The TM1 is a 6mm pre-polarized condenser microphone that features an omni-directional polar pattern. It also has an extremely flat frequency range, from 20Hz – 25Hz, which makes it the excellent mic for sound engineers, sound companies, and even for recording enthusiasts. It comes neat and nice in a four-stage brass body and capsule housing in an elegant nickel plate finish. With the TM1 stand-mount condenser microphone, you need not worry about breaking in case it accidentally falls or bumps – it is equipped with shock absorbent O-rings as well as a heavy-duty snap to fit mic clip.

The TM1 is an omni-directional microphone. It means that its response is generally considered as a perfect sphere in three dimensions, which means it picks up sound evenly from all directions. For other stand-mount condenser microphones, that is virtually impossible. This is because the body of the TM1 Test and Measurement Microphone is uniquely small, allowing sound even of the highest frequencies to be heard clearly. Since  the TM1 is an omni-directional condenser microphone, it adds very little to the original sound, making it the “purest” microphone available today.

Being an omni microphone is perhaps the greatest feature of the TM1. By picking up sound virtually from all directions evenly, with a circular pattern, you are assured that what you get is sound in its rawest form. That makes the TM1 Test and Measurement Microphone of Audix an excellent choice for symphonic music recording because the audience, as well the entire hall reverberation, will be picked up equally along with the music, providing nothing but an accurate representation of a musical performance done in a concert hall. It is exactly these highly accurate pick up characteristics that make the TM1 the best stand-mount condenser microphone for pro recording both for studio and live performance.

Who would believe that for such an affordable price you will get all these amazing features and more – it also includes an innovative acoustic foam windscreen that threads seamlessly into the microphone housing for secure and stable operation and a shockmount adapter. So what are you waiting for? Get the Audix TM1 Test and Measurement Microphone today!

The extensive research and development efforts of Alesis plus the complete DM10 sound module finally gave birth to the flagship drum set of Alesis, the DM10 Pro Kit. This new drum-sound module lets players load new sound sets through a USB connection from their own stations.

An industry giant unveils compact MIDI devices for music makers on-the-go!

The new nanoSeries devices of Korg are particularly designed to meet the needs of artists who are always on the move – making music anywhere, anytime, without compromising the control department. Its range of MIID controllers features three compact products – the nanoKEY, the nanoPAD, and the nanoKONTROL.

Expected to be tough, the nanoKEY is no ordinary keyboard – it is a 25-note, velocity-sensitive model. Aside from being very handy in recording chords and melodies, the nanoKEY can also be used to send MIDI data, further expanding its power. It has an Octave Shift function that provides immediate access to the entire MIDI note range. There are pitch and modulation buttons provided as well, allowing your performances the kind of expression natural to any controller, regardless of its size.

The Korg nanoKEY is also very small. In fact, you can put it right in front of your laptop, your recording station, on a recording console, or wherever you need a versatile control over your virtual instrument or DJ software. But despite its size, the nanoKEY comes with several benefits when it comes to functionality, but its intuitive layout makes operation a breeze for any user.

The nanoPAD has 12 highly responsive trigger pads (including an X/Y pad) that are perfect both for laptop DJs and drum programming because of its roll and flam functions that provides unique interface ideal for realistic drum programming. It is USB powered, and is also capable of sending both notes and MIDI control data.

The nanoPAD also has a Chord Trigger function that lets you enter chords onto a single pad, which helps you to make the most of the work surface as you create. The pad also makes a great interface for soloing or muting tracks because it can transmit control change messages. You can turn objects on and off, or trigger clips during your live performances.

Finally, Korg wraps the MIDI bundle with the nanoKONTROL. It offers 9 faders, 9 knobs, 18 switches plus a full transport section for expansive control. That means that is the perfect DAW and plug-in control, although it also has a note input mode that will help you lay down your next big groove.

For each of the four programmable scenes that the nanoKONTROL offers, you have the freedom to set the controllers any way you need them. That means that you can send a total of 168 different MIDI Control Change messages and MIDI notes using the switches. Each of the 6 transport buttons can send either MIDI Control Change messages or MMC messages to control functions like start, stop, loop, or record on your DAW software.

Thanks to the Korg MIDI Bundle, taking full control over the quality of music that you create is now possible.
