Welcome.
4
00:00:02,540 --> 00:00:02,640
Hi.
5
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:02,940
Hi.
6
00:00:03,180 --> 00:00:03,540
Hi.
7
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:04,640
Hello, everyone.

00:00:06,620 --> 00:00:08,600
These guys are professional, they're motivated.
10
00:00:08,860 --> 00:00:11,280
Thanks to Triboose, the best vocal booths for

Introducing Robert Marshall from Source Elements and someone
14
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:21,560
audio post Chicago.
15
00:00:22,060 --> 00:00:24,780

And me, Andrew Pinkers, voiceover talent and home
19
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:32,080
studio guy.
20
00:00:32,140 --> 00:00:32,980
Line up, man.
21
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:33,980
Here we go.
22
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,740
And welcome to another pro audio suite.
23
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,120
Thanks to Triboose.
24
00:00:39,180 --> 00:00:41,240
Don't forget that code, T-R-I-P
25
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,340
-A-P 200 to get $200 off your
26
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:44,660
booth.
27
00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:47,200
And Austrian Audio, making passion heard.
28
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:49,960
We've had a bit of a passionate response
29
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,000
to our new Facebook group, which is the
30
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,380
pro audio suite podcast group.
31
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,280
And Rubbo threw up a survey about microphones,
32
00:00:59,580 --> 00:01:01,560
which one people would like to use and
33
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,540
do use and don't use.
34
00:01:03,819 --> 00:01:06,320
Yeah, I just, I kind of figured a
35
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:10,060
robust discussion about microphones is always well received.
36
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,320
So I figured I'd start one and it's
37
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:13,960
only a small sample because we've only just
38
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:14,620
started the group.
39
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,760
But some of the results sort of had
40
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,600
me thinking a bit.
41
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:19,660
So basically what I did was I did
42
00:01:19,660 --> 00:01:20,080
a poll.
43
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,120
And I didn't go with my favorites.
44
00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:25,420
I just went with the microphones that as
45
00:01:25,420 --> 00:01:28,160
a freelance audio engineer, when I'm walking into
46
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,860
other studios, I come across a lot.
47
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,120
And I stuck them up there with an
48
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,600
option for people to put their own up
49
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,020
there as well.
50
00:01:34,140 --> 00:01:35,500
So the ones I put up were the
51
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:42,060
SM7B, the NT1A, the TLM103, AT2020, 416, of
52
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:42,380
course.
53
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:44,080
And that was about it.
54
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:46,120
And then left it open for people to
55
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,040
sort of put their own up.
56
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,980
And the question was, which one's your best
57
00:01:50,980 --> 00:01:51,180
mate?
58
00:01:51,380 --> 00:01:53,900
So what's the microphone that you choose in
59
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:54,400
your studio?
60
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:56,680
Now, I've got to be honest, I kind
61
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,160
of did figure that the 416 would feature
62
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,460
fairly heavily and it has.
63
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,040
I mean, the 7B sort of comes in
64
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,240
fairly close and the TLM103 are exactly the
65
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,620
same in terms of response.
66
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,940
But then some of the ones in the
67
00:02:11,940 --> 00:02:15,180
comments were sort of interesting as well.
68
00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:17,460
Well, the one I thought was interesting was
69
00:02:17,460 --> 00:02:21,120
someone jumped on to Bill.
70
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,500
Now I've got to try and get his
71
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:23,020
name right.
72
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,240
Bill Answa.
73
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Is that right?
74
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:26,580
Answa.
75
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,980
Yeah, I think it's Bill Answa.
76
00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:29,640
Anyway, sorry, Bill, if I got your name
77
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:29,860
wrong.
78
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:34,320
He is using the Austrian audio OC18 into
79
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,300
an SSL2.
80
00:02:35,820 --> 00:02:37,220
Well, someone's been listening to our podcast.
81
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,400
And is he using the 4K button?
82
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:40,800
He says.
