With the C01UCW USB mic, musicians who record music on computers have a simple, affordable way to capture high-quality vocal and acoustic instrument performances.

Zoom R16 Multi Track Recorder

The new Zoom R16 recorder revolutionizes recording with the first digital recorder with 16-track playback and 8-track simultaneous recording that uses Secure Digital (SD) memory. The R16 is three production tools in one incredibly versatile device: a digital multi-track recorder, an audio interface and a control surface. The R16 provides you with all the tools necessary to create studio-quality recordings anywhere.

The R16 combines a remarkable level of functionality with exceptionally intuitive design. For recording purposes, the unit supports up to 32GB SD cards, allowing over 100 track hours of recording. The flexibility of SD recording not only makes the R16 lighter and more portable, it also ensures increased reliability with no concern for a crashing hard drive. You can even have respective SD cards dedicated to specific recording sessions. Back up your project on a USB memory stick.

With the ability to record up to 8 tracks simultaneously, the R16 is perfect for recording everything: from music production and rehearsals to field recording and live performances. The R16 also features the same built-in stereo condenser microphones found on an H4 for convenient “sketch-pad” capturing of ideas or rehearsals.

Computers bring incredible control and power to the recording process, but they’re not very intuitive when it comes to mixing. And mixing makes the music. So, when you’re ready to mix, the R16 is right there with you. With its USB operation, you can control the functions of your DAW software from the R16 for easy mixing with fine-tuned control. No more mixing with a mouse! The R16’s intuitive, mixing console feel, and LED meter bridge makes mixing your tracks a pleasure.

Powered Mixers - Yamaha, Peavey, Mackie

2007-07-03T08:42:00.000-07:00

Powered mixers came of age back in the late seventies when Yamaha introduced the EM series mixers: EM80, EM100, and EM150. Up until that time, a powered mixer could be heavy and less than dependable, but the Yamaha EM series set the benchmark at that time. They were light in weight, powerful, and as history proved, dependable.

The tradition set by these audio mixers is carried on today by the EMX series of Yamaha powered mixers. They include the EMX5016CF, EMX5014C, EMX212S, EMS312SC, and the EMX512SC. These new Yamaha EMX powered mixers live up to - and exceed - the reputation set by their ancestors. They're built to the same standards of sonic performance and rugged reliability that make Yamaha the first choice for live sound applications from schools to stadiums around the globe.

PA Systems

2007-06-07T13:19:00.000-07:00

The PA Systems available today are a far cry from what was available when the hippies roamed the earth - somewhere back in the '60's. In the late sixties our band used two metal, vertical columns that looked like heaters. Whenever a band member brought a guest to rehearsal, they invariably backed up to our PA speakers expecting to warm themselves! What a hoot.

Today's speakers, for one thing, don't look like heaters; they look like speakers, and Portable PA systems start at a very affordable $549 for the Yamaha StagePas 300. If your budget is bigger, you can get the Fender Passport PD-250 for $699.95, or the Yamaha StagePas 500 for $999.00. All it takes is money, right?

Fender Audio - Passport PD 250 PA System

2007-03-20T08:19:00.001-07:00

The Edrol R09 is more affordable than its predecessor, the R-1. One reason the R-1 carries a heavier price tag is because of its well-stocked lineup of internal effects.

Whether you’re listening to WAV or MP3 files, you can route the R09’s playback through its internal reverb processor, immersing it in lush, user-controllable ambience.

Powered Mixers - New Yamaha EMX Powered Mixers

2007-02-16T14:46:00.000-08:00

Yamaha EMX powered mixers come from a long legacy of powered mixers dating back to 1975. The first three Yamaha mixers to enter the portable sound market were the EM150, EM100, and the EM80. They were stereo mixers with reverb, and their power was 150 watts, 100 watts and 80 watts respectively. Because of their quality build and affordable price, they were big sellers to people building PA systems on a budget. In fact, we still see one occasionally in our shop for maintenance. Over thirty years old and still going - that's amazing!

The new Yamaha EMX powered mixers carry on the tradition that began in 1975, except with updated features, circuitry, and lower weight. The Yamaha EMX312SC powered mixer features dual 300 watt power amps and the added advantage of one-knob compression on mono channels. The EMX312SC mixer is built to the same standards of sonic performance and rugged reliability that make Yamaha the first choice for live sound applications. The EMX powered mixers are lightweight, only 22lbs. and feature conveniently located handles for maximum carrying comfort. They're also built tough to withstand the rigors of use on the road.

The Yamaha EMX212S is the most affordable model in the EMX powered mixer series. It offers a pair of 200-watt amplifiers per channel that should be more than sufficient for small-to-medium size venues. The EMX212S has the same features as the EMX312SC, except it has less powerful amplifiers and no built-in compressors.

The Yamaha EMX512SC powered mixer is the most powerful of the EMX box mixers, and features a pair of 500-watt amplifiers to ensure that your music or message comes across with full impact, even in large venues. The EMX512SC offers a total of 12 input channels – four for monaural microphone or line input, plus four pairs that can function either as monaural microphone inputs or stereo line inputs – providing you with a versatile mix of input capabilities for a wide range of applications. If you need only microphone inputs you can use up to eight mic channels.

Sound systems large and small can be created using the Yamaha EMX powered mixers. These audio mixers have earned their excellent reputation and will remain the choice of musicians, both professional and amateur, wanting to build a quality sound system on a limited budget.

Yamaha AW1600 and AW2400 Workstations

2006-11-17T13:37:00.000-08:00

The legacy of Yamaha’s groundbreaking AW Series digital audio workstations continues with the introduction of the AW1600 and AW2400.

