If you don’t know by now….ARC LOVES our gear, especially our analog gear! We invite you to nerd out with us over a couple of our most recent acquisitions! 🤓🎚️🎛️

1. Otari MTR-10: A 2 channel 1/4 inch professional reel-to-reel tape recorder known for its high-quality audio recording and editing capabilities. It features a 3-head configuration, microprocessor control, and a servo-controlled tape transport. Key specifications include tape speeds of 7.5, 15, and 30 ips making this thing an analog lovers dream come true! Perfect for adding that extra sauce & tape warmth to your digital recordings!

2. Mica-Sonic Bongos: Extremely rare battery powered electronic drums made in Japan in the 1970’s. Includes five e-drums in total: two congas, two bongos, and a wood block. A “mute” control on each one toggles a reverb sound on and off. You might not think you know this set of electronic drums, but rest assured, you do. Depending on your age, you know them from one of two places, Ann Peebles’ “I Can’t Stand the Rain,” the majestic title track of her 1973 album. Or, if you’re a little younger, it’s all thanks to Missy Elliott’s “The Rain (Supa D**a Fly).” That 1997 track prominently sampled the electronic drum beat and hook from Peebles’ classic. Also producer can be spotted playing one on the .npr

3. Yamaha P2200 Power Amplifier: a professional power amplifier known for its robust and clean sound. It delivers 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms with less than 0.05% THD, and 350 watts into 4 ohms, both channels driven. It also features a bridged mono mode with up to 700 watts output. This amp has been a long time classic for use with Yamahas famous NS10 monitors! Can’t wait to pair those 2 up for a match made in audio engineering heaven!

As always ARC works hard to make sure this equipment is up and running in tip top shape for your session! Whether you wanna bounce your project to tape or come in and experiment with cool quirky instruments to add that special something to your next project, we’re here to help bring your music to the next level! ⚡️

Had the honor of filming with jazz vocalist Olivia Van Goor, who came down from Detroit with b Ryan. They were joined by Akron’s own , & Zaire Darden ,🎶 This marks our second time filming with this talented crew, we linked up last year and knew it had to be done again!

We cooked up a jazzy take on a classic pop tune — A 5 camera shoot with 2 static angles, 1 wide on the vocalist, a telephoto lens for close ups, a medium zoom, a hand held cam and 15 channels of audio, plus a whole lot of ARC vibes.

Final video drops soon… let’s just say it’s one Motown would be proud of 👀🔥
