For most of us in the music industry, Dave Hill is a very familiar name. Through the years, Dave has been the man behind many innovative and exciting product designs for various manufacturers – amazing analog compressors, EQs, and more, that have all become studio standards. Then there’s CraneSong, Dave’s high-end company, dedicated to manufacturing the finest pro audio gear, including the Trakker, Avocet, HEDD, and Spider, as well as the Phoenix plug-in.
Now the tireless Dave Hill has launched a brand-new company: Dave Hill Designs. And we’re proud to say that Sweetwater is the exclusive dealer for these groundbreaking new products! Two new products have already been released. The first is the incredible Europa 1 microphone preamp, featuring selectable impedance and a unique Speed control for tailoring the response of the preamp. Plus, Europa 1 offers even- and odd-harmonics controls for shaping the tone, as well as many other features. You’ve got to check out this flexible, stellar-sounding preamp.
Then there’s RA, a new TDM plug-in for the Mac that takes compression to an entirely new level. You’re given tremendous, extended control over many aspects of your sound and over how the processor works. There are controls for adding rich harmonic content to the sound, for shaping the compressor’s response, for preserving detail, and so much more. If you think you’ve seen all that a compressor can do, trust us, this one is going to show you a plethora of new tricks!
So, welcome Dave Hill Designs! We’re excited to be the exclusive distributor of these amazing new products. And we can’t wait to see what Dave comes up with next! Give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call or visit Sweetwater.com to learn more.
