We’ll be the first to admit that live sound gear isn’t the sort of thing that usually gets us excited. PA systems and home studio mixers aren’t the sexiest bits of gear you’ll ever buy, but they’re undeniably a core part of the musician’s experience. Here’s something you can get excited about though - Guitar Center is currently offering ginormous savings of up to 40% off live sound gear.
The sale includes PA systems, mixers, microphones, monitoring, wireless systems, and loads more. You haven’t got long to take advantage of the deals though as the sale ends on 03/26, so act fast if you see something you like!
We’ve had a look through the sale already to see what’s in it, and picked some of our favorite items for you here. If you’re looking for a new mixer, whether it’s for a rehearsal space or a home studio, the Yamaha MG10XUF has got an awesome $70 discount at the moment. It’s a ruggedly built bit of kit that features 24 built-in effects covering everything from reverb to pitch shifting. Four Yamaha D-PRE preamps ensure that your sources are captured with clarity, and it’s also got a built-in audio interface for recording.
Next up we spied an excellent discount on the NUX C-5RC wireless guitar system. With a huge 20% reduction on the regular price taking it well below the $150 mark, it’s a great entryway into wireless systems if you’ve never used on before. We love that it uses the 5.8GHz band which is typically less busy than the more common 2.4GHz one, so less chance of any interference. Its simple plug-and-play setup also means it's a breeze to set up if you’ve never used a wireless system before.
Our final pick will be a shoo-in for live sound engineers, with the Digital Reference DRDK7 7-Piece Drum Mic Kit seeing a nice $33 discount to drop the price below the $200 mark. It’s insane value for money for so many microphones, and with kick, snare, and tom mics taken care of alongside two condenser overhead microphones, it's ideal for miking up the kit at your local venue. It even comes with a handy carry case with foam cutouts to ensure you keep everything neat and tidy once you’ve set them down.
