Overview

Professional recording made simple.

From the professional DAW operator to the absolute beginner, The R˜DE To Recording System is the one-box solution for the computer owner in need of a full digital audio recording setup. The system ships complete with the award winning R˜DE NT1-A (the world's quietest large diaphragm condenser) a pair of EVENT ALP-5 biamp-powered studio monitors, and a PreSonus INSPIRE firewire audio interface. Steinberg cubase LE and SONY Acid XMC recording software and a PRO PAK plug-in CD are all included. Also included are premium quality 10' RCA cables, a 25' mic cable, a desktop tripod mic stand, and a comprehensive setup manual allowing even the unskilled novice to be up and running in minutes.

NT1-A microphone
The NT1-A has become an industry standard providing the warmth, extended dynamic range, clarity and high SPL capability usually only found with some of the most expensive microphones. This redesigned version of R˜DE's classic NT-1 has only 5 dBA of self-noise. Finished in durable satin nickel, the NT1-A is supplied with a shock mount and zip pouch.

ALP 5
Active Linear Phase 5 time - and phase-corrected biamplified monitors redefine excellence in small-footprint studio reference systems. The molded baffle's time and phase-corrected design incorporates waveguide technology to give the ALP5 superb stereo imaging and exceptional midrange clarity. The large diameter low-air-restriction bass port (above) helps the ALP5 deliver maximum low frequency response. What you'll hear is exceptional midrange clarity”a function of the time-corrected baffle design; superb stereo imaging”the result of precise phase alignment between the low and high frequency drivers; bigger low end and louder playback than you believed possible from such compact monitors”thanks to the precise physics of the system.
