Focal Listen Professional Closed-Back Headphones

Focal Shape Twin Dual Powered Studio Monitor
Brent has upgraded to the Focal Twins! Not only are they beautiful monitors but they are the same sound top producers in the industry are using. If you can't hear your voice the way the voice buyer hears your voice, you're not selling what you think you're selling. Make sense? Studio Monitors are a must!

Apollo Twin from Universal Audio
This thing has changed the game! No more bulk preamps or outboard gear. The UA Twin has an entire studio room in this travel sized unit. Brent uses this for major film campaigns and national network promo work. The stock plugins and a good mic are all you need to start or upgrade in the world of voice over.
