Some studio bits F/S - QuikLok desk, absorbers etc

IanSavage · December 2015

Selling off all of my recording bits pending a move abroad - first up's a set of Auralex Aural Expander isolation pads and foam 'baffles', plus 12 30cm x 30cm foam wall absorbers - buy the lot and I'll throw in an adjustable pop shield for nowt!

The Expander kit features four small, two medium and one large foam absorber (to fit around the rear of microphones in a live or studio environment to reduce spill) as well as six mic stand isolation platforms (i.e. enough to do two three-leg mic stands) to eliminate stage rumble and/or minimise kick drum vibration getting into drum overheads.

Auralex decription here: http://www.auralex.com/product/aural-expanders/ - mine are all in excellent condition.

I've also got a set of twelve 5cm thick foam absorbers for wall-mounting on 'reflection points' (http://www.gikacoustics.com/early-reflection-points/) to improve your mixing environment - obviously a mere twelve won't transform your home studio into Abbey Road but you'd be very pleasantly surprised by the difference! These have been previously used so they've got traces of adhesive on the rears but the fronts look spot-on. £50 for all of the absorption bits plus whatever postage.

Pretty much the most cost-effective means of getting more professional result from any semi-pro recording setup - also selling my QuikLok studio desk which is a very good means of getting everything in place for mixing.

This is a black-coated steel frame incorporating two monitor stands and a 6U rack. I've installed a 2U rack drawer and bodged a hole in the back of it to hold power strips to keep those out of the way (would obviously be included, as well as a 4-way surge-protected power strip).

The actual desk space isn't anchored to the frame so if you needed something bigger than the minimal setup I've had (and/or don't like my purple leopardprint ) a trip to Ikea would sort you right out - none of the equipment shown is included, by the way, just left it there to give an idea of scale (although most of it WILL probably end up for sale if you see anything that interests you ).

There's a bit of rust on the inside of the tubing which you can see from the pictures - it could probably be removed with a bit of wire wool or something if it bothered you, but the frame is sturdy as hell. £60 if you can collect, I really can't be doing with posting this - take the lot for a ton!
