The Rath R300 from Rath Trombones is the latest model in the company’s Rath 00 series, which includes the R100, R400 and R900. It has a medium size bore (.525-inch) and is designed to bridge the gap between student-level instruments and Rath’s modular, hand-drafted custom trombones. Like the rest of the Rath 00 series, the R300 has an interchangeable leadpipe. Supplied with a standard leadpipe for small-shank mouthpieces, it can also accommodate a large-shank leadpipe, ensuring considerable versatility and flexibility for the player. The Rath R300 trombone features an 8-inch yellow brass bell and a yellow brass tuning slide.
Ear Trumpet Labs has introduced the Wanda microphone. Beneath its vintage-inspired exterior, Wanda delivers clarity and detail. The mic’s sweet spot extends up to 12 inches away, giving artists freedom of movement while maintaining the ability to capture tonal nuances. A medium-large diaphragm condenser capsule, high-SPL-handling circuitry design and integrated multilayer pop filter ensure professional-grade performance. Wanda thrives in high-volume scenarios, from powerful horn sections to close snare drum miking. The mic offers great feedback rejection and superior plosive control for studio-quality sound anywhere. Wanda features rugged brass construction and a built-in pivoting stand mount.
