One microphone, many applications

You may be looking for a great microphone with a specific purpose, but what if you can have a microphone that sounds great in many applications? Our customer feedback has proven the Horizon can be that mic. From Grammy-winning producers to small and home studio owners, we have received positive feedback on many applications. Everything from killer guitar amps, mix-cutting vocals, tight snare drums, rich acoustic guitars, and even instruments like concertina and mandolin. Horizon owners have spoken: It will perform for you.

Perfect in any studio, home or commercial

Each microphone comes with a shock mount and hard mount to meet the challenges of any studio. The hard mount is perfect for tight spaces or close micing. The shock mount reduces excessive noise caused by foot tapping or outside noise. You get added versatility from the shock mounted capsule. This reduces external vibrations no matter which mount you use.

Excellent performance on-stage

Think you can’t use a large diaphragm tube mic on stage? Think again! The Horizon tube microphone has proven to be an excellent microphone for live sound recording. With superb off-axis rejection, the bleed from other instruments is minimized. Multiple mounting options make the Horizon easy to place. The mounts and the shock-mounted capsule eliminate noise problems often found with other microphones.

Expensive preamp optional

With approximately 10dB higher output, you won’t need to rely on expensive preamplifiers to achieve great sound. Two attenuation choices reduce amplitude by 10 or 20 decibels with no sound distortion. These features help you achieve superior results on a large variety of instruments and voices.

Rugged build quality

Hold the Horizon Tube Microphone in your hand, and you can feel the quality. Built from a solid piece of brass, the body is extremely rugged. The lollipop style head is designed to withstand a hard lick from a drum stick. A robust build quality is necessary to handle years of studio use and protect the premium electronics inside.

High-end electronics

Internally, the Horizon Tube Microphone features a carefully constructed capsule which accurately captures sound waves. The military grade vacuum tube generates a fantastic tone. Finally, the world’s finest capacitors and precision wound output transformer offer exceptional performance and clarity.

In this blog we will discuss and review some of the best mics for recording vocals. We encourage you to join in the conversation with some of your first hand experience. We will also look at the vocal chain (ie. EQ’s Mic-Pre’s, Compression etc.) and see what combinations are working best. Of course, we would also like to add our two cents when it come to purchasing your recording microphones. For over 20 years I have dealt almost exclusively with Boynton Pro Audio located in upstate NY and selling pro audio gear since 1953. ( Man, that’s older than me.) 

As with most singers and musicians starting out, it is hard to afford the real high end vocal microphones such as a Nuemann U87ai. However, in todays world there are many mics that are reasonably priced that sound great. We will cover the gammitt from inexpensive to high end microphones.

Coming this week!
