The basswood shells provide balanced sound with lots of power and plenty of sustain. Keep in mind here people that this is a shell kit only so you will have to pick up a hardware package but we have some great deal in that area as well. The Rock 20 is the best for the sound conscious drummer. Happy Friday everybody, have a great weekend!

Turn Your Acoustic Into a Studio Instrument

09/16/2009

As you know, many acoustic guitar manufacturers rely on Fishman to provide sparkling amplified sound to their fishmanaurapedalacoustic instruments for live performances. The drawback to that is that you typically have to buy a new or newer acoustic/electric guitar to reap the benefits of installed Fishman electronics. Now, you can get the lush and detailed sound of Fishman from your own acoustic/electric guitar thanks to the Fishman Aura Spectrum Acoustic DI Preamp. The Aura Spectrum DI from Fishman is the complete tone solution for the acoustic musician who wants the best possible acoustic tone at all times. Featuring award-winning Aura Acoustic Imaging technology, this DI preamp provides a brilliant studio-mic’d tonality to your under-saddle or soundhole pickup.

Housed in a professional quality all-metal case, Aura Spectrum DI features a 3-band EQ, one-knob compressor, automatic feedback suppression with up to 3 notches, chromatic tuner, effects loop, plus a high-quality balanced XLR D.I. The included Aura Image Gallery software provides access to an ever-expanding list of instruments recorded using world-class studio mics and techniques. Upgrade the sound of all your acoustic guitars on stage without buying another new one. Sweet!

Recording Microphone Package with Style

09/14/2009

On a good day, most folks in the market for both a large diaphragm condenser and a small diaphragm condenser of notable quality would likely pay $500 or more for the pair. Spending any less would lead many shoppers to believe MXLREDSTUDIOPAKthey are getting something of questionable quality until today. Ladies and Gents, allow me to show you one of the newest additions to the American Musical Supply site, the MXL 550/551R Studio Condenser Microphone Package.

Finally, a microphone pack that includes both of the most-used mics in studio settings at a price that is beyond reasonable. Don’t let this price fool you people, though. This incredible package is sonically remarkable considering the ultra-low price. You will get brilliance found on much higher priced mics from this pair and still have plenty of cash left over to cover the cost of beer for the recording session. This recording ensemble includes the MXL 550, a robust vocal condenser microphone with exceptional clarity and tonal quality, as well as the MXL 551 instrument microphone with the dynamic range needed for acoustic guitars, drums, high-hat cymbals, pianos, percussion, stringed instruments and more. At-last, a recording microphone set that sounds great and is uber cheap for us money minded engineers. Oh Happy Day!
