Pearlman Church Microphone
A faithful remake of the Stanley Church/MGM microphone from the 1950s, the Church Microphone from Pearlman (www.pearlmanmicrophones.com) was built using the original schematics, and features a refurbished vintage Neumann K47 or M7 capsule, hand-selected 6072 dual-triode (12AY7) vacuum tube and the original Triad transformer—made specifically for Pearlman, after 50 years of not being available. This two-pattern (cardioid/omni) condenser mic is built in the same housing as the company’s popular TM-1. The mic is offered as a $4,500 limited edition and ships with power supply, shock-mount, hand-built Mogami cable and aluminum carrying case.

Tascam 2488neo
Tascam’s (www.tascam.com) 24-track/24-bit workstation has been upgraded to the 2488neo ($1,199). The neo sports a bold new look, new mastering effects and an 80GB hard drive, enough for hours of 44.1kHz/24-bit recording. Like its predecessor, the 2488neo has eight phantom-powered mic inputs, seven effects processors and the same user interface common to all Tascam Portastudios. Other effects include a reverb, multi-effect with guitar amp simulation and up to nine compressors. Mixes can be burned to CD or transferred to computer via the USB 2 jack.
