Audio Hardware : Burgin McDaniel Design Komit - pcmusicBurgin McDaniel Design has announced the release of their first self-branded product, the Komit which is a compressor / limiter using the API standard form factor and pin out.

Built around a balanced, floating input and output via Triad Magnetics iron, the Komit is designed for ease of use because makeup gain is automatic via a Compression control. When set to minimum, the compression ratio is 1:1. As ratio increases, the source level remains constant. A separate Output gain adjustment controls a discrete, pre-limiter analog gain stage that drives the limiter for color and effect or, can be left at unity if no further gain staging or timbral modification is needed.

Pricing on the Komit is set at $995, with the first twenty five units serialized and signed by the design team. A limited edition Producers Pack is also available, which houses two Komits in a black walnut cabinet, complete with power supply.

Mar 19 - 03:11 PM, by Nantho Audio Hardware > CharterOak Acoustic Devices
Audio Hardware : New products from CharterOak - pcmusicCharterOak Acoustic Devices gears up to release three new products at the 2008 AES Show in Amsterdam. Due to be on display for the first time is the SCL-1, M900-T, and the Small Studio Collection.

The SCL-1 Solid State Compressor/Limiter employs all discreet electronics and is capable of providing a constant output level regardless of input level or frequency, without the familiar pumping inherent in most compressor/limiters. The unit delivers extremely fast attack times without overcompensation, and a release characteristic, which is a function of dynamic range and average program level. It will begin shipping in June of 2008.

The M900-T employs the same cardioid, hyper-cardioid, and omni capsules used with popular M900 Transformerless Small Diaphragm Condenser. However, the M900-T combines these capsules with a vacuum tube head amplifier and custom output transformer.

The CharterOak Small Studio Collection is the total microphone solution for small recording studios with a tight budget. Consisting of a critics favorite, the SA538 Large Diaphragm Condenser, the E700 Solid State condenser and a sequentially numbered matched pair of M900s, start up and well established studios will benefit from this full spectrum selection of microphones and will be able to tackle any recording situation from vocals to orchestra to loud electric guitars. This collection is all you need and is delivered in a solid locking flight case with all of the necessary accessories and CharterOak's Lifetime Warranty.
