After I heard the Fender Hot Rod amp with your mics, I erased every guitar part on the track and started over. Your mics sound so good, it was the only choice I could make. You have a great product! - Jim Messina |
The MP3 samples were recorded by the Disney Quartet on the live-to-air jazz concert for a local public radio station in Orlando Fl. John Marsden put up the Cascade X-15 stereo ribbon (which was responsible for 75% of the signal) in a X-Y configuration along with the FAT HEAD as a mono and let the musicians do what they do best. John's reaction: WOW - total warmth with air on top - you can hear where every musician is located and all the subtleties of their playing - and the self compression of these mics is just so SWEET!! | |||||||||

| Ken Wallace is a Grammy Award winning recording & mix engineer with credits on a number of Gold and Platinum albums. .Ken particularly likes recording a live rhythm section, playing in the studio. He says, "It's more challenging, to make a better sounding recording." His emphasis is always on accurate mic techniques, unique room effects, and bringing as much personality to a session as possible. | Neil's talents have led Neil to work with Steve Vai, Steve Lukather, and Larry Carlton among others. He is a Grammy award winning engineer who especially likes his FAT HEADS as drum overheads and on guitar amps. Neil told us that he is especially happy with the FAT HEADS as overheads on his drum recordings, and was really impressed with the image of the drum set that they presented. | |||||||||

These are samples that Mike recordered for the Majestic Silver Strings project featuring Buddy Miller, Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot and Greg Leisz. | Terry Holder is an accomplished Northwest musician who has been a finalist in the Wildflower and Kerrville folk festivals.We have found that Terry makes a great test subject for our microphones. | |||||||||

Quote: "From the very first time I demoed a Cascade Ribbon
Microphone I knew that they would be perfect for my live
set-up for my group "Flogging Molly" and a great addition to
our studio set-up. These mics are a no-brainer when you are
after a natural warm sound." |

Samples were recorded using Neve Portico 5012 preamp. We used two (new, out of the box) Reissue Fender Deluxe Reverb amps with consecutive serial numbers. In addition we also used a Radial Big Shot switcher to divide the guitar signal equally into the two amps. The samples were recorded direct to hard disk with no EQ or compression. It's our opinion that this method offers a very effective way to record multiple samples for comparison. The fact that we used two separate matching amps with isolation represents a more accurate difference between the microphone and transformer options as where positioning two microphones on one amp can produce bleed and skew the true results. | ||||||||
