Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- Join Roswell founder Matt McGlynn for a live studio session to demonstrate the Mini K47 and Mini K87 on acoustic guitar, vocals, and cajon. This is the first of a series of "virtual showroom" studio livestream events that will give you a center-console seat during the tracking of a full song: acoustic guitar, vocals, percussion, drums, bass, and more.
The setting is Ulitmate Studios, Inc., in Los Angeles. Huge thanks to Charlie Waymire and Ernesto Homeyer for hosting the most complex livestream we've ever done!
The artists are Adam Gimenez and Anthony Nino Salazar of Iron Point. Learn more about the band: / ironpointband
Future Virtual Showroom livestream schedule:
Nov 19 - drums
Dec 3 - guitars
... with more dates TBA.
Tune in at 7pm PT Thursday nights on Roswell Pro Audio's UA-cam channel:

Song was great! The 87 keeps blowing me away video by video lol it sounds so buttery 🤤
Great job with this..👍
Really enjoyed this live session, first one I’ve seen. Will look forward to more. Great microphones!
Nice video. Very Human. Love the mics.
Looking forward to hearing the Mini K47 KD, and some more Colares. I Love the Colares!
That custom shop will be 😱🤯🤯🤯
God! I just love that k47!
If you plan on doing Voice Over builds, it would be cool to see your mic line tested and reviewed by Mike Delgaudio on the Booth Junkie channel!
One of the most informative videos I've ever seen. I don't know if I missed it, but can you share your signal path?
In nearly every case, we plug the mics directly into the Trident console, using input channels with no transformers. I don't recall any sessions where outboard gear was used in the signal chain, but if there were, Charlie would have described it. When the Trident's EQ is used, we talk about it in the video. We usually add some bus compression for the stream, but usually not on individual tracks. The point of all this is to keep to a minimalistic signal path, so that people can hear what the mics sound like.
Great video thanks for doing it. Currently looking at these mics from the UK. We have limited supplier access to the brand over here and zero chance of auditioning. Which would you say would better suit a bit of a brittle harsher vocal? I struggle to find a good sounding mic for my voice (mainly because its not great haha). The 87 sounded softer to me on the vocalist in the vid (in a good way), but so hard to really tell from UA-cam.
SX Pro should have these models in stock. Contact them for audition opportunities. For taming a harsh source, I'd go with the Mini K87. Issues like harshness, nasality, sibilance tend to be exaggerated by mics that have any sort of presence bump, in my experience, so I recommend a more neutral mic for such sources. (To be fair, sometimes a performance issue can't be fixed by gear, but only by technique. Still, picking the right mic to complement a particular voice gets you at least part of the way towards a usable if not great track.)
@@RoswellProAudio Thanks for the brilliant advice. Will check out SX! Cheers :-)
the hoeses for courses thing 47 for high energy faster stuff 87 for spaced moody stuff, sonics are tied into energy for me , cutting for more power smoother for slower, cant wait to try these into my prism lyra
If you could do the same video with the X version of these mics
Can't find an In-depth videos like yours with the X versions
Just shortly after 57:18 where Charlie switches over to the 87 mix it suddenly shifts into an Audioslave dimension where everything seems naturally mixed but little parts can just poke through. That's interesting. It's definitely bass heavy but not in a boomy uncontrolled flubby sub 180hz way. That mic reminds me of a 67's response more than an 87 which, to me, is more desirable. Very interested in what Matt said about custom tuning a mic for more/less sensitivity.
Thanks for listening carefully! We were shooting for more of a U67 curve* here, not a U87 curve. ** the U67 had a surprisingly flat response, so the use of the word "curve" here is traditional rather than descriptive.
I sorta found the 87 to sound “boring” , I mean the 87 is nice still! But I’m surprised because like the u87 more then a u47… maybe I’m thinking differently now
Where could I find these mics in the European Union? Thanks!
We ship worldwide, direct from the Roswell Pro Audio factory. Order at RoswellProAudio.com. See also the dealer listing on the Roswell website.
how does your k87 compare to the warm audio wa-87? spec wise ?
I've never compared them directly, but I remember seeing a review in SOS that said the WA mic was brighter than a U87 Ai. The Mini K87 is more neutral than a U87 Ai, so I would conclude that the Mini K87 has a much smoother top end than the WA mic. IMO, the sound of a mic, specifically including the frequency response, is the most important 'spec' there is. :-)
