NAMM 2024 - Roswell - Micparts - Mini K47x - Mini K67x

At NAMM 2024, Sonic State caught up with Matthew at Roswell Pro Audio to get a look at their new microphone offerings. Matt's other company is Micparts, a company that specializes in DIY microphone kits, and they have a line of small diaphragm mics that they were showcasing at NAMM. These small diaphragm mics all share the same housing but come in three different variations, one based on the Schoeps CMC 5, one based on the Neumann KM84, and the third called the Snare Mic which is designed specifically for capturing snare drum recordings and features input attenuation, high-pass filtering, and output attenuation to handle the loud levels produced by the snare drum.
If Soldering isn't your thing, Roswell Pro Audio offers a fully built line of microphones. They recently introduced two new additions to their Mini-K line, the 47x and the 67x. These large diaphragm mics are small in size and each feature different voicings, circuit designs, and capsules. The Mini K47x has a vintage voicing with bloom in the upper mid-range, while the Mini K67x has a carefully tuned capsule designed to give a flat response throughout the entire range, helping combat nasality and sibilance without relying on electronic EQ. Both mics use high-quality components and feature a large output transformer.

Snare Mic Price 499 USD
SDC Microphone Kit - Schoeps CMC5 Style Price: 359 USD

Nice to see this coverage, thanks sonicstate! I bought my first MP DIY kits a couple of months ago and a) even though they were listed as more on the challenging side, they were turned out beautifully with no problems b) plus they really sound great!

Brilliant! The digitally controlled parameters and recall portend the possibility of a digitally controlled 500 series chassis (500RD)? As an owner of the Wes Audio 500 series modules and Titan chassis and a Cranborne 500R chassis, I often hoped for a collaboration - or since Wes Audio’s control data is open for developers to use in their product development to create digitally controlled modules utilizing the ng500 connection - Cranborne’s adoption of the ng500 connector to use in either a new digitally controlled Cranborne chassis or the Wes Audio ng500 series chassis
