Notes:
- There are hundreds of equipment manufacturers; the list
above shows only some of the best-known brands.
- No recommendation is intended.
- Access to all external sites is at your own risk.
- Please contact me
if any of these links are broken, or if you would like
to suggest other well-known manufacturers to be added.
- Many of the listed manufacturers produce other high-quality
products, besides those for which they are well known.
- The 'Mics' category in the table above includes
wireless (radio) systems and instrument pickups.
- The 'Outboard' category refers to all
outboard signal processing
equipment, including reverb, delay & other effects,
dynamics processing,
parametric
and graphic equalisers, instrument pedals, active crossovers,
harmonisers, exciters etc. (but excluding mic and
instrument pre-amps − those are in the 'Other'
category).
- For assistance in choosing microphones, see the
microphone
selector.
- For assistance when thinking about buying a new mixer, see
the notes on
choosing a
mixer.
- In reality, many of the above names are the names of
brands rather than of manufacturers. In some cases,
several different brands are produced by the same
manufacturer.