83
00:02:41,380 --> 00:02:42,000
Yes, he does.
84
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,260
Yeah, he goes, yes, indeed.
85
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:44,280
Thanks for teaching me that.
86
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,480
Yeah, and Phil writes on the Lewitt, which
87
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,980
doesn't feature fairly.
88
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,100
Yeah, we mentioned it on the show, but
89
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:52,620
I don't see it a lot.
90
00:02:54,780 --> 00:02:55,840
What else was the other one?
91
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,040
What's the 875R?
92
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,500
What's that, a shotgun?
93
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:03,600
It's an excellent, excellent bargain shotgun mic.
94
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:04,800
Is it?
95
00:03:04,980 --> 00:03:05,080
Right.
96
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,960
It's the one that you recommend, George, isn't
97
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,140
it?
98
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,040
It's so good.
99
00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:10,500
Like, it's only Achilles heel is that it's
100
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:11,660
not the quietest mic.
101
00:03:11,660 --> 00:03:13,900
Self-noise is, you know, not as good
102
00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:14,620
as a 416.
103
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,300
But it's a damn good substitute.
104
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,160
You know, it sounds similar.
105
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,780
I have one.
106
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:22,040
So one of these days we'll pull it
107
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,360
out and we'll compare it.
108
00:03:23,420 --> 00:03:24,320
Yeah, I'd love to hear it.
109
00:03:24,740 --> 00:03:25,700
But it sounds similar.
110
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,800
It's not quite as large.
111
00:03:28,020 --> 00:03:30,080
It's sort of like a short shotgun.
112
00:03:30,340 --> 00:03:32,020
Is the polar pattern as tight as a
113
00:03:32,020 --> 00:03:32,160
416?
114
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:32,720
I would say no.
115
00:03:32,940 --> 00:03:35,540
I would definitely say it's not as tight
116
00:03:35,540 --> 00:03:36,320
at all.
117
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,740
It's a more, nowhere near sophisticated mic.
118
00:03:39,740 --> 00:03:42,860
It doesn't have that very complex line tube
119
00:03:42,860 --> 00:03:44,440
interference design.
120
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,060
Yeah.
121
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,440
So anyway, it's a very simple mic, but
122
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,320
it just sounds good.
123
00:03:48,620 --> 00:03:51,760
And they're always under 200 US, 175 maybe.
124
00:03:52,820 --> 00:03:54,100
So that one's a...
125
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:54,580
169 B?
126
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:56,040
That one's a great value.
127
00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:57,920
And we've been recommending it a lot to
128
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,700
folks who want a stunt mic.
129
00:04:00,060 --> 00:04:01,320
Well, this is an interesting one from Jeff
130
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:01,720
Berlin.
131
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Obviously the obligatory 416.
132
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,600
But he also has a Bosch or Soundalux
133
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,780
U195.
134
00:04:10,340 --> 00:04:11,520
I don't know that microphone.
135
00:04:11,820 --> 00:04:12,100
What do you say?
136
00:04:12,460 --> 00:04:14,240
I have a Soundalux U99.
137
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:18,579
And it is basically a clone of a
138
00:04:18,579 --> 00:04:21,420
U67 using an actual EF86 tube.
139
00:04:22,380 --> 00:04:24,560
And the Soundalux mics became Bach.
140
00:04:25,020 --> 00:04:26,000
Yeah, that's right.
141
00:04:27,220 --> 00:04:27,320
Yeah.
142
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,720
And they are pretty high-end mics.
143
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,000
They got bought by Universal Audio.
144
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,840
Yeah, that's correct.
145
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:32,980
Oh, really?
146
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:33,340
Yeah.
147
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,840
Wow, that's too bad?
148
00:04:35,260 --> 00:04:35,820
Is that too bad?
149
00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:36,320
I don't know.
150
00:04:36,460 --> 00:04:36,660
I don't know.
151
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:37,560
I mean...
152
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,160
It's kind of weird.
153
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,720
I thought they bought Sphere microphones.
