Topic: Naiant microphones

[jibooer]

As we all know by now, Jon can build some serious gear, and his service and knowledge are spot-on. However, can somebody chime in with their experiences with the Naiant line of microphones? Build quality, sound, comparisons, you know, the usual.

I have being thinking about a small footprint blumlein solution, would the U-8S be something in contention?

Funny, I've had the same question. Jon is not a big fluffer of his own gear, and it appears not many of us run his stuff... Yet.

Justt ran blumlein thurs and LOVE the recording

Bean, was that with the busman? That sure is purdy.

Well I made my own inquiry with the man himself and he has a remote capsule system for his fig.8 (U-8S) caps to be used with the U-X or one of the other amplifiers with an extension cable. It might be worth a try to get a small footprint and still get the blumlein effect.

M y next chapter is M/S and all of its tweakings. I really liked blumlein

Isn't jon working on a new line of mics? I thought that he mentioned it in the AKG active thre ...........

now, now...LOL. The man is busy building everyone's TBoxes and PFA's...and answering my inane questions!

I like what I see in the selection and I am intrigued by the design, especially the 3.5mm connection to the capsules. No more threads, pins or tabs. How they sound is another story. On the other hand, if they work as well as the other products we might have a winner flying under the radar.
