VO-BB - 19 YEARS OLD!

Just a thought .... do you switch the phantom power off when you've finished for the day, or do you leave the mic powered 24/7?

I've heard some pretty weird cracking, popping and thundering noises ...

City Lit has a very good Character Voice course, run by my old chum Dian Perry. Well recommended.

The older U87s are quite noisy when compared with the newer U87 ai version.

I don't know what the support / spares situation is like for the Telos units, but the CCS Primas have been out of production a long time now, and manufacturer support has long since discontinued. Alt ...

I hate listening to audio that's been excessively de-breathed. I start to feel uneasy, wondering if the voice is about to suffocate.

I guess my story shows that the reliability of ISDN is declining, as the telcos refuse to properly maintain their network. If the picture in the US is the same as in the UK, it's not an issue of lack ...

We went through a phase at BBC radio where they tried to standardise on the 451/CK8 combo for the presenter mic positions on the daytime pop shows. Using a shotgun in a close-mic setup worked quite w ...

If you watch the display when you boot it up, it'll tell you the software version.

If you select the Common menu <COM> on the menu column, and scroll through the options, you may (depending which software version you have) find one named CFN. This allows you to turn the fan o ...

We use the Relevator, with a twin mount in the top, to take two separate sprung boom arms. It certainly is a lovely piece of engineering, and it has made a big difference to the isolation of the mics ...
