It's not a scoop but, anyway, just to remember:

One of the newest editions to the sE microphone family is the sE5, building upon the well known sE4 and setting a new standard for small diaphragm microphones at its price point. The sE5 offers excellent features and performance specifications including a fixed cardioid polar pattern, 100Hz bass cut and -10/-20dB pad switches and also includes its own custom shock mount - an essential component to reduce the unwanted effects of vibrations or knocks to the supporting microphone stand.

The all new and exciting sE5 is designed for studio and live use and is the ideal choice for recording drums, percussion, piano and any stringed acoustic instrument. The sE5 is also available in a pair with two shock mounts, a stereo mounting bar and sE Electronics flight case.

The Sub 37 Tribute Edition is a limited edition (2-note) paraphonic analog synthesizer built on the award winning Sub Phatty sound engine.

Its panel features 40 knobs, 74 switches, and has a dedicated LCD display - placing each critical sound creation element and live performance tool quickly at your command.

Creating an instrument your own hands is the part of the true enjoyment of an analog synthesizer. The MS-20 Kit lets you obtain a real, full-sized MS-20 by assembling it yourself.

It goes without saying that, just like the MS-20 mini released in January 2013, the engineers who developed the original MS-20 have overseen this project - ensuring that its historic sound is reproduced with complete fidelity. In addition, the MS-20 Kit provides the filters from both the early and late versions of this classic instrument and it even allows you to switch between them.

Today, 36 years after this historic instrument was first unveiled in 1978, the MS-20 returns to its true origin.

iRig Mic HD sports a 24-bit audiophile-grade A/D converter, a 44.1/96 kHz sampling rate, and a low noise/high definition pre-amp. It captures pristine audio that will suit the most demanding professional needs on the field or in the studio. Its accurate gain control and signal/level multi-colour LED indicator make it easy to set an appropriate level for any sound-pressure situation, whether it's a loud concert or a quiet, whispering vocal.
