Having had the good fortune to have actually heard and used some great high end professional studio mics, I admit have been somewhat skeptical of "Modeling"...It seems however that despite any misgivings I personally may harbor, the relentless march of technology keeps moving forward
So this is an interesting video about the new Townsend Labs microphone "system"
While not cheap at $1500, "IF" it does in fact get you anywhere near the sounds of the legendary mics it is modeling, it could be a real bargain
This video was released when it was still in the pre production stage and seeking "crowd funding" . Since it is listed to be in stock soon at both Sweetwater and Vintage King it appears that the production run is underway
