Today I review a mic that uses a 1.25" capsule, the Lauten Audio FC387 Atlantis. This mic has a robust bass and low mids section, and 3 voicings that offer quite different top ends from vintage and dark to modern and articulate. It does suffer from resonance so if you're using it in a situation where you may bump it, you will have to be careful. If you are looking for a mic to use in small areas it may also not be the right choice for you because it's a big ol boy.

Today I review the brand new microphone from Aston, the Element. This microphone was voted on by 4,000 people in terms of the sound, offers active electronics so you can get a healthy signal without cranking your preamp. It is more of a full ribbon mic sound with a bit more extension int he upper end, but this causes a little bit of a V shape to it, and you will definitely need to use a high pass in most situations.

Today I review my favorite headphones I’ve reviewed so far, the Phillips SHP9500s. These are an amazing set of budget open back headphones that offer crystal clear highs, neutral midshipmen’s, but lack a bit in the lower frequencies. I love everything about them from the comfort to the sound, and for $60-$75, I don’t think you can go wrong picking these up.
