What pre amp do you use
We used the preamps on the Universal Audio X8P :)
200 bucks when I can just add a preamp or channel strip hmmm 🤔
you might be hard pressed to find a great preamp or channel strip for $200. This microphone is awesome for the money and will likely give you a much bigger sonic difference than another preamp would. Give us a call and we can discuss your setup and help you find your next piece of gear.
Thanks for the video! I'm wondering about the extra fun you mentioned: It seems like a great idea to buy and SD-3 and and SD-7 so I will have both set ot models. I would use SD-3 on the rack tom and SD-7 on the floor. I'm planning to use maybe the same Hemisphere mic models for each. How different is the SD-3 compared to the SD-7? What is your expereince? Can you achieve kind of the same with the same model used on a signal recorded with an SD-3 and an SD-7? I know they record differently a bit because of their polar pattern, and they have different rejection angles. But I don't get from the limited specification if there is really a big difference between them.
The SD3 is more mid forward with a softer top end. It is thicker and punchier (geared towards the sound you would want for rack toms). The SD7 has more upper mids and clarity to it, with good low mids and bottom, and more even mids (geared towards snare drum and floor toms). So they sound notably different. They all sound great on their own, so you can experiment with where you want to use the mics for their native character, and then you can play around with the different emulations for more tonal options. Don't look at it as a modeling mic, but a tonal system.
@@FrontEndAudio awesome, thank you very much fro the detailed answer!
I have purchased pair today, can I place it horizontally?? Any advise please??
Reach out to your sales rep and I am sure they will be able to help you.
@@FrontEndAudio thank u
PLEASE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE POLAR SETTINGS
Cardioid, Omnidirectional, and Figure-of-eight
Do they work without activation via antelope Laucher ?
No, they require activation first.
@@FrontEndAudio thanks 🙏
Thanks for the video. Are there any demos of this EQ out there? I haven't been able to find any.
We hope to have a demo soon. Subscribe and keep a watch. If you have any specific questions just let us know.
@@FrontEndAudio +1 on the demo. Would love to hear this eq doing its thing.
Jamie parks studio can I get this at guitar center cause this looks cool 😎
You can get it from us at Front End Audio!
Best one on the market! Love it
We agree!
This is fantastic. I joked about the purple, but I've been trying to get something like this forever, the only other alternative being the SSL X-Desk which is no longer in production. The 500 Series spacing makes this so dope. I really don't need the pre's but as long as the unit is transparent I'm IN. How much is the Fader mate upgrade?
The entire console hits the perfect balance of being clean, but having live and dimension. It is in no way sonically boring, but it respects the audio and maintains the integrity of the signal. Malcolms current designs and gear are very impressive.
can they make this in NOT PURPLE?
It actually looks much better in person than in photo or video. Obviously it won't be everyone's "cup of tea", but it does look really nice in person.
@@FrontEndAudio yeah ive seen other pics this looks dope. love it
@@user-fw6lm1tn5p i was only kinda kidding, i'm not worried about it, but at the same time i do think a more reasonable color scheme will sell more units. the functionality of the mixer is exactly what everyone needs. this is like the SSL X-desk. Runs the risk of being underappreciated but I think most people with a decent amount of gear working from home or in smaller production rooms will love this. I've been looking for something like this to be able to track through, and also occasionally track to an 8 track tape machine and this ticks all the boxes. I'm just weary of the tone of the unit, and just want something transparent. Looking forward to some reviews.
Thank you for all the work yall do
You are very welcome and glad you enjoy the videos!
The BEST !!! 👍
It doesn’t work! I’ve tried 4 evenings to pair my Pedal. At least still no answer from the UAD Support
Sorry you are experiencing trouble. We are certain that UA support will get back with you as quickly as possible and assist in resolving your issue(s). If you have not already tried, the pedal may need a firmware update, and also check the UAD forums. You might be able to find a solution there quickly.
🌹👑🌹👑🌹👑
this thing is huge omg
Yes much bigger than the original, but packed with features so it needs the room!
For mastering?
No. This is a recreation of the EQ from the Olympic Studios console (60s/70s era). It is more suited for tracking and mixing.
