If you’ve been holding off on purchasing music gear while you wait for the Presidents’ Day sales to arrive, then hold no longer, because Musician’s Friend just dropped their huge sale over a week early! You can bag yourself up to 40% off a massive range of gear, with everything from electric guitars to audio interfaces up for grabs. If that’s not enough to tempt you, then there are also select items with 10% or 15% reductions when you use the code ‘PRESDAY’.
Of course, we had to peruse the sale a little before writing this article, and we managed to pick out a few really tasty deals. First up, there’s a hefty discount on a pair of M-Audio BX3 studio monitors, which are perfect for the budding engineer or first-timers looking to make some recordings at home. They’re down from $139.99 to just $79.99, giving you a healthy $60 saving on the regular price.
At the opposite end of the price spectrum, we spotted the Antelope Audio Zen Q audio interface with a massive 50% discount. Normally retailing at $999, it’s been reduced to just $499 in the Presidents’ Day sale, giving you a top-quality Thunderbolt interface at the lowest price we’ve seen. It’s a great alternative to the pricy Universal Audio Apollo Twin, giving you plenty of functionality, powerful DSP processing, and some quality mic pres.
Finally, we had our heads turned by the striking-looking Nord Wave 2, which has got a stonking $900 discount in the sale. It’s a synthesizer with sample replay and FM synthesis, and some serious grunt under the hood. A multitimbral approach to the design means you can layer, sample, and split with independent FX to create some really impressive sound.
