Sound Waves In Percussion Instruments

This is a work horse mic used by every sound engineer to record any type of instruments:brass, percussion, etc.

In my project studio I record various acoustic instruments such as guitar, upright bass and violin. I also record vocals and various hand percussion. I have traditionally used small condensers such as Neumann KM 184's and AKG C451-B's but was craving the sound that only a large diaphragm can deliver. I love AKG products especially those built in Vienna. So far have only used the 214 on vocals, acoustic guitar and middle eastern percussion and it more than met my expectations. I love the AKG sound. To me AKG's are not as transparent as Neumann BUT that is what I dig about it..it brings a bit of color and an openness. At the price point..this is a must have mic..you can never go wrong with AKG

The sound reproduction is excellent. I can hear all instruments clearly

When you need to run instruments through your sound system, you have to have at least one and in our case six.

When the brass, woodwind and large percussion orchestra filled the 600 seat auditorium with raucous music for Honegger's King David, the speaking parts within our 100 member community chorus didn't stand a chance of being heard. All our funds had been spent on orchestra and soloists. But the hall had a sound system, and I had a guiet old field mixer. I also had experience with a predecessor of the OLM-10. I took a chance and ordered six. For less than $150, they delivered excellent sound from voices among the singers. The omnidirectional pattern made for evenness with untrained performers. Their self-powering and 20' cords made hook-up very easy. Congratulations Pearstone!

The Korg Volca Drum is a super fun & creative percussion synthesizer. This Volca definitely is unique. It offers six parts each with layers of two individual sounds per part that can be edited separately or together. Programming is very immediate and the controls invite tweaking without having read the manual. However there are a few settings that aren't immediately intuitive which are accessed with the edit/step button and then scrolled through by the select/parameter knob. These potentially overlooked settings really do add to the sound giving bit reduction, wave folding, overdrive, panning, and gain adjustment. The three distortions here add a bit of grit to the sound and in my experience don't degrade the sound too much either, being mostly consistently useable at maximum settings. The motion record opens up the sound design potential quite a bit even if it is a shame that motion recording isn't available for the resonator parameters. I especially enjoy motion recording the rate of the LFO modifier. So many types of synthetic percussion can be made with this synth and, with choke groups, you can treat multiple sounds as a single instrument set. Programming on the Volca Drum is a joy. I plan on holding onto mine probably forever.

My first cart still working, I use to hall my drum set, percussion set, sound system, 3 to 4 times a week, it is a great cart.

I use this to monitor everything from speakers to instruments to bands. Great sound quality!

This was our first purchase of Waves plugins and we are thoroughly impressed with the plugins that are included. Being a drummer myself, I especially like the Eddie Kramer drum plugin. It is super easy to use and dial in just the right sound for drums with that classic rock sound. Also, another great addition is the V-EQ3 which is based on the vintage 1066 and 1073 Neve consoles. Great plugins at a great price for a marvelous bundle. Designed for the modern professional who is working to achieve analog studio-quality inside the new digital audio technology world. Looking forward to upgrading to the Platinum bundle when we can. Thanks for carrying the Waves plugins B&H!

Nice separation between instruments with these headphones. Sound is not neutral, but I really enjoy Marshall’s sound signature. It’s warm, but not dark and muddy, if that makes sense; not hot fudge, but more of a creme brûlée. I watch movies, listen to sleep hypnosis, and fill my ears with post-rock and jazz. Everything sounds rich and clear on all formats. Furthermore, I can listen for hours with no ear fatigue, partially due to the fact that they’re also lightweight and comfortable. For the record, I already own the Emberton speaker and am enjoying it so much that I decided to try these headphones too. Both pack a great bang for your buck, in my opinion. Anyway, I recommend these or any of their products. I expect to try more myself in the future.
