This new test and measurement condenser microphone from Audix is known for its linearity, accurate response and consistency. On top of that, it is also very easy to use and is very affordable compared to other condenser high quality condenser microphones available in the market today. It is designed to capture acoustic measurements for room analysis in software programs, real-time analyzers, and other sound-control devices.

The TM1 is an omni-directional microphone. It means that its response is generally considered as a perfect sphere in three dimensions, which means it picks up sound evenly from all directions. For other stand-mount condenser microphones, that is virtually impossible. This is because the body of the TM1 Test and Measurement Microphone is uniquely small, allowing sound even of the highest frequencies to be heard clearly. Since the TM1 is an omni-directional condenser microphone, it adds very little to the original sound, making it the “purest” microphone available today.

Being an omni microphone is perhaps the greatest feature of the TM1. By picking up sound virtually from all directions evenly, with a circular pattern, you are assured that what you get is sound in its rawest form. That makes the TM1 Test and Measurement Microphone of Audix an excellent choice for symphonic music recording because the audience, as well the entire hall reverberation, will be picked up equally along with the music, providing nothing but an accurate representation of a musical performance done in a concert hall. It is exactly these highly accurate pick up characteristics that make the TM1 the best stand-mount condenser microphone for pro recording both for studio and live performance.

Who would believe that for such an affordable price you will get all these amazing features and more – it also includes an innovative acoustic foam windscreen that threads seamlessly into the microphone housing for secure and stable operation and a shockmount adapter. So what are you waiting for? Get the Audix TM1 Test and Measurement Microphone today!

The R-05 boasts of its stable stereo recording capability with a resolution reaching up to 24-bit/96kHz, virtually making any recording straight to the SD card very possible. That being said, the Roland R-05 is therefore one convenient recording tool – you can use it at school, in the boardroom, and even in the streets. The R-05 will not need any external microphone because it already has its own built-in stereo microphone. But if you really want to use one, the R-05 has the port for an external mic. Since the R-05 is the newest multi track recorder from Roland, it already has the newest Roland CS-10EM Binaural Microphone and Earphones – this means that you can do pro recording using just a tiny device.

On top of its physical features that will surely fit any musician’s need for mobile pro recording, the Roland R-05 can stand having 16 straight hours worth of content. And it gets better because if you want to repeat what you just recorded, you can easily toy with its playback speed without altering the quality and the pitch of the sound.

You can loop different audio regions with the R-05 because its Rehearsal mode automatically adjusts and compensates to suit your recording needs. Its integrated reverb also provides a high gloss finish to the recordings. But perhaps the real edge that the R-05 has over other multi track recorders is its ability to record both WAV and MP3 based formats simultaneously, on the same performance. This feature is exclusive to the R-05 alone, and if you do not find that at least impressive, then I don’t know what will.

No other pocket-sized recorder could be better. Fill in that void in your pocket and get the Roland R-05 WAV/MP3 Handheld Recorder today!

The MicroBook lets you have a complete personal recording set up whether on a Mac or on a PC. It has four simultaneous inputs for a microphone, a guitar, and a keyboard or any other stereo line-level device. Its mic preamp gives nothing but a neutral coloration and pristine sound, thanks to 20dB pad and 48V phantom power of its built-in condenser mics. On top of that, the MicroBook offers flexible monitoring options – choose among a programmable analog, a digital and headphone outputs.

But perhaps the best thing about the MicroBook is its superb audio quality. It provides rigid audio quality particularly tailored to meet the demands of most professional recording applications. Because it comes from MOTU’s award-winning family of FireWire, USB and PCI audio interfaces, the MicroBook is without a doubt a product that signifies decades of engineering expertise.

Most of the audio interface brands that we see in the market today (even the expensive ones) usually cut corners with unbalanced analog inputs and outputs. Such imbalance then results to a greatly compromised performance that falls way below an equivalent balanced circuit. But the MicroBook has well balanced inputs and outputs that ensure only the best protection possible against RF interference, AC hum, and other noise-creating environmental factors.

With the birth of the MicroBook, you can now have quality I/O recording, personal audio tracking, laptop-based DJing, among many other applications, on-the-go.
