Here's a ripper PA bundled deal - EV, Soundcraft and AudioTechnica
We love deals, as you've probably worked out by now. Sometimes we get some tasty ones put together by our suppliers - the importers of all this fine gear, and sometimes the deals are dreamt up by the manufacturers themselves. Usually though, this means that console is exactly what you want, but the speakers aren't quite what you're looking for - or vice versa.
BUT this time we've put the deal together, which means it's absolutely the best best gear we can squeeze into a price, no matter what the brand. We think this one is going to be very popular with bands, and some venues/entities that typically showcase bands, whether it be a school, PA rental company, beer garden, you get the picture.
Here's the deal: $7,854.00 worth of PA system (at RRP), for just $4920
Healthy discount you say? Yes - there's no use beating around the bush here. We've already done the hard work. You get 2 x EV powered subwoofers, 2 x EV powered top boxes, a Soundcraft 20ch mixer with effects, a couple of height adjustable distance poles to go between the subs and the mid-high boxes, PLUS we've thrown in a 4pc drum mic kit to really get the value for money ticking up.
Gear list:
2 x EV ELX118P powered subwoofers
2 x EV ELX112P powered 1000w 12" speakers
2 x K&M 21336 adjustable distance rods
1 x Soundcraft MFXi20 mixing console with effects
1 x AudioTechnica MB-DK4 drum mic kit (4 piece)
Not to put too fine a point on it, we are limited to just five (5) of these packages, as that's how many mixers we have allocated. The ripper Soundcraft mixer is set to be refreshed/updated/superseeded, and we've made sure there are some for these packages, before they all disappear.
So, just to reiterate - the RRP of this PA bundle is $7854, but we're letting them go for just $4920. Strictly while stock lasts. First mouse gets the cheese in this case.
Read full postNew packaging, same K&M stands (and some explanation)
Slight shock when our latest truckload of K&M stands rolled up yesterday: new packaging for a few of the models. Now, it's not like we're scared of a little change every now and then, more like we're scared of a big change. But on closer inspection, our favourite microphone and speaker stands are still made in Germany. They still come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defect, AND we're still keeping heaps in stock to ensure (i) you don't need to wait when you desperately need a stand for the weekend's gig, and (ii) we're buying in bulk to make sure we are able to hand you over the best price possible on genuine K&M stands designed and manufactured in Germany.
And talking about K&M...
Which stand is best suited for stage vocals and studio vocal recording?
That could be easily answered by saying "K&M - for reasons explained above", but even within the Konig & Meyer range, there are quite a few vocal mic stands.
Straight: These boom-less stands are great on stage if you don't play a guitar or other instrument. Also handy in the studio for vocal recording. Round bases mean less chance of tripping over a tripod leg. Our top choice is the 260B, as it's got a very heavy base for stability, and the circular base (pictured) has some nice shock absorbing rubber all the way around to stop those nasty vibrations causing low end rumble on your recording (or stage). A slightly cheaper alternative is the lightweight 260/1B, but spend the extra few $$ if you can on the 260B - it's definitely worth it.
Boom Stands: Three models stand out here. 21070 is the budget model, straight boom (fixed length) and ideal for light duties. 210/6B has a heavier cast base, and so is well suiter to support heavier microphones (ie, studio microphones), or more robust stage use. The 'pro' model is 210/9B, featuring telescopic boom - allows you to fit into a tighter space - and a super strong T-bar swivel tightening mechanism (pictured). 210/9B is a great choice for either studio, or heavy duty live use but it's a bit more expensive than 210/6B.
Overhead boom stand: to get your overhead microphones seriously up and over the drum kit (safely), choose 21021.
And while we're at it,
Lightweight Speaker Stand: Far-and-away our most popular speaker stand is 21435. BUT if you're searching for an aluminium (lightweight) version, have a look at 21436.
Remember that Factory Sound is Australia's largest reseller of genuine K&M stands for stage or studio use. Microphone stands, speaker stands, and plenty of accessories (including the ever-popular 160/2 stage drink holder). We'll always make sure you get looked after with the right model to suit your needs, and the best possible price in Australia.

A lovely not-so-little price adjustment to brighten our day. Especially bouyant after knocking England out of the World Cup, our friends in the Konig & Meyer factory were sitting around with a few celebratory steins of Germany's finest, watching more vuvuzela on youtube. After a good session, they called the Australian importer of K&M stands, and demanded we get looked after.
"Um..." said Tony at Australia's K&M HQ. "How about we just drop the RRP across the whole range, and then everyone can be happy?"
"Ausgezeichnet!" exclaimed the conference callers from Wertheim. We think they're happy enough with that. And so are we.

We are still offering excellent bulk-purchase pricing and our existing trade purchaser discounts will also still apply. Even better news, we've got loads in stock - just like usual.
Should you need something that is not on our website, double check a model number via K&M's own website, and we'll make sure you get hooked up with a great price.
