Surprisingly Useful Selectors [2025 Edition]

How do you search for products on the Sound House website?
I think choosing from "Search by Category" works well because you may find something unexpected, but there is a more convenient page when you are looking for something specific. But, there are more convenient pages when you are looking for a specific product.
In this issue, I will introduce such selectors and special pages! Let's make use of them to make your shopping more convenient!

No.1 "Cable Buying Guide"

Anyone who plays a musical instrument or works on PA systems must have this kind of experience. However, it is surprisingly difficult to find the right cable, especially in situations where you don't normally use them but you find yourself suddenly needing them. You may end up buying cables with the wrong specifications because you were in a hurry.
This is where this "Cable Buying Guide" comes in handy.
This is an excellent tool that allows you to select the cable you need based on the cable's intended use and connector type. Personally, I only need to find a cable that is compatible between two devices, so I utilize only the "Select Connector Type" option.
You don't have to limit the type of cable, just scroll down to "Select Connector Type" and you can choose one (so convenient!!!).

No.2 "Rack and Case Selector"

I just bought some equipment! Now for the storage rack…That is to say, I need a rack/case that I can move around for outdoor gigs. Which one has handles and casters? It's hard to find one right away, isn't it?
This rack and case selector will answer such needs. It’s possible to find products by narrowing down the search based on various criteria such as manufacturer, case type, and carrying handle.
Depth is often important for some equipment. Of course, this selector also allows you to narrow down your search by depth, which is a very convenient feature. You will never have trouble searching for a case here!

No.3 "Selecting Studio Monitor Speakers"

As the name suggests, this page is for selecting recommended studio monitor speakers for computer music and uploading onto social media.
We are often asked "I don't know which speakers to choose out of the many speakers in the world.” "Which one should I choose?” On this page, you can not only narrow down your choices by standard manufacturers and price range, but you can also compare sample sound sources to make up your selection. The sample sound sources are recorded in a considerable lineup, so they are sure to be very useful for you.
At the bottom of the page, you will also find an introduction to speaker stands and insulators, which are important in the viewing environment, so please take a look!
By the way, please refer to the following page for information on isolation pads (anti-vibration materials), which also introduces sample sound sources.

CLASSIC PRO / CIP10 Studio Monitor Isolation Pads for 2 units

No.4 "AVID / Pro Tools Buying Advisor"

This is a selector that answers the question, "Which license should I buy?”
Since the licenses sold have changed to include a wide variety of licenses starting around 2022, it is honestly very confusing for first-time buyers or for those who haven't needed a license in a long time. Now that Pro Tools Artist, the entry-level model, has been introduced, it is even more difficult.
The Pro Tools Artist is a great way to find out which Pro Tools license plan to purchase by selecting the grade you need and the Pro Tools you currently own.
I have also provided a link to a page about the certification process, so you can come back to this page if you’re having any issues.

No.5 "The Audio Interface Selector"

Lastly, I would like to introduce the audio interface selector, which is also one of the most frequently asked questions. This selector allows you to narrow down your search by the number of microphone inputs you need and their functions.
You can choose from iOS-compatible devices, stand-alone interfaces, bus power support, included DAW software, and other detailed features.
For example, if you want to upload your music, you will most likely need a loopback function, and it is very tedious to go to each manufacturer's page and search for information with different descriptions. It is convenient to pinpoint "USB class compliant" and "loopback function" to narrow down the search.

In addition to the selectors introduced so far, Sound House has many other useful selectors and special pages. Please take a look at the list of special pages and try to find the product within the shortest distance!
