Product Description

Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder

This is a stereo digital recorder that in hands more capable than mine could produce quite-nearly professional level recordings.

I bought this a few weeks ago for interview and to create rich media projects for my work as a reporter. I found that when you take the time to be careful with it, and can do some clean up in post-production, this mic/recorder combo will rival systems costing thousands more. Yes, it's built in mics are *that* good. And it's an all-in-one solution to field recording. The basic design premise is quite clever, actually.

M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 Powered Speakers

For the price I can honestly say that the quality of the product is top notch. First, the packaging - TRIPLE boxed - they're already double boxed from the factory, then they are placed inside another box from Amazon - so even if there were dropped kicked, I doubt they would incur any damage. Secondly and most important - the sound quality at high volume levels. Although meant for near-field sonic quality (which they of course excel at) I use them in a classroom setting where I need to get the audio message across to high-school students.

Dave Smith Instruments Evolver Analog Synthesizer

WHAT IT IS

MINIMOOG VOYAGER Performer Edition

The Moog Minimoog Voyager Performer Edition is designed to last you a lifetime. An all-analog performance synthesizer incorporating virtually all of the functions of the original Minimoog synthesizer, produced from 1971 to 1984, and a number of new features that bring the Minimoog into the 21st century and beyond.

Features include 3 ultrastable oscillators, dual Moog filters, 4-stage analog envelope generators, flexible modulation buses, and much more.

Moog Little Phatty - Stage II Analog Synthesizer

This is the third revision of the Little Phatty, and is both a hardware upgrade - by way of the new USB port – and a software one (there's a new OS). The USB port brings MIDI functionality direct to your computer with no need for drivers, while the new OS adds an arpeggiator, tap tempo and LFO synchronisation to incoming MIDI clocks.

In detail

Professional DVD Turntable With Component Video Output

This product is a tank, as long as you used quality blanks (read: Verbatim or other top tier manufacturers) my 2 DVJ-X1s have worked eons better than anything else on the market. HOWEVER, unless you need BNC component outputs there is no reason for fork out the extra cash for these now that the DVJ-1000s are on the market. The 1000s also have a nicer platter and brighter display. I cannot fault this deck for anything else, they ushered in a new era of abilities for DJs and VJs alike. Scratch your favorite videos with ease.

Korg mini-KP Dynamic Effect Processor

This is practically a Kaoss Pad at a fraction of the price. a very interesting and useful tool for adding real time special FX to any type of music. Though intended mostly for the DJ or electronic musician this can be very creative and useful any more conventional type of music! you get 100 effects and two memory locations to store your favorite Fxs and settings.
