Metric Halo ULN2 – Central Nervous System of The Sudio. Apple Mac Mini, Image Speakers and Wharfedale speakers can be seen in the background.
Sennheiser HD-25 mark 2 hardly ever gets used when theres gorgeous speakers around. Generic Midi Keyboard.
The Current Set Up
Surround Sound Volume Controller: Always thinking about the future lol Just need 2 more beautiful speakers and i can use it for its intended purpose.
Blue Kiwi: Clear and one of the fastest slew rates ive heard in any mic.
The Essentials in any studio AKG C414,D112 and a now discontinued TX Beyerdynamic mic.
The Workhorse Mics: Shure SM 58 and AKG C214. (C414′s sibling)
Cyrus Preamp and 2x Stereo amps, one amp driving tweeters on the Image pair and a complete seperate amp to run the low end woofers.
The Custom Built (for me!) Beast Amp: 2 Different classes each playing its part to create a whole new class of sound, bridged along with the cyprus al,ps but feeding into a wharfdale setup. Sound heaven when they all running together.
The tube inside the custom built Beast Amp. Valvo E80CC easily sourced within NZ and sound gorgeous.
