Deals Of The Week: Get Nearly 15% Off AIAIAI Unit-4 Wireless+
The AIAIAI Unit-4 Wireless+ studio monitors let you create a basic studio setup in remote locations where this might not otherwise be possible. These 4-inch 80W speakers reach down to 40 Hz and provide up to 20 hours of battery time, so you can keep the session going as long as you need to. While the Unit-4s provide basic Bluetooth connectivity, this isn’t what sets them apart from other wireless speakers.
With the included X02 transmitter, the Unit-4s can use low-latency uncompressed audio. All you need to do is connect your laptop via USB-C, and the Unit-4s immediately become studio-quality. What’s more, the X02 also has a stereo mini-jack input for analog signals, letting you get this functionality with a wide range of different devices.
With the flexibility of portable, wireless operation in a set of studio monitors, you would expect to compromise somewhere down the line. However, AIAIAI has done its homework to ensure that the design of the Unit-4 maintains the kind of monitoring experience you’d expect from most studio monitors in this size and price range.
Deals Of The Week: Save nearly 25% on the Elektron Digitakt II
The Digitakt II is the latest generation of Elektron’s most popular sampling groove box that combines audio and MIDI playback with a flexible sequencer across 16 channels with per-track effects, global effects sends, master bus processing, and effects sequencing. This allows you to approach the Digitakt II in a number of ways.
As a traditional MPC-style sampler, capturing audio, you have up to 66 seconds of stereo 24-bit, 48 kHz sampling per take, and there are five different playback machines for treating the audio in different ways. You can also load the Digitakt II up with your favourite sample packs and use it as the center of your DAWless production setup.
This allows you to use the Digitakt’s advanced sequencer to control your favourite synths and drum machines, which can then be sampled back in when you’re ready to start building the arrangement. Overall, the Digitakt II provides immense creative power as a standalone device, which is expanded even further with the help of the Overbridge DAW integration platform.
Deals Of The Week: Get Nearly 15% Off the Cranborne Audio Brick Lane 500
The Cranborne Audio Brick Lane 500 is a flexible PWM compressor module for the 500 series format. With its versatile modal PWM technology, you can choose between six different compression modes for different applications. With the Velvet setting, you get smooth vari-mu style compression with tube-like harmonics, while the Float setting gives you opto-style behavior.
For more aggressive shaping, the Smash setting provides FET-style compression behavior, while Tame delivers precise and responsive transient management. For bus compression, the Glue setting provides the punch and cohesiveness you might expect from a classic VCA compressor, while Polish gives you mastering-style limiting.
In addition, there is a sidechain high-pass filter with four modes, and the Optosync function, which allows wireless linking for stereo applications. Overall, the Brick Lane provides plenty of value with many compression characteristics in a single module, which is relatively easy to use in both tracking and mixing.
