Sample Player

Samples of different stereo recording techniques of a piano and an ensemble.

The examples presented here are recorded with the Parabolic Dish Set and EQ'ed using the ParabolEQ.

The P series is a series of special directional microphones and capsules, developed for close pickup of speech.

The models differ with regard to the intensity of the low frequency attenuation which compensates for the proximity effect. The demo shows how the models sound at different distances, the loudness differences are equalized so that you can concentrate on the spectral differences.

The free plug-in offers powerful creative means. Get the free plug-in here: Polarflex Plug-in

Listen to different settings of the plugin in order to hear the effect on the timbre and on the stereophonic image.

The SuperCMIT has two output channels. The first carries the output of the special digital signal processing built into the microphone (which effectively increases the microphone's directivity), while the second channel carries the signal from the main, forward-facing capsule without DSP--comparable to our well-known analog CMIT 5 shotgun microphone.

The following audio samples are designed to let you hear the effects of the two levels of signal processing which can be set for the microphone ("Preset 1" = moderate signal processing; "Preset 2" = strong signal processing).