Both units are fully backward-compatible with prior Yamaha workstations, and have everything you need to record your music anytime, anywhere in compact, road-worthy designs—keeping alive the tradition of reliable, portable and professional music production products.

Yamaha AW1600
Totally Reliable: The AW1600 and AW2400 have been engineered from the ground up to be the best multitrack recorders they can be. So they’re always reliable—no crashes, and no OS updates.

Easily Portable: These complete studio packages are ready to pick up and go anywhere you want to record.

Completely Professional: Mixing, routing and onboard effects are based on the industry-standard Yamaha “0” series digital consoles, so everything has the familiar feel quality of Yamaha.

“Imagine if you had a portable computer that was dedicated to doing just one thing—being the best multitrack recorder it could be,” says Athan Billias, director, Yamaha Corporation of America, Technology Products. “That’s exactly what the new AW series workstations are—dedicated computers designed for recording. Recording on the computer has come a long way, but there is still a need for dedicated hard disk recorders because they are completely portable and totally reliable.”

The AW1600 is currently available, and has been created for the home studio musician, adding many features to the award-winning AW16G while maintaining the same affordability. New features include eight combo inputs (all with Phantom power), USB 2.0 drag-and-drop capabilities for moving files onto your computer, 24-bit recording and a new Pitch Fix algorithm for correcting the pitch of vocal tracks. The 16-track design, Quick Loop Sample function, Hi-Z connection, Guitar and Mastering effects and sample pads have the familiar operation and user-friendly interface from the AW16G, while a powerful new SH3 CPU processor, generous 40 GB hard drive and unrestricted song limit provide endless possibilities for song creation and mix building.

Available travel options include the Yamaha YB01X bag, which can accommodate the AW1600, a laptop, cables and other accessories. Features include rugged wheels, separate compartments, a retractable handle, and a compact design that will easily fit in standard airline overhead compartments.

Yamaha AW2400
The AW2400 is a complete portable studio solution for anyone who is serious about recording and production. And, just like the legendary AW4416, users can record, edit, mix and master without the need for external equipment, but much faster. This new flagship of the AW line includes 24 simultaneous tracks of playback, motorized 100mm faders and the same expansion slot found on Yamaha digital mixng consoles for connecting the AW to professional studio gear.

An updated 24-track recording system (each with up to eight associated virtual tracks) complete with sampling, editing, automation/snapshot and mastering capabilities, retains true 24-bit resolution, and records directly to the internal 40GB hard drive with no song size limitation. Editing is easy with ten user defined function keys and a large, 02R-sized LCD.

You can expand your system, create a live 16-track recording, or interface with external devices with a range of optional I/O interface cards from third-party developers and Yamaha—including the recently-released mLAN MY16 series cards.

Upgrades continue with eight Phantom powered XLR and eight TRS inputs, Insertion inputs on Channels 1 and 2, four dedicated AUX outputs, an integrated Pitch Fix function, and seamless PC integration with USB 2.0 connectivity.

The AW2400 will be available in late October 2005.

“What sets the AW1600 and AW2400 apart from other stand-alone units is their new USB 2.0 capabilities,” adds Billias. “This allows you to drag and drop files to your computer to take advantage of the best of both worlds—stand-alone reliability, and computer software flexibility.”

BOSS Micro BR Recording Studio

2006-10-07T12:41:00.000-07:00

BOSS Micro BR, the ultimate palmtop guitar companion and recording studio. Only slightly larger than an iPod, the tiny-yet-powerful Micro BR is a dream for musicians on the go. The Micro BR offers four simultaneous playback tracks (plus 32 V-Tracks), MP3 compatibility, onboard multi-effects, built-in rhythm patterns, a tuner, USB, an SD Card slot, and more.

BR in Your Pocket or Guitar Case
The BOSS Micro BR is so small you can put it in your pocket! It measures just 136.0 mm x 81.0 mm x 21.4 mm (5-3/8" x 3-3/16" x 7/8"). But even though it’s tiny, the Micro BR packs an entire studio’s worth of features into its tiny case. There are a dozen buttons on its front panel, nine knobs, and even a built-in microphone for quick capture.

Four Tracks & More
At its core, the Micro BR is a four-track studio with four simultaneous playback tracks and two simultaneous record / input tracks. However, there’s more to this recorder than meets the eye. Each of the four main playback tracks also has eight companion V-Tracks (for a total of 32), so you can record take after take after take, then pick your best material for final mixdown.

Drum Machine & Effects Onboard
Given the Micro BR’s small size and low price, you might be surprised to find the next two features onboard: (1) Almost 300 drum patterns are included. Use them for play-along inspiration or even as song foundations. The rhythms don’t consume any of the four playback tracks — they play back independently. (2) A quality multi-effects processor is onboard, including a time-stretch algorithm for changing the tempo of your audio tracks without changing pitch — a great tool for both audio editing and phrase training. The Time Stretch feature can also be used with MP3 data; the Micro BR's Center Cancel feature can be applied to MP3 data as well.

MP3 Compatibility
The Micro BR is capable of loading and playing MP3 files. Load up your favorite guitar hero song via USB, slow down the tempo with no pitch change, and learn all of your favorite licks. You can even use the Micro BR as a standard MP3 player. All of your data is stored on convenient SD (Secure Digital) media found in common electronics shops. The included 128MB card, for example, can record approximately 65 minutes of audio when one mono track is selected.

No guitar case or gig bag should be without the BOSS Micro BR!
