Hardware Reviews is where we share honest, hands-on reviews of audio equipment we either own ourselves or have managed to get hold of for testing. From studio hardware and outboard gear to interfaces, microphones, monitors and other tools used in professional audio, the aim is to give a practical view of how the equipment actually performs in the real world.

These reviews are based on genuine use rather than specifications alone. We look at what we like, what we do not, where the equipment works best and whether we think it represents good value. The goal is to give producers, engineers and studio owners a straightforward opinion before they decide whether a piece of gear is right for them.
