JodyJazz has completed its HR* Custom Dark series of saxophone mouthpieces with the addition of a baritone model. The HR* Custom Dark Baritone offers the same tonal qualities that characterize the other mouthpieces in the line. “With the HR* Custom Dark Baritone, we retained the clarity of the mid register while taking off annoying highs be designing a rollover baffle that gives nice feedback to the player,” said JodyJazz founder Jody Espina. The mouthpieces are made using the company’s proprietary CHR Chedeville Hard Rubber, which imparts more warmth due to its purity and density.
Samson’s Q9x Broadcast Dynamic Microphone is designed to produce audio for broadcasts, podcasts, streams and music recordings. It features an XLR output and easily integrates into most existing professional or home studio setups. The Q9x’s cardioid pickup pattern provides superior off-axis rejection while minimizing ambient noise, making the mic suitable for use in untreated home studios.
