Speaking of microphones......here is the location for a unique "must have" microphones for your collection (well, at least you have to see to believe).

(Thanks to Greg Phelps (G Hobo Happy

for finding this internet addy)

I have not heard these mic's in person (just samples from the internet), but they look unique.

Frank,

Very interesting. I'm downloading one of the audio samples, now.

I am curious too, but downloading audio proves... nada. Obviously audio can be 'fixed' to sound awesome. Furthermore I know IKEA stores where they sell lamps like that for a lot less than $ 1954,= a piece plus shipping Laugh

Kidding ofcourse... love to have a demo... and a review in LEARN.

Poland is near the Netherlands... oh wait... I'm in the Dutch Antilles now.

A wooden mic?

It looks like an elaborate joke!

You never know, though.

It sounds nice, but you have to match it with a mahogany preamp.

They look like they're for elderly voice talent who are hard of talking.

Needless to say they are interesting. Maybe someone should ask about their demo policy....maybe I should.

It's based on the MKH416 as both sound great in an empty Voice over booth Laugh

The preamp/compressor doesn't have pots it's controlled by sandpaper. You just rub off the bits of audio you don't need. For -6db hard limiting you take it back to the grain and rub in some teak oil.

Interesting idea, but knot anything I wood really be pining for. Anyone spending their hard earned money on these is a sap.