154
00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:41,480
They had to buy all of them microphone
155
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:41,660
companies.
156
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:42,940
So I threw all the mics that were
157
00:04:42,940 --> 00:04:45,140
in the comments, I think, into the survey.
158
00:04:45,940 --> 00:04:46,900
So it's easier to see.
159
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,120
And it's going to make it easier for
160
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,080
people to continue voting.
161
00:04:51,460 --> 00:04:54,000
But did you see anything that surprised you
162
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:54,200
here?
163
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:55,200
Not me.
164
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:55,880
Nothing really.
165
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,380
I mean, there's certainly plenty of ones that
166
00:04:58,380 --> 00:05:00,660
you don't see regularly in professional studios, not
167
00:05:00,660 --> 00:05:01,840
that that means jack shit.
168
00:05:02,020 --> 00:05:04,120
Because in a professional studio, you're looking for
169
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,220
a workhorse that will do a whole bunch
170
00:05:07,220 --> 00:05:09,320
of things, I guess, especially in post-production
171
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,860
houses, as opposed to music studios.
172
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,580
There's just no representation of a PZM mic
173
00:05:15,580 --> 00:05:15,980
here.
174
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:16,780
Come on.
175
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,620
There's no crown PZMs?
176
00:05:19,180 --> 00:05:19,400
Oh, man.
177
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:21,960
Like, turn my wall into the microphone.
178
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:22,820
Yeah, that's right.
179
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,440
The MK4, the Sennheiser, what's an MK4?
180
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,220
It's like a lower end shotgun.
181
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:29,220
No, actually, no.
182
00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:32,960
It's their entry-level side address LCD.
183
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,760
Large diaphragm.
184
00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:35,640
Oh, okay.
185
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,300
Large diaphragm.
186
00:05:36,860 --> 00:05:40,280
It's like, I mean, I think in character,
187
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,980
it's somewhere very similar to a TLM102 or
188
00:05:42,980 --> 00:05:43,300
103.
189
00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:44,660
It's in that range.
190
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:47,120
Is it kind of like the AKG perception?
191
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:47,980
Kind of.
192
00:05:48,020 --> 00:05:48,660
It's like that zone.
193
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,820
But I mean, it's not that cheap.
194
00:05:50,820 --> 00:05:52,440
It's still a $400 mic.
195
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,540
I think it's more like a two.
196
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:56,640
Oh, it's used.
197
00:05:57,140 --> 00:05:58,200
Maybe it's used $200.
198
00:05:58,700 --> 00:05:58,800
Yeah, maybe.
199
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,140
I mean, Guitar Center's got them, but maybe
200
00:06:01,140 --> 00:06:01,840
those are used.
201
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,180
But Sweetwater's trying to sell it for $400.
202
00:06:04,820 --> 00:06:06,420
How much is an AKG perception?
203
00:06:07,260 --> 00:06:07,580
LDC.
204
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,160
I don't know.
205
00:06:08,380 --> 00:06:11,160
They're quite a bit cheaper, like 200 range.
206
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:14,680
So, yeah, the Sennheiser MK4 is not bad
207
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,000
at all.
208
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,700
There's quite a few people who have those.
209
00:06:17,340 --> 00:06:19,760
Well, speaking of Sennheiser, just as an aside,
210
00:06:20,140 --> 00:06:22,280
Chris McCallum, who we've had on the show,
211
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,460
he's probably one of Australia's best known location
212
00:06:25,460 --> 00:06:29,760
recordists, put up a post about his Sennheiser.
213
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,380
He says, I have an interesting occurrence with
214
00:06:32,380 --> 00:06:35,960
a 10 year old Sennheiser MKH8060 shotgun mic.
215
00:06:36,420 --> 00:06:38,380
One day it stopped working without warning and
216
00:06:38,380 --> 00:06:40,240
only issued a static frequency.
