Audient iD4 USB Audio Interface


iD4 delivers the audio performance of a large format console in a portable desktop package. Providing one renowned Audient console mic pre, class-leading converter technology, two headphone inputs, console style monitor control, JFET D.I and our virtual scroll wheel technology 'ScrollControl', iD4 is a professional but affordable solution for your home studio or for when you’re on the road.

 

iD4 provides you with high performance AD-DA converters. Quality in the analogue stages of design comes from years of experience as analogue console designers, and when coupled with outstanding converter technology it enables you to hear audio as it’s supposed to sound. The importance of converters should never be underestimated. Experience audio the Audient way.

 

With a touch of a button iD4’s volume encoder becomes a virtual scroll wheel, enabling you to adjust DAW hosts, plug-in parameters and even scroll through your iTunes library - just like you’re adjusting a piece of hardware. Wherever your mouse pointer hovers, the iD knob can scroll to control! And when your not using ScrollControl, pressing iD4’s volume encoder activates DIM, enabling you to quickly reduce the playback volume.

Aston Origin Condenser Mic

 

The Aston Origin condenser microphone showcases the start to a promising brand of microphones from Aston Microphones. Launched in December 2015, the Aston Origin is one of the three original designs, along with the Aston Spirit Condenser Microphone, and Aston Halo Reflection Filter. The company boasts a great deal of expertise and craftsmanship, being one of the few companies that have successfully designed and built hand crafted and affordable microphones from here in the UK. It comes as no surprise then, that each one of these microphones will not only offer you great sound, but they will be with you for life.

 

The Aston Origin has our signature wave-form mesh head. This unique design not only looks great, but delivers an unprecedented degree of protection for the heart of your microphone, the capsule. The shock resistant wave-form design allows the head of the mic to distort if given a heavy knock, and then return to its normal position, without any damage at all. It also offers a degree of off-axis rejection, helping to eliminate unwanted artefacts from your recordings.

 

Aston’s vocal condenser microphones have an exclusive mesh-knit pop filter built into the wave-form head. The random weave allows sound to pass while virtually eliminating unwanted plosives at source. It also shields against multiple wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation making our microphones ideal in critically sensitive electronic applications. This completely encapsulating, single piece, mesh cage is formed in stainless steel, so won’t rust with use, and can even be removed and washed.

 

Yet another unique design element of the Aston Origin, is the use of custom moulded end caps with integrated XLR and stand adaptor. No other mic has this. Because the internal shock absorption system is so good, you can mount the microphone directly to a stand via this built in, and interchangeable thread adapter. The design also makes Aston microphones extremely easy to repair and maintain.

Features

  • Superbly balanced mix of discrete and integrated electronic circuitry.
  • Harmonised circuit stage arrangement for easy integration from phantom power input circuitry to capsule voltage bias.
  • A novel non-linear voltage/current source rectification to provide controlled amplification and smooth/ clear audio.

 


Studiospares SN5A Active Studio Monitor

 

Designed for the Desktop Studio, these active nearfield monitors range look good, sound good and even feel good.

 

Getting a transparent mix can be difficult in a home studio, and getting an accurate mix often proves difficult. The Studiospares SN series delivers on all of the qualities demanded from professional studio monitors, at a fraction of the cost. The cabinet is made from 16mm MDF and finished with a black vinyl, for a professional finish and feel in your home. The woofer and tweeter are both recessed to create a flush finish, whilst the back of the cabinet includes an XLR and 6.3mm Jack for use with other professional devices. There is a volume control on each speaker that can help to balance the stereo field. The bass driver has a white mineral-filled polypropylene cone with a high temperature voice coil, and rubber surround. This allows the woofer to move large amounts of air to create high sound pressure levels with low distortion, for a more pleasing sound.

 

 

Solid build, solid sound. Good power reserve with a balanced and sweet frequency response. These are not being sold via a dealer network and are imported by the container load so pricing on this level of quality is very very competitive.

 

Features

  • 5” active monitor with 2-way bass 5” magnetically shielded woofer and 1” magnetically shielded neodymium soft dome tweeter.
  • Includes Bi-amp, 1/4 TRS and XLR input.
  • The frequency range is 65Hz - 20KHz. Dimensions 225 × 185 × 280 mm.

 


Aston Shield Gooseneck Pop Filter

 

The Aston Shield GN pop filter has been engineered to give you a perfect fit on any mic stand in seconds and has one of the best quality goose-necks you’ll ever see… no more limp or hanging pop shields, no more fiddly thumb screws…

The pop filter itself features a unique, solid stainless steel shield, with precisely acid etched hexagonal filter holes, to give crystal clear vocals, with perfect acoustic performance for plosive (pop) control. It also presents a large surface area and curves around the mic, so vocalist movement is never an issue.

Perfecting your vocal tracking, and giving a real touch of class to your mic set up, the Aston Shield is a must have accessory for every studio.

Studiospares Monitor Isolation Pads

 

STUDIOSPARES MONITOR PADS Keep the sound coming from the speakers, not the surface they are standing on. Everything that can vibrate will colour the sound and that includes the surface that the monitors are mounted on. The Studiospares monitor pads decouple the energy from the supporting surface which in turn helps to give a more accurate monitoring environment. Suitable for speakers up to 20kg. Dimensions of the supporting area are 280mm long x 100mm wide x 25mm thick. Sold as a pack of 4 pads which is enough to isolate one pair of monitors.
