Thinking of getting an Apollo interface? Until the end of June, Universal Audio are shipping them with a free Thunderbolt card- perfect for connecting to that new Mac Pro...

Free microphone not enough? How about getting some money back on your old digital desk against a new PreSonus one?

How it works:-

This is offer is running until the end of June so don't delay!

Universal Audio are running a rather nice offer from now until the end of June- purchasers of one of their UAD2 Octo cards, either the Core, Custom or Ultimate, will receive a voucher for $750 to spend on more plugins!

Thinking of upgrading your mixer? PreSonus are making that decision a bit easier for the next month. They're giving away a free PRM-1 measurement microphone with any purchase of either the StudioLive 24AI or the StudioLive 32AI.

The lovely folks at SE Electronics have given us a Magneto and Isolation pack to give away to one lucky visitor! From now until the end of the month, anybody visiting us at our showroom in Birmingham can register for the competition and, at the end of the month, we'll pick one lucky winner to receive the new microphone!

Now that the website is launched, we're all up and running fully! Here's a big thanks to everyone for all the support we've seen so far getting our new shop opened.

We've a lot of products that we are selling up on the site, but there's still a lot to do... A short list of the other brands we've got but haven't listed yet; Brauner, Retro Instruments, Antelope Audio, BAE, Burl, Dangerous Music, Ear Trumpet Labs, Elysia, Great River, Cartec Audio, Chandler, Empirical Labs, Telefunken, Sound Toys, Earthworks, Little Labs, Kush, Pearl Microphones, Pelonis, Cloud, ADL, Crane Song, Dave Hill Designs, FMR, Helios, Neve, Peluso, Sherman Filters, Wes Audio... We'll be working over the next few weeks to get these all live and active. We're hoping to get some key bits and pieces up here that we'll be having a play around with too.

As is always the case, you can call or email us to arrange a demonstration or purchase or just to give us some feedback on what we're doing and other events that you'd like to see organised.

We are pleased to announce that our showroom and web shop will be officially open starting from March 31st 2014. To mark the occasion we shall be running an exciting range of demo days with some of our suppliers.
