Greetings from snow-bound Boulder, CO! Winter has arrived early. Its a snow day for the kids, and even for some of the grownups around here. Perhaps some Halloween sledding, maybe a nice hot toddy...
The recent AES Convention in NYC was one of the best in years. Much of the focus was on smaller companies, as many of the big companies downsized their presence or failed show up altogether. Which meant more traffic for us! The most exciting part for us was getting to debut THREE new products, which we're proud to announce here:
THE m103 CHANNEL STRIP
Our all new channel strip. We took the m101 preamplifier and added a commensurately musical, transparent sounding 3 band EQ and a open, sweet sounding optical compressor circuit. This was a big hit at AES, enough so to win itself two show awards, the 'PAR Excellence' Award and the 'MIX Certified Hit' Award. The m103 will be available soon!
THE SPACEBAR MODULAR MICROPHONE POSITIONING SYSTEM
Our Spacebar microphone positioner line expands into several new configurations including: Surround Tree, Decca Tree, Bluemlien and AB stereo. As well, all individual components are available a la carte, so it is possible to build a virtually limitless range of
microphone holding structures to meet any need. The best way explore this system is by downloading and reading the spacebar manual (pdf), which contains all the juicy technical information. These systems will be available for purchase from our dealers or on our website soon!
THE m501 500 SERIES MICROPHONE PREAMPLFIER MODULE
The 500 series outboard revolution continues to grow. So a version of the our m101 in this configuration was a natural step. Grace Design transparency and detail for your 500 series rack. The m501 is in production and available everywhere!
Its been quite a year at Grace Design. The recession hasn't been fun for anybody, but in many ways we've been just too busy to notice. We remain driven, strong, and thoroughly committed to creating the finest audio equipment and hardware possible, while remaining ever thankful for our esteemed colleagues, customers and fans who continue to inspire us to do so.
Thanks for reading.
