The Silent Sister SS-1 recording isolation speaker cabinet by Rivera attacks one of the greatest challenges for musicians: how to get an amplified guitar tone at a low level! This cabinet relieves air pressure through a built in air labyrinth in the back side of the cabinet which attenuates the sound level while relieving the sealed compartment air pressure drawbacks. The panels inside the SilentSister are designed to relieve standing waves and reflections. The cabinet has two pre-wired microphone goose necks to allow for mic placement, handles and wheels for easy transportation, and two Neutrik XLR connectors on the back for signal connection. This isolation cabinet is designed for home and studio recording as well as live performances.

The AC420 from Eastman is an impeccably crafted, all solid-wood, flat top guitar. Eastman acoustics are entirely handmade by skilled luthiers. This model features Indian Rosewood back and sides with a Sitka Spruce top. The sound is crisp and punchy with that classic dreadnought presence. The fact that Eastman can make this guitar at this price-point is utterly amazing. You won't find a better price on an all-solid-wood dread anywhere. Here at Sound Pure, we've been pretty blown away by the Eastman acoustic guitars ever since they came out. Comes standard with a hardshell case and limited lifetime warranty.

From Mojave Audio

Born to a lineage of fine microphone designs by David Royer, the MA-200 gives warm, full-bodied reproductions of vocals and instruments, with none of the shrillness and high frequency distortion artifacts that are often encountered with modern condenser microphones.

Utilizing hand-selected 3-micron capsules, high-quality Jensen audio transformers and military-grade JAN 5840 vacuum tubes, the MA-200 performs at a level reminiscent of some of the best loved classic condenser microphones. The MA-200 power supply can be set for 115V and 230V, 50 or 60 Hz, through an internal switch (100V is also available). Each MA-200 microphone, power supply and cable set is burned in for 24 hours, carefully tested and evaluated, then packaged in its protective case-within-a-case.

Features:

  • Hand-selected 3-micron capsule
  • Jensen audio transformer
  • Military grade JAN 5840 vacuum tube
  • Internal switchable power supply voltage
  • Ultra clean signal path
