Back from London and AES

So I'm back from the AES convention in London.

The "Single-unit surround microphone" workshop went really well. We had some different recordings to choose from, but a Händel concert that I got from Andreas Scholl (german world-class countertenor) sounded absolutely amazing, so we decided to only use that and play a full five-minute piece instead of different short demos as we had intended from the start.

Mikkel Nymand of DPA and Helmut Wittek of Schoeps presented their surround solutions and all in all it was an interesting workshop with some nice sounding demos.

In the afternoon our distributor had arranged a meeting with the BBC (at Maida Vale) and their chief engineer was kind enough to give us a two-hour tour of the studios. Very interesting. They use some of our mics there.

Later that night I was invited to see the musical Jersey Boys and got to sit with the sound engineer, Digby Shaw, for the entire show. It was a great show and for me it was very interesting to get a backstage view of the production and to see Digby work. You need multitask talents to be able to handle that kind of work for sure.

Pro Sound News Europe

I'm quoted in an article about microphones for string and brass instruments in the latest issue of Pro Sound News Europe.

Read the article here (pages 40-43): http://cde.cerosmedia.com/1Q4bd700da4f2a7671.cde

There is also a nice image on page 40 of the VM-44 Link fitted on a saxophone with our sax clamp.
