    2-Ply UVs

    Evans has introduced the UV2 drumheads, an expansion of the UV-cured coating technology in a two-ply format. The drumheads are made using two plies of extremely durable 7-mil film. They offer a slightly punchier tone than the company’s traditional G2 drumheads, but have the same depth and attack that players expect from a two-ply drumhead. The patented UV-cured coating process provides added durability and consistency of texture.

    Songwriter Amp

    The Recording King Songwriter 60 is a two-channel acoustic instrument amplifier with balanced studio-monitor clarity and detail. Compact and lightweight, the Songwriter 60 has the capacity to amplify an acoustic instrument and voice, without the complications of excessive bells and whistles. The instrument channel delivers a pure sonic imprint of the user’s guitar, and the microphone channel can accommodate a singer’s favorite vocal mic—from standard dynamic to phantom-powered condenser. Each channel has its own reverb control.

    Neutral Condenser

    Roswell Pro Audio’s Mini K87 is an all-purpose studio condenser mic that’s designed as a neutral and uncolored counterpart to the company’s Mini K47. The signature sound of the Mini K87 comes primarily from its namesake K87 capsule, which is specially tuned for the mic and is coupled to a pristine low-distortion audio circuit. The combination delivers a warm, smooth response that’s normally associated with more expensive devices.
