Tracktion Copper Reference www.resolutionmag.com
Nominated in the Resolution Magazine 2017 Product Awards, Interface category: the Tracktion Copper Reference as reviewed in our May 2017 issue by George Shilling - Bank Cottage Studio - "Listening to the DA output one is immediately struck by the purity and clarity of the audio. Even at 44.1kHz things seem fluid and open, and listening is unarguably more pleasant than using my own I/O which I thought was pretty good, is a current model and is highly respected ... The different I/O options here make the Copper Reference suitable for integration into a bigger system as well as for standalone setup - you might use a high I/O count interface for tracking, but when overdubbing make use of this for a cleaner (or dirtier valve) character. And you can monitor through the best possible DAC at all times. Extraordinary." ... See MoreSee Less

Maag Audio Magnum K
Nominated for the Resolution Magazine 2017 Product Awards in the Dynamics processor category: the Maag Audio Magnum K - a dynamics processor like no other! Reviewed by George Shilling - Bank Cottage Studio in our March edition (V16.2): "The K-Comp works wonderfully (on vocals and other sources); this almost always attacks exactly the right area to tame nasties. It works smoothly and invisibly, and I found I could often wind the Threshold up very high and make the LED meter glow intensely with no detrimental artefacts." ... See MoreSee Less

Reviewed this month in Resolution Magazine , the Aston Microphones Starlight:
"An initial walk around the Starlight with the voicing at the Hybrid setting shows that the off-axis frequency response is indeed very smooth and balanced up to the 90 degree point, after which it starts getting quite lumpy. Direct comparison with a KM184 and an AKG C451 reissue with spoken word on-axis shows that the Starlight is a little brighter and harder sounding – and remains so whichever of the three voicings is selected. The difference between these three settings is quite subtle – the Modern setting pushes high-mid presence, giving a sound that is best described as more forward rather than brighter. Vintage removes this bump, and lifts the LF response ever so slightly. Hybrid sounds fractionally (and I mean fractionally) brighter than Vintage, and a little tighter in the low mids." ...
