Waltons Music for Schools Competition

Due to circumstances beyond our control and the lack of a viable date for the 2018 Finalists Concert, unfortunately the 2018 Waltons Music for Schools Competition will not be going ahead.
We are definitely planning for a 2019 Competition, however, and we will contact all schools on our mailing list with details as early as possible in the new school year.
We appologise for this and look forward to some wonderful entries next year.
If you are not already on our mailing list, please email us if you would like to receive information on the 2019 Competition as soon as it becomes available.

Waltons Georges Street is Moving to Blanchardstown

Dear customer,
Yes times are changing and we must change with them!
Waltons have been reviewing how best we can service our customers into the future. There are many changes in the retail landscape that have already come and more are on the way as the choices people have for the way they shop develop and the ways  their  needs are serviced changes. In the age of algorithms and robots the consumer has many choices. Waltons has been servicing a huge variety of customers music needs since the foundation of the State in 1922. This has been through global wars and peace, economic upturns and downturns, changes in music fashion and taste and dramatic changes in the range of instruments and music styles during the last 95 years. We fully intend to continue doing this in the future. But to do this we also need to evolve and adapt to the changing retail landscape.

The first step we will make is to move all our retail business into our Blanchardstown store and we will no longer operate from our South Great Georges st store. Waltons New School of Music will still operate from its Georges St. premises and will continue to service all of its students needs long into the future.

The reason  for this move is to restructure our business in a way that we will be able to offer our customers the best music choices possible at the best prices in the future. With the ever rising costs of doing business in the city centre we need to make sure that our cost base does not make us uncompetitive. We want to be able to give our Irish based customers the best instruments and accessories at the right price in Ireland. To do this we need to adapt and change. We are going nowhere and intend to be able to offer our customers choice and value for a long time to come.

As our Georges store will close (not our Georges st school, which will remain open) on the 12^th of February we are having a moving sale. This is an in store sale only which will have plenty of discounts!

The Zoom F8 Field Recorder for Professional Sound

The Zoom F8 Field Recorder is made for serious filmmakers and sound designers. From super-low-noise mic preamps to pinpoint accurate time code, the #ZoomF8 has everything you need to capture professional-quality audio.

At a glance:
Superb Professional Sound Recording for film makers and sound designers
High-resolution audio at 24-bit/192 kHz
Great Preamps with up to 75dB gain
Clean sound, low noise
Dual SD card slots
Timeclock code with pinpoint accuracy
Bluetooth iOS app for mixing via iPhone or iPad
Robust aluminium case, light weight (2lbs)
Stunning professional sound recording for €949

In detail:
Field recorders, with essential features such as time code, have been unobtainable for most. Until now.
With 8-input/10-track recording, super low-noise preamps, and support for 24-bit/192 kHz audio, the F8 captures the highest-quality audio.
FEATURES

The F8 features an extremely low noise floor (−127 dBu EIN) and high gain (up to 75 dB), with +4 dB line inputs.

 The F8 can record at 24-bit/192 kHz resolution and is equipped with onboard limiters designed to provide overload protection. Limiting can be applied to all 8 channels simultaneously at full resolution, with 10dB of headroom and controls for setting threshold, attack, and release.
The F8’s time code is state-of-the-art. It utilizes a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) that generates time code at 0.2 ppm accuracy, enabling rock-solid syncing of audio and video.
 The F8 supports all standard dropframe and non-drop formats, and can jam sync to time code being provided by external devices. An input and output are provided on standard BNC connectors, enabling easy integration into any rig.
F8 is not only versatile and feature rich, it is the smallest field recorder with eight XLR combo inputs ever made. Weighing just 2.1 pounds (without batteries), its aluminum chassis is both rugged and durable.
Sound professionals sometimes work in dusty, hard-to-see environments. Level meters with adjustable brightness and its 2.4 inch full-colour backlit LCD (which can be set to monochrome mode), make the F8 easy to use in any environment — from low-light to direct sunlight.
Record on two SD/SDHC/SDXC cards*, up to 512 GB each, simultaneously, allowing you to instantly backup or split recordings (for example, save eight tracks onto one card and a stereo mix onto another).
