[Aluminum] Wow! Just wow! I bought my Aston Spirit, reaching out from AKG, Blue, and Neumann, to a new mic brand after such outpouring love in reviews of the Aston Origin. I needed a multi-pattern mic that was versatile. The box seems inexpensive and it did require a separate shockmount. (It has one built-in but it mounts the mic directly to the stand. Not terrible but not versatile.) The Spirit was amazing for male and female vocals of alternative, pop, classical, and operatic vocals. I tracked my acoustic guitar and it was astounding, as well as for my violin and cello. I would say this could stand up to most upper echelon mics in versatility and clarity. Even as a room mic the Spirit sounded stellar! It was perfect for small room recording, large space studio, ambient sound recording, and close-up instrumental recording. I love using the Spirit. It is truly a favorite of mine as microphones go.

[Arca-Type] This cable comes in handy for playback on music videos and for sending audio during a Mardi Gras Parade when cabling to a speaker isn't an option.

[Aluminum] Works as listed. Made well. Packaged well.

[Arca-Type] I got the SES to convert the unbalanced signal from my turntable into a balanced signal I could run into my studio monitors. It works perfectly for that. I also like that it has input and output level controls. This means I can adjust the volume coming out of my monitors simply by lowering the input or output level on the SES. Very handy, because it saves me having to walk around behind my monitors every time I want to adjust the volume.

Would definitely recommend if you need to do a similar conversion. I tried some adapters first, but the signal was very weak and thin. This is the worth the money.

A+ service from B&H too. It shipped fast, and I got frequent tracking updates.

[0.255 lb] This is my second pad, the first one lasted 10 years before replacing it. Smooth surface, great for finesse mousing and hand-palm comfort. Customizable lighting is nice too.

[Yes] Very sturdy setup for the studio. It's plenty large for the iMac, keyboard, and mouse. iMac is very secure with the bar. Pair it with a rolling stand that can take the weight and you've got yourself a great tethering setup in studio. We use it with the Tether Tools low boy rolling stand. Works fantastic. You'll also need the Kupo ball head adapter. Of all the various options and designs out there for attaching an iMac to a stand, this one is my favorite, since it also gives space for the keyboard and mouse. It's also one of the more cost effective options. Very happy with it.

[Screw Knob] I was amazed at the sound coming out of these very affordable speakers. Plug 'n' Play on my old Win 7 computer. I didn't know the internet could carry such a wide spectrum of sound.

[Screw Knob] Quick shipping and works great thank you.

[Aluminum] I just recently purchased a motorized slider (with these arms), and it provides great stability on my carbon fiber Neewer tripod (which is a lot smaller than my larger/heavy duty Ravelli tripod).

[0.255 lb] The stability arms are the perfect solution to having to carry 2 tripods or multiple light or c-stands
