Unbiased and critical studio and home recording equipment reviews
Browse the growing recording studio equipment area with reviews on home and studio equipment ranging from mic pre amplifiers, compressors, monitors and just about anything used in the recording studio.
All of the recording equipment reviews are unbiased as we don't directly take advertising from any manufacturer. Any advertising on the site is placed by a third party or links to a general equipment shop, never to any products directly which means that we are not influenced other than by our ears. In addition to equipment reviews we are starting to expand the video shoot out's where equipment is blind tested by a number of established record producers to make sure that every one has an open mind.
Recording equipment & music shop
Since the site started back in 1999 we have gradually narrowed down people and companies that we have confidence in putting forward.
For new recording equipment we have found US on line retailer zZounds to give a very good service to producers and musicians and offers a genuine returns police. This is very important if say you buy some speakers and they just don't sound right in your room. They also will price match any genuine offer, so they get a solid thumbs up from us.
For used sound recording equipment we mostly have experience with UK brokers so are interested in hearing about your experience with US based brokers though these brokers are international. We've listed off the brokers that we trust here.
We do receive a small commission if you buy new recording equipment which helps keep the site expanding with the broadband videos. Find out more about the site and why we do it here.
