Studio Vocalist

The Studio Vocalist is an all-new, full size, professional ribbon microphone. No other natural ribbon microphone has the output level and quality of the Studio Vocalist. It has a higher output than a stage dynamic mic, almost no self-noise, and a ruggedness unsurpassed in ribbon microphones.

The Studio Vocalist's high output level allows you to use it with virtually any preamp, including your favorite preamp. And you can use that output to the fullest, because we built in pro-level shielding so that radios and magnetic sources won't get into the track.

Most ribbon microphones are known for their "dark" sound, not so with the Studio Vocalist. It has a smooth rising response more like a large diaphragm condenser, but without the top end harshness.

John Guth - Composer, producer, and guitarist uses the Studio Vocalist in his Valley Cottage, NY studio. Here's what he had to say about it: "So far I have used the Studio Vocalist on 2 female vocalists and everyone loves it. Very smooth highs. It also sounds great on acoustic guitar-I may have to buy a second one so I can record guitars in stereo." "It [Studio Vocalist] definitely has a strong output for a ribbon mic making it easy to use on a quiet source like acoustic guitar (steel string) and the sound is full with silky highs and no annoying edge." "It really is a wonderful and unique new mic." Learn more about John's work at www.johnguthmusic.com

Didi Stewart, Assistant Professor in the Voice Department of Berklee College of Music, worked with producer Anthony Resta (Duran Duran, Collective Soul.) recording vocals for an upcoming release. Here's what she had to say about her experience using the Studio Vocalist: "This is the best microphone I have found in twenty-plus years of studio vocalizing. Never before have I used a mic with so much dynamic range, able to capture everything from up-close intimacy to the power of a high-register belt. The sound is crisp and clear, resonant and alive." "This microphone represents an exciting advance in studio technology. I would recommend it to all singers, and particularly to "belters" who want to achieve a consistent sound without sacrificing vocal dynamics."
