The Sontronics DM-1B is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone originally designed for kick drum during a three-year project that also resulted in our DM-1S for snare and DM-1T for tom tom.
The Josephson E22S side-address cardioid was designed to meet the needs of noted recording engineer Steve Albini. The physical profile allows unobtrusive placement, even with tight percussion layouts. Unique among studio condenser microphones, the e22S capsule geometry is optimized for spot miking performance. The circuit uses a cascode discrete FET front end, combined with a custom Lundahl output transformer.
The Samson C02 Pencil Condenser Microphones are small-diaphragm mics designed to capture every nuance and characteristic of your productions. Excelling in both live and recording applications, their low mass diaphragms employ a linear frequency response with optimal transient pickup that make the C02s perfect for miking acoustic instruments. With the ability to handle sound pressure levels of up to 134dB SPL, the C02s are just as ideal for use as drum overheads or cymbal mics.

The award winning MXL Genesis Heritage Edition is a masterfully engineered tube microphone that cuts beautifully through any mix with spectacular detail and warmth. By combining a large 32mm gold sputtered diaphragm with state of the art tube circuity the Genesis captures all the richness of critical vocal and instrument recordings. The lush vintage tone allows the vocals to sit perfectly above other tracks, with little or no EQ needed, in part due to the premium Mullard 12AT7 tube.
Audio-Technica's Pro 37 is a small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone that excels in a variety of studio and live situations. Its wide frequency response and high SPL capacity make it ideal for miking guitars or overhead drums as well as vocal performances.
APOLLO ribbon microphone is one of the most natural-sounding, smooth, open microphones on the market, and will give you outstanding classy results for any overhead or room recording. The APOLLO features two ribbon motors each with a highly sensitive, micron-thin aluminium ribbon element, set in classic Blumlein X-Y formation within the angled open grille cage whose design was inspired by the silhouette of a skyscraper!
