Meanwhile, lets take a closer look at our selection of Studio Deals this week:

Yamaha HS5

The Yamaha HS series is an excellent choice for home music production, especially if you’re looking to get your first set of studio monitors. The 2-way bi-amplified design uses a rear-ported bass reflex system and comes in a range of sizes.

While the HS might not be the most exciting speaker to listen to, it provides a more neutral frequency response that makes it great for mixing. Furthermore, they offer decent translation onto the most popular playback devices.

Meanwhile, on the monitor’s rear panel, you’ll find balanced TRS and XLR connections and acoustic EQ controls for introducing high and low shelving filters.

SSL Audio Interfaces

The SSL range of desktop audio interfaces provides excellent solutions for home recording, podcasting, and content creation. Equipped with up to 32-bit/192kHz recording capabilities, these interfaces allow you to capture a range of instruments.

One of the highlights is definitely the 4K mic preamps, modelled on the console channel strips that SSL is famous for. With clear LED metering and 62 dB of gain, you can work with a wide selection of mics.

Until July 27, you’ll get the Apogee FX Rack included with the bundled software. This comes with 5 mixing and mastering plug-ins worth over $500.

Shure SM7B

You’ve seen it on your favourite YouTube channels, the SM7B is the preferred choice of podcasters, content creators, and home recording artists.

With its low-output dynamic design, you get excellent off-axis rejection. Furthermore, this means that you can capture recordings in less-than-ideal acoustic environments.

This makes the SM7B ideal for vocal recording in home studios, but you will need an additional gain-boosting device or preamp to optimize the signal before it reaches your audio interface.

1073 Preamps

The famous 1073 console channel strip and its close relatives, the 1081, and 1084 have become some of the most sought-after recording tools ever designed. Originally, the 1073 ushered in a new era with transistor-based audio designs at a time when vacuum tubes were the standard.

With 60 db of mic gain to work with you can get the most out of your dynamic, condenser, and even vintage mics. The secret to using any 1073-style preamp lies in its ability to overload the input gain while you trim back the output level.

This allows you to introduce additional harmonics and access the transformer-saturated sound that we know from some of our favourite records of all time.

SSL Fusion

As we create music almost exclusively in DAW software these days, it’s easy to forget how much colour and life an analogue bus processor like the SSL Fusion can breathe into your productions.

The Fusion combines multiple processors into one easy-to-use device for shaping your master bus. These include SSL’s vintage drive, the Violet 2-band EQ, a high-frequency compressor with variable crossover, and a stereo image processor.

In addition, you have an insert signal path with mid-side processing capabilities and the famous SSL listen mic compressor as an added bonus.
