Spector Euro RST Series Basses Spector Musical Instruments has introduced the Euro RST (“ roasted ”) series basses . The latest additions to the Euro series , these four- and five-string models bring Spector ’ s classic design into a new era with updated tone woods , enhanced electronics , and a fresh palette of exclusive stain options .
Neck-through construction has long been central to the Spector design , and the 24-fret Euro RST enhances this concept with a three-piece roasted maple neck and fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays , which give this design a distinct look while also offering better stability and rigidity . This tempered tone wood is paired with a uniquely-figured flame maple top and empress wood back , for a visual presence , resonance , and lightweight , balanced performance .
For electronics , the Euro RST models feature Aguilar Super Double pickups and OBP-2 preamps for an added mid-range focus . These are the first Euro models to feature Super Double pickups . These hum-cancelling pickups feature two rows of Alnico V magnets to provide a dynamic , growly tone . When paired with the OBP- 2 , players can cut and boost frequencies to sculpt their ideal tone .
Audix A231 Studio Vocal Microphone Audix has introduced its latest large-diaphragm studio vocal microphone , the A231 . Sporting the distinctive gold-plated brass band also seen on the SCX25A instrument mic , the A231 can be used for lead and backing vocals , spoken word and voiceover applications , and acoustic instrument miking with its clean , powerful sound .
Inside the microphone is a 33mm , true condenser capsule featuring a precision-tensioned diaphragm with gold deposition all the way to its far edges . This produces an effective diaphragm area approximately 25 % larger than that of a typical large-diaphragm condenser mic , and results in a sound that is both neutral and rich , according to the company . A cardioid pickup pattern offers a predictable proximity effect and enhanced off-axis rejection .
The capsule feeds circuitry that is ultra-quiet and an activedriven shield protects the signal path from interference and capacitive coupling . An internal shock mount nearly eliminates touch noise , enabling the A231 to be used across a wide variety of environments without the need for an external shock mount .
