AudioTechnology’s Stocking Fillers for 2025

We’re putting all our Stocking Stuffers into a single post this year so you can browse everything at once. We’ve got two categories, the first being anything under $300, and the second is our “Spoil Yourself” list which includes some top-of-the-wozzer items because you never know – if you don’t put these things on Santa’s list, it’ll never happen, right? Besides, maybe someone close to you has been saving all year just to surprise you with a new $3K studio microphone… okay, maybe not. Just in case, make sure your stocking is firmly nailed to the mantlepiece. Some of this stuff heavy.

Prices listed are generally RRP in Australia and it’s always worth shopping around or dropping into your local music store to haggle. Happy shopping!

Royer “Axe Mount” dual mic holder

$77

The R-121/57-styled dynamic mic combo is legendary for capturing electric guitars.

With the AxeMount, using these two classic mics has never been easier, faster to set up, or more stable once they’re set up. You can also move the two mics from one cabinet to another effortlessly – it’s as easy as moving one mic stand.

The AxeMount microphone clip positions an R-121 right next to a 57-style dynamic mic, phase-aligned and ready to record for the ultimate electric guitar microphone package. A good starting point is positioning the clip so the dynamic mic is pointed at where the speaker dome meets the paper. The R-121 will be more on the dome. This is a classic position for these two mics.

MiRA STUDIO SOFTWARE

$9.95 PM/$99.00 PY (USD)

MiRA Studio is a tool that lets audio engineers see and analyse how their multi-speaker, immersive sound mixes behave in real time so they can spot problems and balance the audio more accurately.

It’s a software tool that helps people who mix or produce music to visually analyze audio that doesn’t just come from stereo (left/right) — it supports complex, multi-speaker formats (up to 24 channels). Think Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, etc.

As you play or mix audio, MiRA Studio shows you what’s going on in the sound — not just how loud things are, but how the sound is distributed in space (where sounds are coming from in a 3D speaker setup)

It has a special visual display (called Nebula) that shows a “spatial spectrogram” — that’s a way of visualizing frequency (bass, mids, treble) + position (where in space) for all the speaker channels.
