THE V-TWIN TUBE CONDENSER MICROPHONE |
The Proworkshop studio records and mixes a lot of rock music but I've also recorded lots of classical projects from opera singers to a large vintage harp (one of the most difficult things I've ever recorded). Microphones are a critical part of the recording chain and so we need to have many styles and models to cover all the various sound sources.
Back in 1985 there were not nearly as many large diaphragm condenser (LDC) microphone choices available as there are today. The internet has made the entire world a resource for designs, parts and pieces.
