On their Facebook page, Audio-Scape says they have "big things in store for 2019." I asked for a hint but their lips are sealed for now. Anyone care to make any guesses? I'd love to see them jump into the microphone game.

IMO, great microphones are a niche game that is not the same as "making gear". It takes an artiste mentality, great ears, and a lifetime of experience. Guys like Bock, Dreffel, Grossner, and Klaus (sorry, I know I'm probably mis-spelling their names) don't just step in and start making mics. They develop the talent over a lifetime. Anyone can make a mic. It takes considerable talent and experience to make a GREAT mic.
Looking forward to what Audio-Scape has in the works. IMO, a much better alternative to clones than some of the other manufacturers.

You were responding to the suggestion of them getting into mics. Disregard!

I can't wait to check that one out! I seem to remember Chris hinting at a EQP-1a as well in a comment somewhere on social media.

WOW!! Had planned to grab their Audio-Scape LA2 when the last studio was finished built here. But it may be this beauty instead. Maybe it will come before my SA76ADG lands

Other than the Retro and some DIY kits, I can't think of any STA-Level compressor clones out there. I'm very interested when this shows up as in stock.

I still have room in the rack. I should be relocated by this coming summer. I'll be buying a desk with 24 rack spaces on top so there are still some slots to fill. I can squeeze a STA-Level clone in there.

What's this frenzy of all these clones out there? I mean for fucks sake, no imagination/ innovation whatsoever. It's getting really annoying...

If it wasn't for affordable clones, my rack would look very empty. I'm not talking about the price but about the designs. A new design doesn't have to be more expensive than one of these cheap clones if the components are on the same league. R&D I know... I'd rather spend a few bucks more for somebody's effort to come up with a new idea rather than seeing the same clones coming up over and over again. EDIT: And just to be clear, I have absolutely nothing against Audio-Scape. It's just a general observation. Sorry for the off-topic. I'm out
