Timber Tones Microphones ?
Anybody every used one of these?
I saw one in a demo over at UMGF and had jumped to the conclusion (I blame the old peepers) that it was another ETL - but no. https://www.timbretones.com/ Some demos, as well as a link to the basis ("Alice"). Interesting stuff.

The mics are wonderful to look at and surprisingly inexpensive. The video demos, though, sound pinched and telephone-y to me. Enough so that I'd have to do a hands-on trial before I'd buy or recommend them.

I do agree the videos did not sell me a mic. I've got several already that sound that good, but those look nice  .I'd like to see them in use live. The Ear Trumpet Labs that I've seen have been pretty impressive, but I have to say the groups using them have been exceptional, so...

I am pretty sure the main target of ETL is live use, where the visual aspects of the mic are on display. They look cool, and sound better than an SM58. Honestly, if I got an outdoor recording gig, I wouldn't mind having one just to be in the club

This brings up something I've noticed over the past year. I'm seeing more and more performers using condenser mics for live performances than I've seen before. I'd even go so far to say that I've seen more people use condensers on stage in the past year than in all other years combined. Not sure what's driving that or if I'm imagining the trend.

https://microphone-parts.com/product...ectret-capsule The "look" of a mic impresses some spectators, witness the popularity of all the plumbing fixture performances. Not that a condenser isn't capable of sounding good, just that some folks are willing to work more closely with their sound reinforcement to accommodate the look. There's a reason why we've seen the vast majority of live stuff done with 57s and 58s for so long. Last edited by Rudy4; 06-27-2019 at 06:42 AM.
