CAD U37 USB Studio Condenser Recording Microphone

  • Large condenser microphone element for warm, rich recordings
  • Cardioid pick-up pattern minimizes background noise and isolates the main sound source
  • Smooth, extended frequency response is excellent for singing, speech and instruments
  • It has 10dB overload-protection switch minimizes distortion from loud sound sources
  • Bass-reduction switch reduces room noise

Record studio-quality audio directly to your computer via USB with the CAD U37 side-address condenser microphone-a great choice for both vocal and instruments as well as for creating podcasts and voiceovers for videos. Compatible with both Windows and Mac OS operating systems, you can simply plug the U37 into your PC and start recording. The U37 has two switches on the front. The first switch allows you to decrease the sensitivity of the microphone so the sound quality is clear for extremely loud sounds. For example, the switch should be in the “-10″ position for loud voices, percussion and other high sound pressure level devices. The “0″ position should be used for normal voices and string instruments. The second switch on the U37 is designed to reduce pickup of deep-bass sounds. The switch should be in the “Normal Bass” mode in most cases. However, if you want to remove wind noise, ventilation noise, or decrease the low frequencies in a recording, the switch should be in the “Bass Reduction” position.Record studio-quality audio directly to your computer via USB with the CAD U37 side-address condenser microphone–a great choice for both vocal and instruments as well as for creating podcasts and voiceovers for videos.

Run Dmc

Repackaged digipak reissue of 1984 groundbreaking debut album featuring extensive sleeve notes & rare photos. Nine tracks including ‘It’s Like That’, ‘Sucker M.C.’s', ‘Hard Times’ & Rock Box. Arista. 2003.The electronic boom-and-clank that marked Run-D.M.C.’s 1983 debut single, “It’s Like That,” expanded to album length early the next year. Still one of the genre’s most entertaining long-players–and undergoing something of a renaissance thanks to Jason Nevins’s remix of “It’s Like That”–Run-D.M.C. showcased two rambunctious voices working at the top of their game (and their lungs), finishing each other’s sentences and laying waste to sucker MCs, all over a minimal pulse: the sound of the first new school of hip-hop. Some peaks: Rock Box, a fierce introduction to their rock/rap fusion, and “Wake Up,” a fantasy in which Ronald Reagan is spotted at a concert by our heroes. It was a dream, they admitted. But Run, D.M.C., and turntable king Jam Master Jay took it to the world. –Rickey Wright

Def Jam Music Group 10th Anniversary

Honor the 10th anniversary for a special couple with our unique circle anniversary clock. Both contemporary and distinctive, this anniversary gift clock is made of solid clear acrylic, accented by a polished silver rim and is truly sophisticated. Features inlaid quartz with roman numerals, 10 years” and 2 doves with connecting ribbon and a heart. Personalize this engraved 10th anniversary clock with couple’s names for a dramatic impression and to create a gift that your recipients will always remember. Measures 7 1/4″ x 7 1/8″ overall.”The Def Jam box tells a story of a sound, a movement, and a lifestyle. Filled with a veritable who’s who of hip-hop (3rd Bass, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Slick Rick, EPMD, Beastie Boys) and some sizzling R&B cuts, this four-CD set is both a greatest-hits package (of the Def Jam/Columbia era) and a shout out to the label that understood the culture–and, more important, knew how to make others get it, too. Perhaps the greatest praise one can give Def Jam is that the label still matters, years after this set was released (see late-1990s efforts by Method Man and Jay-Z, for example). If all your old 12-inches are worn to the groove, then this is a must; but be you old school or new, this collection should be in any hip-hop fan’s collection. –Amy Linden
