Mercenary Audio's AK4272 Rack packs four additional Neve 1272 modules from the same period into an updated package. They're fitted with a super-beefy power supply and all the trimmings. The result of all these efforts is one of the world's most accurate and desirable mic preamps. It sounds wonderful. The quality and speed it delivers makes it particularly suited for classical, remote, vocal, acoustic guitar and percussion tracking.
Microphones define the quality and character of every voice and instrument they record.
Studio Dual's mic collection is carefully selected, comprehensive and still growing. The Neumann M149 vacuum tube mic, which entered production in 1996, is the first tube mic Neumann has introduced since 1964. B.L.U.E.'s Bottle Mic is radical- probably the largest mic in production, larger even than the venerable RCA 44, with a system of interchangeable capsules offering an immense range of sonorities, all great. The 9160 power supply more than matches the mic in innovation and quality, incorporating ramped power-up, adjustable filament voltage and more. This is one of our favorites.
