    Thanks Aaron! This is just what I was looking for., wide frequency range without shrinking my wallet. Great demonstration as well. I just placed an order.

    Thanks Aaron, such a great find! I just got mine and while it depends on the source material on harmonically rich sources like the human voice it's absolutely amazing... No need to buy a monster lib ever again haha!

      @jacobisalemon don't know if you're already on the mailing notification list for LOM Audio but if not I recommend it. I always got the mics I wanted by ordering right after when new batch is out. The mailing notification always worked for me, got my Uši Pro pair, the Priezor and Geofón that way

    Awesome find! Thanks.
    Bit of a tip that's in the low-budget spirit- I've found an old forum post where a guy repurposed pencil erasers (the long triangular kind) into makeshift shock mounts for a similar mic. Might be worth looking into!

    That’s fantastic! I’ve been working on a macro video project lately and trying to do some super-tight close-up “macro” audio (watch ticks etc). I could’ve really done with this microphone! I made a kind of junky solution with a band-pass and a frequency shifter - essentially just copying the highest frequencies up an extra octave or two - but as you can imagine it’s not a perfect organic result. Especially on more tonal sounds.
    I think I’m gonna buy me one of these! :)
    Thanks!

    One more question, dear Aaron! Do you ever consider using SpectraLayers instead of (or in addition to) RX? Noting that I'm about to invest in the hefty priced RX11 version upgrade, my eye is wandering....

    • @aaronbrownsound
      @aaronbrownsound  7 місяців тому +1

      I tried it once, but am so familiar with rx I didn't need it. Found RX better. Also didn't think rx11 was worth the upgrade and usually lag a few versions behind.

  • @stephencshapiro
    @stephencshapiro 2 роки тому +1

    Sounds fantastic. Any ideas to get this in an enclosure or otherwise make it easier to position or mount? It looks a little precarious in its native rattail form. Seems like a stereo pair would be great for a binaural head.

    • @aaronbrownsound
      @aaronbrownsound  2 роки тому

      That's a great question. I don't have a good mount, but please let me know if you find one. My current plan is to use this with my MKH50/30 rig in the center and blend it for ultrasonic options and omni pattern fun. For that it doesn't need an enclosure.

  • @steinwaygoat
    @steinwaygoat Рік тому

    Simple question but it’s got me stymied: how did you set RX to read above 20 K?

    • @aaronbrownsound
      @aaronbrownsound  Рік тому +1

      RX adapts to the source material for the view. If you make a new 192khz file in rx you should see up to 96khz. You may want to right click and change the scale to bark for a more even distribution with ultrasonic files :)

    • @steinwaygoat
      @steinwaygoat Рік тому +1

      @@aaronbrownsound. Silly me. I was trying to record a sample first in halion, and then simply drag the sample into RX. When I recorded directly into rx everything was obvious and simple. Thanks so much for all your help. I love your UA-cam channel.

    Do you need anything other than the mic and the xlr converter? On the site it says "Requires capsule and cable to be supported." Maybe that means physically supported?

    • @aaronbrownsound
      @aaronbrownsound  26 днів тому

      Didn't need more than that here. I imagine they mean it needs to be used with gear that supports the frequency range?

      I don't think I made that point, but yeah the Sanken is much better for pros and different technology. This video just tries to point out you can achieve ultrasonic recording for sound design without needing the $2500 option, even though the $2500 option is far superior :)
