Azienda News:
- Shure SM7dB - Sound On Sound
Shure’s classic mic celebrates a milestone birthday with the addition of a built‑in preamp We test the new SM7dB and explore its fascinating history
- Ribbon Microphones On Test
The mic comes supplied in a smart aluminium flightcase with a long 15m XLR cable Generously, SE's five-year warranty includes three ribbon replacements The accompanying cradle, while appreciated, is unusual in that the microphone at first seems to merely sit on top of it, supported at the sides, rather than being clamped or held in any way
- Vocal Mics - Sound On Sound
AEA R92: The AEA did a similar job to the Coles, with the same characteristic slowness, though to a lesser degree SE Electronics RNR1: The smooth, natural sound of this mic was simply too polite for this voice and application We suspected that a rap vocal might bring something quite different out of the mics on test, and that was indeed the case
- Audio-Technica AT2035 2050 - Sound On Sound
Alternatives Audio-Technica are one of the few companies to specialise in back‑electret technology for use in this type of microphone, so there are few direct alternatives However, in most applications, permanently charged or back‑electret capsules and externally polarised capsules do much the same job, with the exception that back‑electret models usually work well from reduced phantom
- Neumann TLM102 - Sound On Sound
The new TLM102 embodies everything we've come to expect from a large-diaphragm Neumann studio mic — except the price! Unlike some other established microphone manufacturers, Neumann have resisted the urge to produce cheaper models by building them in the Far East, but their TLM range does at least contain some mics that fall into the category of 'affordable' — and these are clearly aimed
- Universal Audio SC-1 - Sound On Sound
UA’s new range brings mic modelling to the masses! When Universal Audio acquired mic modelling maestros Townsend Labs, the obvious intention was to deploy their Sphere technology in more affordable, simpler products The first step along this road was last year’s Sphere LX, and UA have now gone much further
- Ribbon Mics On Test
This led to the strange and apparently paradoxical conclusion that the mic is breathy yet dark We generally felt that, 'ess' strangeness aside, it was competent but a little lacking in ribbon magic when compared with some of the other mics on test Greg agreed, telling us that he found it gave "reasonable detail, but was lacking in character
- Blue Snowball - Sound On Sound
According to Blue, the Snowball makes a good general-purpose vocal or instrument mic for project studio recording, but it's also clear that they — like all the other USB mic manufacturers — have their eye on the growing Podcasting market
- Warm Audio WA‑8000 - Sound On Sound
Photo: Neil Rogers In perhaps their most ambitious project yet, Warm Audio’s latest microphone tackles the legendary Sony C‑800G I’ve had some great experiences with Warm Audio mics recently, and while reviewing their latest interpretation of a classic German tube mic for Sound On Sound a few months ago, I couldn’t help but wonder if there was anything left for them in the fantasy mic
- Sennheiser MD 421 Kompakt - Sound On Sound
Summary The MD 421 Kompakt is a streamlined, smaller and more affordable version of Sennheiser’s classic dymamic mic It’s cheaper than both new and used originals, its smaller size makes miking drums easier, it sounds identical to the full‑size version — and they fixed the clip!
