Found on Reverb: Handmade Gear to Bring Some Flair to Your Home Studio

One of the most delightful things about browsing the pages of Reverb is finding something that you didn’t know you needed. Maybe it’s a handmade percussive instrument or a 3D-printed synth rack. Whatever the case may be, there are pages and pages of unique pieces of gear just waiting to be found.

Being that Reverb is home to a lot of smaller shops specializing in unique, handmade, or one-of-a-kind gear, we wanted to take a minute today to highlight and celebrate some particular pieces that would serve to spruce up any home studio.

Subkick-01 Low Frequency Microphone by Dr. Alien Smith
$88.99

Subkick mics are useful for catching especially low bass frequencies from bass amps and kick drums, which means you can get extra low-end punch in your final mix. When recording, it’s common to try and make your own DIY version of a subkick mic, and while that can be effective in some cases, it’s often not perfect. The Subkick-01 Low Frequency Microphone is a well-made, high-quality, and reliable alternative for musicians who want that extra low-end punch without having to figure it out themselves.

Custom Recording Light by Out of the Blue Shed
$119 - $209

While gear is often the main priority when outfitting a practice space or studio, aesthetics should definitely be a consideration. Retired recording engineer and producer Walter Morgan crafts these budget-friendly signs in Texas, with long-lasting LED strips to let light shine through more effectively than the originals.
