Hi all,
I am the creator of this microphone and heard there was a little chatter over here about it. Let me just touch on a couple items that may have got lost in translation somewhere or improved with the latest firmware update.
1. This mic can take up to 131dB SPL before ADC clipping in 'pad mode'.
2. USB - 8 channels streaming to computer or mobile device up to 96kHz and 2 channels playback up to 96kHz.
3. ADAT Lightpipe - 8 Channels Streaming up to 48kHz.
4. Stereo Analog Out (HP or turn down for line output). This is binaural decode at sample rates up to 48kHz and MS decode at 88.2kHz and 96kHz.
5. This mic stores sensitivity calibration in the front end so you are recording with a balanced array.
6. We tested many different capsules in the design phase and chose the ones that made the most sense for this mic — you would be surprised how many look-a-like capsules there are out there.
7. Body construction is strong, lightweight aluminum and nylon made here in Southern California!
I've used the mic to record extremely loud drums up close without clipping — sounds awesome as an OH and you have the ability to aim virtual mics after the fact.
Thanks for taking a look and don't forget to check out the Reaper session we have for download on the site.
