Updated with a brand new look, the Shure SRH440A closed-back, over-ear studio headphones provide high-quality audio reproduction and effective noise isolation for home recording, studio monitoring, and DJ mixing. Lightweight and sturdy, the headphones can also fold down for easy storage and transportation in the included carrying bag.
The SRH440A have large 40mm drivers that deliver clear, detailed audio with a wide frequency response of 10 Hz to 22 kHz. The closed-back, circumaural design helps reduce ambient noise, and the thick replaceable earpads yield long-lasting comfort. The headband is adjustable and generously cushioned to ensure a pleasing fit on a range of head sizes.
The coiled, single-sided cable allows a variable amount of slack, resists tangles, and can be detached for easy replacement. It has a bayonet clip to keep it securely attached to the earcup. The gold-plated 3.5mm TRS mini plug and 1/4" adapter enable compatibility with MP3 players and mobile devices as well as DJ mixers and audio interfaces.
The Auray MS-5230F Tripod Microphone Stand with Fixed Boom features durable, steel construction. The 31.5" boom arm allows you to angle the mic however you need it. An ergonomic twist-action clutch helps adjust the height of the stand, while the reinforced tripod base and nonslip feet keep it firmly and sturdily in place. The Auray MS-5230F mic stand collapses for easy transport.
The Enova NXT True Mold XLR Microphone Cable (16.4') is a flexible and reliable cable built for connecting mics to mixers, preamps, audio interfaces, and recorders. True Mold technology fully integrates the cable and connectors, providing strain relief that withstands a higher force than conventionally manufactured XLR cables to ensure outstanding strength and durability that stands up to the rigors of live stage and studio applications. This is a weather and Moisture Resistant Cable.
Enova True Mold cables are made from 24 AWG wire with a 98% copper spiral outer shield that makes the cable resistant to EMI and RFI noise. The Swiss-made EnovaNxt connectors are gold-plated to provide a high level of connectivity, and all the solder connections are protected by heat-shrink tubes. The modern and slick design of the body allows for enhanced handling and the tapered design puts an end to drooping cables.
Great for recording in untreated rooms, the Auray RF-5P-R Five-Panel Reflection Filter isolates your microphone from its surrounding environment to minimize distracting noises and diffuse unwanted acoustic reflections. The five, multilayered panels with perforations and high-density acoustic foam combine to absorb ambient noise without adding coloration to your sound, enhancing the clarity and presence of your voice for professional-sounding podcasts, voiceovers, and vocal recordings at home or in the studio.
The RF-5P-R is compatible with most microphone stands and it has integrated feet for standalone desktop recording. A sliding bracket allows you to mount any condenser, dynamic, or USB microphone and easily adjust the depth of the mic's position inside the filter for precise placement. The panels are made of sturdy, yet lightweight plastic and fold up to a tight ring for convenient storage and travel.
- Five adjustable panels, each with a fold-down top panel enable you to configure the filter to meet your acoustic needs. Spread the panels to form a filter wall for miking speaker cabinets, or fold them to create a narrow, 300° enclosure for maximum isolation and dry, clean vocals.
- The panels feature a stylish black finish with red accents.
- The high-density acoustic foam absorbs acoustic reflections and minimizes room ambience.
- The perforated screens diffuse sound as it passes through the shield, preventing sound reflections from bouncing off surfaces and back into the microphone.

Universal Audio Apollo Solo Reviews
Is the bests interface for music production 🔥🔥🔥 Recommend 100%
The best interface
Loving it so far!
This audio interface replaced my Universal Audio Volt 2, which was a great interface, but I wanted a little more. This along with the bundled software and plug-ins has been a game changer for me. Once I get a little more comfortable with the UA experience, I'll likely be stepping up to an Apollo Twin.
