Review: 12 Gauge Microphones Red12 and Green12

Jon — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:27:06 +0000

Shotgun shell microphones, well that’s something different! A unique idea, a useful product and inexpensive. I don’t remember exactly how I came across 12 gauge microphones but I’m really glad I did. I sent an email to Brad Martin, the guy that builds these mics to request some samples to review. www.12gaugemicrophones.com Brad makes two [...]

How to mic anything

Jon — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 21:55:37 +0000

I’m getting sick of seeing things like “A D112 is a kick drum mic”. You can put ANY MIC in front of ANY SOURCE, it may or may not sound how you want. How to mic anything: Step 1 – Put a transducer where the good sound comes out. Step 2 – Listen. If the [...]

Microphone Failures

Jon — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 22:14:23 +0000

I saw this on a forum yesterday, someone found a craigslist ad selling a Rode NT1A with this picture. If this was the way he was using it, no wonder he’s selling it, the mic is really not going to sound good in that position. Here are some other epic microphone failures. . Microphone Failures [...]

Pop Filter Shootout

Jon — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:58:37 +0000

Last year JJ Blair posted a shootout of 5 pop filters over on the PSW Acid Test forum. The topic came up in the latest HRS episode, I thought it was interesting as it’s one of those things you don’t really think about. You likely use a pop filter for vocals as a rule without [...]

Gear Lust – A mic stand that doesn’t suck!!

Jon — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:01:25 +0000

Every mic stand I’ve used in the past month, new and old, ranging in price from $30-$80 all have failed at the simple task of holding a mic in the position I need. They all sag with the weight of a condenser mic. In one 3-hour session I had to go into the live room [...]
