Innox IVA 08 Jr. Basic Broadcast Microphone Stand
The Innox IVA 08 Jr. Basic is a compact and space-saving broadcast microphone stand that simply but securely clamps to the edge of a desk or table. Since it doesn’t come including a cable, the stand can be used with either an XLR or a USB mike and can be swiftly positioned by hand, making it an ideal bit of kit for podcasters, gamers, Youtubers and live-streamers.

Studio monitors sound their best when the in-built tweeter is pointed directly at your ears. That’s where the Innox IVA MON C1 desktop studio monitor stands come in. Featuring a simple yet elegant design, these ever-handy bits of kit not only raise your monitors, but tilt them back for the perfect angle.
Devine PRO 4000 Headphones

This is a fair pair of headphones, perfect for producers taking their first steps as a DJ, or as a spare pair for your home studio. You never know when they might come in handy!
Cordial EM3FM Elements XLR Cable
Whether you want to connect a microphone to a mixer or a mixer to a speaker, an XLR cable fitted with one male and one female plug like the Cordial EM3FM is always useful. This 3-metre long model has been made using quality parts to ensure optimal performance and clean balanced audio signal transfer and, since it’s been properly shielded, hum, buzz and other noise is out of the question!
Nichiban Gaffa Tape
Whether they’re on their way to a gig, the studio, or rehearsal, the producer in your life is unlikely to leave the house without a roll of gaffa tape. This Nichiban Gaffa Tape is easy to rip and just as easy to remove without leaving any residue behind. It’s the ideal gift for musicians, DJs and producers!
Konig & Meyer Microphone Clip
Use this rubber microphone clip to mount a microphone with a diameter of 17 up to 21 mm. Thanks to the rubber material, not only are vibrations absorbed before they reach the microphone, which keeps your signal clean, but optimum grip is also ensured. Furthermore, the screw allows the pivot to be adjusted, which is handy with heavier microphones as the clip is more liable to sink forward. Simply tighten the screw and your mic will stay put!
