Rode NT2

Rode are an Australian company who make high-quality microphones for not-a-lot of money. The NT2 and it's cheaper brother the NT1 have made an extremely good name for themselves, and have consequently found a niche within the project and main studio market, while being affordable enough to be available to home studio users too.

Harbeth Expression! Monitors

Harbeth have had a long association with the BBC, and have made many custom speaker designs for them. When they set about designing a pair of near-field studio monitors for the home and project studio, the DPM1 Expression range was the result.

My pair are passive, but there are active versions of these available, as well as the "pro" passive version which includes a tweeter overload protection system. Also available is a smaller version, and a subwoofer as well.

HHB have their own branded version of these monitors made by Harbeth as well, although with speaker cone in a more HHB-styled purple, rather than pink.

Shure SM58

Ubiquitous, really.