217
00:06:40,740 --> 00:06:42,800
I've taken it to Sennheiser's service and they've
218
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,620
discovered that they are unable to open the
219
00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:46,900
mic as the special screws holding the electronics
220
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:48,860
inside the barrel are completely seized.
221
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:50,780
They say they can see no sign of
222
00:06:50,780 --> 00:06:52,620
corrosion, but are unable to open the mic,
223
00:06:52,820 --> 00:06:53,820
sort of shoring it open.
224
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,840
What has surprised me is they have offered
225
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:57,460
to take possession of this mic and offer
226
00:06:57,460 --> 00:06:59,700
me a brand new one for an exchange
227
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:00,480
of $700.
228
00:07:00,980 --> 00:07:03,020
These mics now retail for well over $2
229
00:07:03,020 --> 00:07:03,400
,300.
230
00:07:03,980 --> 00:07:05,640
So, I'm very happy with the outcome.
231
00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:09,140
So, this is now the second new exchange
232
00:07:09,140 --> 00:07:10,960
I've had since the original purchase, as there
233
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,860
was a recall in the very early serial
234
00:07:12,860 --> 00:07:13,160
numbers.
235
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,560
So, it was replaced then as well.
236
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:16,720
I can't really fault their response and commitment
237
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,340
to their brand.
238
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,360
So, hey, that's...
239
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,540
Did you see my response on that?
240
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:21,620
No.
241
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:22,020
What's yours?
242
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:22,840
What did you say on that?
243
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,440
But they're charging him...
244
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,220
I was the original recording of the screws
245
00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:26,900
falling out.
246
00:07:29,580 --> 00:07:31,660
They're basically saying they'll do the repair for
247
00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:32,540
$700.
248
00:07:32,820 --> 00:07:34,280
So, they're basically giving him a brand new
249
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,740
mic for $700, yeah.
250
00:07:36,220 --> 00:07:36,860
As the repair?
251
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,500
As the repair, I guess, yeah.
252
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:39,660
I'd say yes if it came with a
253
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:40,260
one year warranty.
254
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:40,880
Right.
255
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:41,880
At least.
256
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,860
Or whatever the new warranty is, I guess.
257
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,260
It's a bit of a bummer though.
258
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:47,560
But yeah.
259
00:07:47,740 --> 00:07:48,420
I had a similar thing.
260
00:07:48,580 --> 00:07:50,040
I actually had a similar thing happen with
261
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,640
my 416.
262
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,540
It was an old one and it was
263
00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:56,120
playing up, I sent it into Sennheiser and
264
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,320
they kind of said, look, we can fix
265
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,780
it, but it's probably going to cost, you
266
00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:02,100
know, almost the same price as a...
267
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:04,000
Probably about half the cost of a new
268
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:04,240
one.
269
00:08:04,860 --> 00:08:06,040
And then they...
270
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:06,400
Yeah.
271
00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:08,340
But then they sort of said, look, you
272
00:08:08,340 --> 00:08:10,020
can fix it, but we can't guarantee it
273
00:08:10,020 --> 00:08:11,760
because it is old and there's components could
274
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:12,200
let go.
275
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,480
Then did me a cracking deal on a
276
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,040
new 416.
277
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:16,820
Nice.
278
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,500
As long as the mic wasn't cracking, that's
279
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:18,900
a good deal.
280
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:19,960
Yeah, exactly.
281
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:21,560
Well, the first one was, the second one
282
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:21,800
wasn't.
283
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,740
Are you making fun of this London accent?
284
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:25,880
So, that's 8060 is a step up from
285
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,660
the 416 in terms of...
286
00:08:27,660 --> 00:08:28,740
Yeah, it looks like it.
287
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:29,240
Yeah, yeah.
288
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,299
Better signal response, maybe.
289
00:08:31,679 --> 00:08:31,960
Yeah.
290
00:08:32,780 --> 00:08:34,799
The 8000 series is sort of their...
291
00:08:35,460 --> 00:08:37,440
That's their new flagship line.
