Aardvark have an enviable reputation in professional circles for the quality of their AardSync studio word clock generators, and the design of their Direct Pro soundcard range also places great emphasis on sound quality, going so far as to encase critical components such as the audio converters in an electrically screened box to keep external interference at bay. This perfectionist approach has been retained in the latest addition to the range, but the Q10's specification is more ambitious than those of its stablemates.

Combining rich, natural sound characteristics with a touch of vintage vibe, the NTK brings you the best of the classic and modern sonic worlds. The mic's gentle presence boost makes everything sound good, especially vocals, and the tone really opens up as you hit the capsule with more level.

The Shure SM58 mic is legendary for its uncanny ability to withstand abuse that would destroy any other microphone. The Shure SM58 has not only helped to define the sound of rock vocals on stage, it's also been used as a hammer to build stages and gone on to perform flawlessly later at the gig. Using a club's house system? You'll be singing through an SM58. And in the studio? Daniel Lanois always uses the SM58 or Beta 58 on Bono's vocals.
The Shure SM58 mic is world-renowned for its distinctive upper-midrange presence peak that ensures an intelligible, lively sound. Perfectly fits a performer's hand, balanced for total comfort during long gigs. Frequency response is a smooth, vocal-tailored 50Hz-15kHz, and the price is a bargain considering its life expectancy. |

Probably more than 90% of the snare drums and a good chunk of the guitar cabinets and vocal tracks recorded in the last several decades owe their sound to the SM57. Pick one up, and you'll find out why more live sound professionals and seasoned studio engineers swear by the Shure SM57 than any other microphone on the planet.
