A-Designs Pacifica is truly a special set of preamps. Even if you don't know anything about Quad Eight, as most really don't, Pacifica stands on it's own as a set of world class mic preamps for all applications. They're versatile and simply sound great. I'd only used this for the first time recently and it's definitely my new favorite set of ...
A-Designs is one of my very favorite gear makers. Overall, the ATTY is a great general purpose studio tool that does what I want it to as simply as possible--no more, no less. It's dead simple to use, quiet, and the quality is very good. There's only one thing that particularly bugs me about this unit: when the level pot is al...
The A-Designs REDDI is one of the best modern tube DI boxes around and is up there with the best that I've ever used. Add it to your recording studio and it's a one stop shop for recording direct. While I've only used it for recording bass, which seems to be what it's best for, it will certainly work well for recording anything else direct lik...
While not everyone is going to have a need for A-Designs ATTY, for those who do this is a high quality option at a pretty reasonable price. A-Designs outlines all the uses for this on their site, but I've used it for volume control on a passive set of speakers for the most part, although it does float around at the studio and will sometimes be ...
The A-Designs 500HR is a simple two space 500 series rack casing. Usually 500 series racks come in six or ten space casings, so it’s rare to see one that only has two spaces. The unit is a single space rack mountable piece of gear, fitting in any traditional rack casing, which is also rare for a 500 series rack unit. It’s got XLR inputs and o...
The A-Designs EM-Red and this series of mic preamps in general is something everyone with a 500 series rack should be aware of. Unfortunately you can't really try each one in the series out before buying them unless you've got them on hand elsewhere, but each of them definitely has their own sound. The EM-Red is probably my favorite for record...
If you are putting together a 500 series rack, the A-Designs EM-Blue preamp is definitely one that you need to be aware of. It's also worth it to check out the others in this line of preamps, as each has their own thing going on and it really comes down to personal preference. I've tried a few of these in this series and the EM-Blue is unlike ...
A-Designs is an innovative company, as I love the idea of the 500 series line or mic preamps that they've put out. The EM-Silver is one in this line, and is one which has all it's own sound. Before choosing one in this series, I'd recommend hearing each if possible to see what might work best for you, as each really is it's own animal. All ar...
The A-Designs MP-2A is the perfect stereo tube preamplifier to add to your home or professional studio. While most home studio owners probably won't be able to afford this, those who will be able to will be getting a top tier tube preamp for their front end. If you're looking at tube preamplifiers for any studio, definitely keep the MP-2A in y...
While the A-Designs EM-PEQ is probably the best 500 series equalizer that I've used, it definitely comes with a large price. Home studio owners won't be adding these any time soon, but if you're a professional studio owner looking to add to your 500 series rack, and do have some money to spend, the EM-PEQ is a great investment. If you're not l...
