The Antelope Pure 2

The Antelope Pure2 is a high-end mastering converter, powered by Antelope Audio’s legendary clocking and pristine analog circuitry. Pure2 is a mastering-grade 24-bit, 192 kHz AD/DA 2-channel converter and master clock that includes a relay-controlled volume attenuator. It features Antelope Audio’s world-renowned Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) technology, and also utilises pristine analog circuitry, driven by a proprietary multi-stage linear power supply for unsurpassed digital clarity and analog realism.

The Tegeler Audio Magnetismus 2 VCA Compressor

The Tegeler Audio Magnetismus 2 VCA Compressor was developed for the processing of drums and other transient rich signals such as acoustic guitars. It combines a modern flexible VCA compressor with a downstream Transient Shaper. The result is a fat sound, which is similar to a tape recording, but integrates better into the mix due to the highly developed analog circuitry.

Magnetismus 2 can also be used as a creative sound design tool when a ‘targeted destruction’ is desired for your audio signals.

Because the compressor can be used separately, the Magnetismus 2 is also well suited to mix individual signals or to be used as a bus compressor.

FEATURES:

  • Stereo Unit
  • VCA Compressor
  • Adjustable threshold and ratio
  • Wide range of adjustable timing
  • LED gain reduction meter
  • Adjustable level and intensity of transient processing
  • Illuminated VU meter for working point control
  • Adjustable output level
  • Stepped Potentiometers
  • Bypass Switch
  • Internal power supply

‘It’s beautiful converting and listening on the Pure 2. Finally, the three dimensions!’

The Neve 1073 SPX

The Neve 1073 SPX has a 1073 Class A design microphone preamplifier, with 3-band EQ (fixed HF plus two switchable bands with cut/boost capability) and high pass filters.

Designed and built in England, the modern-day 1073® SPX is produced to the exact specifications of the original with matched components to ensure the sound remains true.

The 1073 SPX has a 1073 Class A design microphone preamplifier, with 3-band EQ (fixed HF plus two switchable bands with cut/boost capability) and high pass filter, which adds warmth and depth to recordings, brings out subtle ambience, maintains spatial positioning, and captures a more precise image embodying, think many engineers and producers, the essence of the genuine Neve sound.

Building on the 1073 classic module features, the 1073 SPX introduces extra functionality with integrated DI input, phantom power, selectable Insert feature, level meters, output level control and front input connectors for easy and direct connection of microphones and instruments. The 19” rack-mount 1U unit includes an external multi-voltage PSU.

Designed and developed in 1970 the Neve 1073 SPX has been repurposed 47 years later, but that’s what AMS Neve have just done with the 1073 SPX. 

The classic Neve 1073 input module was designed for a bespoke mixing console called the A88, built for Wessex Studios in Islington, London. It’s a discrete semi-modular transistor design with transformers on both the input and output, and a three-band EQ plus separate high-pass filter.

‘The world’s most famous console preamp and EQ continues to evolve to meet the needs of the modern studio.’

‘The first choice mic preamp for leading producers and artists.

The quality is legendary.’

The Heritage Audio Successor

The Heritage Audio Successor is Class A stereo bus compressor using true-stereo diode bridge design, Carnhill transformers, advanced side-chain filtering and parallel processing.

The Heritage Audio Successor features true stereo operation thanks to extremely tight left/right tracking and near-zero offset between channel. Unlike other compressors that sum the left and right channels in the detector circuit, the Successor’s compression is triggered by the loudest signal in either channel.

The Successor delivers a classic sound reminiscent of vintage British compressors with Class A signal path and Carnhill transformer balanced inputs and outputs. Modern features have been added to respond to current musical trends, including ultra-fast attack and release times which give it a FET-like behaviour, and a Mix/Dry blend control allowing for parallel compression. All controls are stepped using Grayhill switches for precise settings and easy recall.

‘Vocal compression is all about enhancing the character and presence of the voice, and the Successor made that an intuitive and extremely rewarding process.’

The Apollo 8

The Apollo 8 is the world’s most acclaimed professional recording interface.

The Apollo 8 provides a suite of incredible analog emulation plug-ins including the world’s only authentic Teletronix LA-2A, 1176LN, and Fairchild compressors, the legendary Pultec EQs, and the Unison-enabled UA 610-B Tube Preamp. Developed by UA’s world-renowned team of algorithm engineers, these Realtime Analog Classics plug-ins set the standard by which all other hardware emulation plug-ins are judged.

From the tube warmth of the Pultec EQ on guitars, to the gentle limiting of the LA-2A on vocals, or the pump of a genuine Fairchild 670 compressor on drums, your recordings will take a giant leap forward in rich, sonically complex analog sound

Apollo 8p is the premium eight-preamp version of the world’s most acclaimed professional recording interface for Mac and Windows — giving project and commercial studios superior A/D and D/A conversion with the tone, feel, and realtime workflow of classic analog recording.

Built upon UA’s 60-year heritage of audio craftsmanship, Apollo 8p distinguishes itself with eight Unison-enabled mic preamps, onboard UAD-2 QUAD Core processing, and an included bundle of award-winning UAD plug-ins — which you can track through with near-zero latency, shaping sounds like a classic analog studio — without taxing your host Mac or PC.

Neumann U87 AI Microphone.

The Neumann U 87 Ai is a true legend. Introduced in 1967, it has shaped the sound of countless hit records for the past 50 years. And when those hits were announced on the radio, many a DJ sat before a U 87 Ai. The legend continues: To this day, no professional recording studio is complete without a Neumann U 87 Ai.

The Neumann U 87 Ai is probably the best-known and most frequently used studio microphone the world over. Its smooth and refined sound is as iconic as its elegant exterior design. The U 87 Ai is the standard microphone for speech and vocals. Three polar patterns plus pad and low cut options make it adaptable to a wide range of applications. The result is a studio microphone of unmatched clarity. Its natural sound and unique midrange presence make the U 87 Ai the ultimate vocal microphone.
