The KM 184 is known as "the" acoustic guitar microphone, but don't pigeon-hole it. This microphone also works well for overheads, speech applications, and spot mics. An industry standard that began with the KM 84 is continued by the more modern, quiet, and affodable KM 184.

The KSM44/SL is a multiple pattern (cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional), externally biased, dual large diaphragm condenser microphone with extremely low self-noise (7dB).

The Helix Board 24FW MkII sounds great and works hard both in and out of the studio. It features a 96 KHz FireWire interface that lets you individually stream up to 18 independent channels of audio to the computer and return 2 channels to the mixer for monitoring -- all with near-zero latency.

The 2488mkII is the follow-up to the best-selling, simple-to-use 24-track recording and mixing workstation for home studios. Like its predecessor, 8 inputs can be simultaneously recorded into the XLR and 1/4 in. inputs -- enough for a whole band. 19 physical faders control mono and stereo channels without scrolling through pages for quick and easy mixing. Each channel has 3-band EQ with a parametric mid-band and access to three built-in effects processors, including reverb and multi-effects.

The MasterLink ML-9600 combines hard disk recording, editing, digital signal processing, and the world's most advanced high-resolution CD-R format for creating professional, fully finished 2-track masters.

The new OctoPre offers the unique qualities associated with the Focusrite name at an affordable price.
