AUDIX CONDENSER MICROPHONES
Not many production people know about this American microphone company, so I premiered their unique product line at
the NAB 2004 show. What’s so unique? Well, for starters, an entire line of micro microphones including a high quality
micro shotgun mic that weighs only 2 ounces and will surprise not only your ears, but your wallet as well. This mic is perfect
as an on-board camera mic for mini camcorders, but I’ve also used it on a boom pole. But that’s not all! Also in this line are
condenser mics that are only 2 and 4 inches long by 7/16 diameter. The SCX-One is their top of the line 1/2” diaphragm,
interchangeable capsule condenser mic that is just over 4 inches long and 4 ounces. The capsules are manufactured in
Germany, the electronics & body in the U.S. It may be small, but this is one sweet sounding mic at a very sweet price.

 ULTRASONE MONITOR HEADPHONES
What’s the most important piece of equipment you take with you? A beloved microphone? Your hot new mixer? Arguably,
it could be something you probably take for granted. Your Headphones! Why? Would you dare to do a recording without
listening to the audio? Of course not. You set your mic positioning, evaluate ambient noise, determine the need for low cut
filtering, or if you have lav mics with variable frequency responses, you evaluate what response is best for a given voice
and situation, all by listening to your phones. But are your phones telling you the truth? Is that rumble really that loud, or is
it louder than you think? Is that voice really that sibilant, or is it more than your phones are telling you?
Read my comments on the need for monitoring standards.