292
00:08:38,140 --> 00:08:39,760
You know, small diaphragm mics in the head.
293
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,440
Did Chris mention it in the episode when
294
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:41,900
we had him on?
295
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:43,500
I feel like he did.
296
00:08:43,660 --> 00:08:45,180
I feel like he's sort of go to
297
00:08:45,180 --> 00:08:45,440
mine.
298
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:46,000
Yeah, yeah.
299
00:08:46,180 --> 00:08:48,980
But see, Chris doesn't have a microphone locker.
300
00:08:49,260 --> 00:08:51,560
He has a microphone walk-in wardrobe.
301
00:08:52,180 --> 00:08:52,860
Yes, exactly.
302
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:53,540
That's right.
303
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:55,840
Yeah.
304
00:08:56,060 --> 00:08:57,840
He's the Imelda Marcos of microphones.
305
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,280
I think Sennheiser makes a sight address version
306
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,980
in that 8000 series.
307
00:09:02,980 --> 00:09:06,660
It's multi-pattern and it's like $4000, but
308
00:09:06,660 --> 00:09:08,140
it's supposed to be really excellent.
309
00:09:08,260 --> 00:09:08,960
You know what I'm talking about?
310
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:09,140
800.
311
00:09:09,820 --> 00:09:10,800
Is it the 800?
312
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:11,420
Is that what it is?
313
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,680
It's a really odd little mic.
314
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,560
It's very small.
315
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,020
And let's see if I can share.
316
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,300
No, it's a multi-pattern.
317
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,980
It's not the little small tiny ones.
318
00:09:20,980 --> 00:09:22,020
I know, but it's really small.
319
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:24,220
I mean, I saw it at NAB.
320
00:09:24,940 --> 00:09:27,380
I was like, oh my God, that thing's
321
00:09:27,380 --> 00:09:27,740
tiny.
322
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,360
I think I saw your video.
323
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,300
I'm looking at the MKH 800 Twin.
324
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,820
This is a new model of microphone they
325
00:09:35,820 --> 00:09:36,360
just launched.
326
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,880
This is a different animal completely from what
327
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,460
you're describing.
328
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:42,080
This one's 3200.
329
00:09:42,740 --> 00:09:46,980
And it is their variable pattern mic where
330
00:09:46,980 --> 00:09:47,940
you just simply...
331
00:09:47,940 --> 00:09:48,200
What's that?
332
00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:50,600
MKH 800 Twin?
333
00:09:50,780 --> 00:09:52,120
Yeah, this is it right here.
334
00:09:52,220 --> 00:09:53,640
I have it on screen, I think.
335
00:09:53,940 --> 00:09:54,040
Maybe.
336
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,080
There it goes.
337
00:09:55,620 --> 00:09:55,980
There it is.
338
00:09:57,020 --> 00:09:58,060
Look at that sexy baby.
339
00:09:58,340 --> 00:09:59,120
Quite spendy.
340
00:09:59,180 --> 00:10:00,860
This picture doesn't show...
341
00:10:00,860 --> 00:10:02,360
Well, you see how small it is by...
342
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,700
Because you can see the XLR barrel.
343
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:05,940
The tail, it's small.
344
00:10:06,220 --> 00:10:08,100
It almost looks like a mic port pro,
345
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:08,780
the original one.
346
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,820
It is like the old KM86.
347
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,620
The Neumann KM86, which is a side address,
348
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,880
multi-pattern, small diaphragm mic that people go
349
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,600
kind of gaga over.
350
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,680
Well, that's quite a spendy mic, 3200.
351
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,700
Which is two symmetrical push-pull...
352
00:10:28,380 --> 00:10:29,700
It's a dual diaphragm.
353
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,740
Is it dual output too?
354
00:10:32,940 --> 00:10:34,020
Like, could we use it with our...
355
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:35,320
Yeah, so the way it works is you
356
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,020
simply pot up and down the other capsule,
357
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:39,860
and that's how you go.
358
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,340
So it's like...
