PSW Staff 04/28/11 08:09 AM, 0 CommentsMXL Microphones has announced the addition of the UR-1 USB Ribbon Microphone to their existing line of USB microphones. The UR-1 microphone takes the classic, mellow sound of a ribbon microphone and integrates it with today’s USB technology. This new mic uses modern electrical circuitry to match the input requirements of analog–to-digital converters and USB output with low-noise and high dynamic range. “MXL is a well-known and respected microphone manufacturer and we are the first in the industry to combine… View this story

Fletcher 01/27/11 01:10 PM, 1 CommentThe first time I walked into a gig with a couple of ribbon microphones to use on guitars and drum overheads, the house sound guy at the club looked at me like I had three heads, six arms and was painted purple. This was about 20 years ago, when even the thought of using a condenser mic in a live setting was also considered ridiculous by the majority of the pro audio community. But you know what? Ribbon mics can… View this story

PSW Staff 01/24/10 01:01 PM, 1 CommentCloud Microphones has introduced the Cloudlifter, a two-channel device for interfacing passive, low-output ribbon microphones with any phantom-powered input device. “The Cloudlifter is small enough to go anywhere and use with your favorite preamp,” explains Cloud Chief Design Engineer Stephen Sank, son of Jon R. Sank, the designer of some of the best and last of RCA’s ribbon microphones such as the BK-11 and BK-10A. “The purity of its sound makes it a pleasure to work with. With only a… View this story

Mark Frink 09/01/09 09:24 AM, 1 CommentThis time in Real World Gear we look at the big guns - large format line arrays, those with 12-inch and larger woofers. Line arrays are modular, multi-way enclosures arrayed in vertical columns, with their cabinet’s geometry optimized to provide full-frequency transducer coupling from one enclosure to the next along the height of the array. This is achieved at lower frequencies with cone transducers forming a column from one cabinet to the next, at frequencies where the distance between their… View this story

PSW Staff 08/05/09 12:25 PM, 0 CommentsVMB is pleased to announce the availability of Rainbow electro-acoustical prediction software for the company’s loudspeaker systems that provides horizontal as well as vertical modeling. Windows-based Rainbow allows simulation of complete systems, such as a main large format array complemented by a smaller delayed array and front-fills. Thus its library of loudspeaker systems includes not only the company’s self-powered line array modules with built-in inclinometer (LX-V8 and LX-F6 with accordion-folded ribbon HF driver), but also models from its PHASE or… View this story

PSW Staff 06/30/09 11:02 AM, 0 CommentsMeyer Sound has introduced the JM-1P arrayable loudspeaker, a self-powered high-Q system designed to integrate seamlessly in tight-packed clusters where horizontal coverage must be predictably scaled to exacting requirements. Distinguished by its precisely defined 20-degree horizontal by 60-degree vertical pattern, the JM-1P delivers controlled coverage while minimizing reverberation in large or reflective acoustical environments. With a consistent polar response and trapezoidal enclosure patented by Meyer Sound, the JM-1P delivers optimum performance in tight-packed arrays providing horizontal coverage that is proportional… View this story
