MA-7A Stereo Micro Monitors
The Cakewalk MA-7A Stereo Reference Monitors are the ideal solution for musicians and computer users who demand the best audio quality possible in a very compact space. The MA-7As are extraordinarily small reference speakers, but are capable of producing incredible sound, uncommon for speakers of such a compact size. These monitor speakers are perfect for desktop use, where space is of the utmost consideration.

The MA-7As feature a built-in Bass Enhancer, which operates on psychoacoustic principles that convert low frequencies into a series of overtones the human ear cannot distinguish from the original low frequencies. This allows the listener to perceive bass frequencies outside of the normal range of the speaker cone, without overdriving the woofer. With the Bass Enhancer, the MA-7As provide a strong low-end in a very compact set of reference speakers. In addition the MA-7A monitor speaker's offer a Sub Out port to connect a subwoofer.

The MA-7As offer conveniently placed Volume and Tone controls. Adjust the volume and tone directly from the front of the speaker. While a large studio setup typically uses a mixer to control output level to the speakers, compact desktop setups can rarely afford the space a mixer requires. This is not an issue with these Cakewalk monitors. You can adjust your output volume and tone on the front of the speaker.

You can also connect 2 different sources directly into the MA-7A speakers, allowing you to listen to audio from any 2 line-level sources. For example, you can have both your computer and your stereo connected to the MA-7As.

You can also plug headphones directly into the MA-7As. Plugging in headphones automatically mutes the speakers, allowing you to mix without disturbing others, and without having to disconnect anything in your setup.

The MA-7As are also magnetically shielded, allowing you to use them in close proximity to your computer monitor without interference.

MXL 4000 Multi-Pattern FET Studio Condenser Microphone
The MXL 4000 Multi-Pattern is a condenser microphone designed around a Class-A discrete FET mic amp specially chosen to match its large diaphragm capsule. The capsule itself has been sized and tuned to provide a silky and airy top end with a full, warm midrange reminiscent of vintage microphones. Hand selected internal components create a sound that enhances both vocal and instrument performances.

Using the polar patterns

To take advantage of the versatility of the MXL 4000's polar patterns, here are some miking tricks of the pros.

Figure-8 Microphones

Figure-8 mics pick up sound equally well from front and rear. So, if you're looking for a rich vocal sound with the added ambiance of room tone to add depth and spaciousness, use the figure-8 pattern and have your vocalist sing into one side while the other picks up the reflections of the room. Only do this if you have a good-sounding room. You can also use the figure-8 pattern for isolation from other instruments. For example, if you're miking drums and want to give the hi-hat it's own track, position the MXL 4000 so that the side of the figure-8, where rejection is greatest, is pointing towards the snare while the front or rear of the mix faces the hat. Do the same if you're recording a singer-guitarist who's playing an acoustic while singing. You need two figure-8 mics for this one. Position the vocal mic so that the side is facing the guitar, and the guitar mic so that the side of the figure-8 points towards the singer's mouth. Now both singer and guitar are isolated. Again, make sure you do this in a room that sounds good, because the back side of the mic will be picking up the room.

Omni

In many cases, the least used, but best-sounding of all the polar patterns. Omni has very little off-axis coloration, which means that sounds entering the sides of the mic sound just as good as sounds entering the front. If you have a great-sounding room, by all means, try omni before anything else. Omni gives your recordings the impression of being in the room with the sound. It also works very well as the "mid" mic in Mid-Side stereo recording.

Cardioid

This is the most used pattern. It's basically point and shoot, but keep in mind that you can use it's rear-rejection to your advantage, or by turning the mic slightly away from the source, you can use it's off-axis response to tame sharp transients. Aside from straight-ahead recording, most people use the cardioid pattern as the "mid" mic in Mid-Side stereo recording.

Requires phantom power.