359
00:10:41,340 --> 00:10:42,220
But do you have a separate output of
360
00:10:42,220 --> 00:10:43,380
the other capsule so we can run it
361
00:10:43,380 --> 00:10:45,580
into our new software that you and I
362
00:10:45,580 --> 00:10:46,160
have purchased?
363
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:47,120
Right.
364
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,540
Yeah, it is quite a spendy mic.
365
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:53,360
You know, it's so funny.
366
00:10:53,500 --> 00:10:56,180
I have video of me interviewing the Sennheiser
367
00:10:56,180 --> 00:10:59,320
rep at NAB on YouTube, and someone's like,
368
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,140
Hey, isn't that Julian Kraus standing right behind
369
00:11:04,140 --> 00:11:04,400
him?
370
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:07,600
It was Julian Kraus standing behind you.
371
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,200
It was, it was like I missed an
372
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,800
opportunity to chat with him.
373
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,140
Oh, I saw it when I saw your
374
00:11:12,140 --> 00:11:12,380
video.
375
00:11:12,580 --> 00:11:13,340
I saw him in the background.
376
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:14,580
He was having a look at the mics
377
00:11:14,580 --> 00:11:15,000
as well.
378
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,360
Is that Julian Kraus?
379
00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:18,160
I'm like, son of a gun, it is.
380
00:11:19,060 --> 00:11:20,980
There are so many YouTubers at NAB, of
381
00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:21,540
course, you know.
382
00:11:21,740 --> 00:11:23,880
I saw a couple, they were always like
383
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,580
in transit, you know, but I would love
384
00:11:25,580 --> 00:11:28,740
to send hello to Julian and thank him
385
00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:33,860
for his unbelievable commitment to very, very consistent
386
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:36,660
and dry videos about audio interfaces.
387
00:11:37,580 --> 00:11:40,200
He's like the equivalent of the Sahara desert
388
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:40,810
for YouTubers.
389
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,260
It is so freaking dry.
390
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,920
Yeah, but it's useful.
391
00:11:45,540 --> 00:11:45,800
And big.
392
00:11:46,220 --> 00:11:48,700
You know, we're the polar opposite, really, aren't
393
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:48,920
we?
394
00:11:50,420 --> 00:11:50,760
Exactly.
395
00:11:51,220 --> 00:11:52,780
And in fact, on that note, if you
396
00:11:52,780 --> 00:11:53,660
do want to vote for one of these
397
00:11:53,660 --> 00:11:56,300
microphones or tell us what you have, go
398
00:11:56,300 --> 00:11:59,900
to your Facebook and or the Facebook, as
399
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:02,580
I saw people call it, and look for
400
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:05,340
the Pro Audio Suite podcast group and you'll
401
00:12:05,340 --> 00:12:06,720
find the thread down there somewhere.
402
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:07,900
Not the page, the group.
403
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:08,620
Yeah, the group.
404
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,360
We can even pin that, I think.
405
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:11,680
Maybe it might be a way to pin
406
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:11,860
it.
407
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:12,500
Well, I will.
408
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:13,620
I'll pin it to the top of our
409
00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:13,840
Facebook page.
410
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:14,440
Oh, I can do it right now.
411
00:12:14,580 --> 00:12:15,900
Oh, you can do that.
412
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:16,400
There you go.
413
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:17,100
Pin the feature.
414
00:12:17,540 --> 00:12:17,980
There you go.
415
00:12:18,420 --> 00:12:18,620
So yes.
416
00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:19,340
Done.
417
00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:19,840
Out.
418
00:12:20,620 --> 00:12:20,980
Pinned.
419
00:12:23,860 --> 00:12:24,460
Pinned.
420
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:26,800
So that was fun.
421
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:27,300
Is it over?
422
00:12:28,860 --> 00:12:30,040
The Pro Audio Suite.
423
00:12:30,420 --> 00:12:33,960
Thanks to drivers and Austrian Audio, recorded using
424
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,120
