The Yamaha NS-10M Studio is a loudspeaker that became a standard nearfield studio monitor in the music industry among rock and pop recording engineers. Originally launched in 1978 as the NS-10 speaker, it started life as a bookshelf speaker destined for the domestic environment. It was poorly received but eventually became a valuable tool with which to mix rock recordings. The speaker has a characteristic white-coloured mid–bass drive unit. It was said to have a harsh treble response. Yamaha responded to this by redesigning the crossover and tweeter to give a smoother treble response. At the same time the company altered the front-baffle logo so that it was legible when the speaker was placed horizontally, the generally preferred method of use. This tweaked design, known as the NS-10M Studio

The Red 1 pre became an essential kit in the world's top studios, thanks to its unique signature sound and its ability to perform flawlessly with any microphone. With 66dB of gain, you can use the Red 1 500 Series pre with your condensers, dynamics, and ribbon mics, too.
The Focusrite Red 3 is a Class A VCA-based dual mono/stereo compressor/limiter. The compressor/limiter features a single Class A VCA to achieve truly high class compression and limiting free of the usual compromises. The success of the design is attested to by the Red 3’s TEC award for Outstanding Technical Achievement in the Signal Processing Technology category. The VCA used is a proprietary Focusrite design, fully discrete and balanced, offering superb low noise and distortion, and excellent common-mode rejection. In order to separate compression and limiting, the side-chain electronics contain three VCAs in series to generate compression and limiting control voltages which drive the main VCA. The result is true compression followed by limiting, rather than the more common characteristic of compression that turns into limiting. The side-chain electronics are class A, ensuring superb transient response. Both compression and limiting therefore offer true peak response, not averaging RMS response.

The Tube-Tech CL-1B Compressor, introduced in 1991, is Tube-Tech founder John G. Petersen's take on classic optical compression. The CL-1B has gone on to become an industry standard found in pro studios worldwide. In fact, it's the "go-to" compressor for vocals and bass in LA and Nashville. The reason for its enduring popularity is no mystery: it delivers velvety-smooth, musical-sounding compression while preserving the clarity of the source — even when pushed hard. In operation, the CL-1B is a model of simplicity, offering separate control over ratio, threshold, attack and release. Just start dialing away; you'll immediately hear what it's doing and be able to intuitively zero-in on the perfect settings. It's nearly impossible to make this compressor sound bad!
The UREI 1176 LN Peak Limiter is probably best known for the energy and high-class grit it bestows, a musically-pleasing pushing of the tone in the lower mids. Think big. But also think intimate. That’s the 1176’s dichotomic charm. For grabbing vocals and placing them at the front of the mix it’s near impassable. But it’ll also work on just about anything else, from kicks, snares and claps through to synths and even full drum sub-mixes. In addition to the four standard ratios selected via push buttons on the front panel, engineers found out by pushing in all four buttons simultaneously, the unit can be forced to behave in a completely different manner, with seriously assertive results. The high ratio, often distorted results of this ‘all buttons in’ (or ‘Brit’) mode can be explosive on drums and aggressive on bass.
The LA-3A has discrete circuitry and balanced ins and outs, along with adjustable input gain and threshold. it employs the same T4 opto cell for compression as found in the LA-2A. Excellent for vocals, guitars, and mix buss. Great mid-range presence that engineers love. Can be very invisible, or more pronounced, due to continuously variable rotary controls. 'Peak Reduction' increases the sidechain gain - lowering the threshold and increasing compression - while 'Gain' is used to adjust the makeup gain.