WHAT SPEED SHOULD THE USB 3.0 CABLE BE? Thank´s
Any USB C cable should work fine :)
Awesome! Yes. Let's hear it!
Awesome! Thank you!
Good luck Les!
How are these when used on a live stage?
Only used these in the studio. But given the off-axis rejection, and pre-tailored sound of the mic (all the SD series mics), we would believe them to sound great. Not sure if using the emulations live is feasible, but the mics sound great on their own, so no reason they can't be used in live sound.
Sir i also join miktek mk300 mic giveaway can u plz tell me when the result was announce plz 🙏
The winners were announced on IG and via email. Thanks!
Nice descriptive video. However something I haven’t seen anywhere!! Is how to use it as my everyday sound card? I’ve emailed avid and got nothing! I’ve read everything and watched every video I can. Nobody has an answer to help me. The only way so far is to reach around and turn off the speakers that I don’t want to use. Very strange that avid has no reply’s for me. I don’t want to return it, but if I can’t figure it out, I may have too.
All you should have to do is go into the system preferences for your OS and set the MBox as your default sound device. It also helps to disable any other audio devices so the MBox is the only sound device on your computer.
I subscribed
Thank you!
A thing of beauty…
These Direct Sound DS-74 Headphones are very good for listening from my walkman.
We are glad to hear you enjoy them!
Awesome giveaway. Thanks for the chance.
choose this over the Distressor?
Two different compressors. I think it comes down to intended application, as to which is better suited.
The phantom power light flashing as you step through the 200, 600, 2.4k is rather disturbing. That's not good for a mic.
Phantom Power is not active, and does not reach the mic until you switch the setting to "Mic +48V". Nothing to worry about when an LED is simply displaying a setting change has been made.
Can I Use This Mic Without an Universal Audio Interface On Windows PC?
Yes. I (Ryan) do not use a UA interface in my studio. I have a UAD-2 Octo PCIe card for all UAD plug-ins, and that is how I used the emulations.
@@FrontEndAudio Thanks But I Will Use In Windows And I Don't Have Any Product UA Anything
Interesting: whenever I’ve mounted mic boom arms to a drum rack, I get a heap of resonances from the mounted drums and cymbals through the rack and up into the mounted mics, so I’m guessing the non-isolating mic mounts would cause similar issues? Any thoughts on this …?
Personally I believe you should always use stands, and never mount a mic to a drum rim or drum rack. Point being that these mics are too heavy to rim mount, so if you are in a situation where stands are not possible, rack mounting would be the best solution. Using some form of isolation for the mic (shockmount, etc) would be highly recommended, but that is for the engineer and their available resources to resolve.
These look really interesting. Do you think these could give Josephson e22s a run for their money in terms of best tom mic?
Haven't sat the two side by side, so could not honestly make a statement on that.
I’d love to see a comparison video for E22s, Earthworks DM20, Shure Beta 181, and this mic.
@@tomnaumann2104 All great mics! We might have to add this to the demo list!
@@tomnaumann2104 yeah that would be awesome. I had a pair of the DM20s, but the bleed was much louder on the DM20 compared to the E22s so I ended up moving on from them. They sounded great, they just didn't hold a candle to the E22s. These Lauten Tom Mics, at least on paper, sound like they should be able to do the trick for a lot less money.
Came back here to say I ordered a pair from y’all, and they are the real deal. Full frequency response with excellent off-axis rejection. Josephsons are going to find their way onto reverb shortly.
Would like one of these to try
We have them in stock!
@@FrontEndAudio I just purchased the WA-CX12 from you guys last week. Sent it to Signal Art Electronics for a mod. Im going to wait until you guys do a demo video.
It is on our list. We just have other videos to finish shooting and editing. But, we will get a demo done as soon as we can.
I need a microphone for my gaming channel hope i win
Good luck!
Good for synths & drum machines as well? Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
please make me win this mic i really need it
Good luck!
To the point, thanks.
That would be amazing!
Good luck!
Awesome thanks for the opportunity
Good luck!
Why no audio demo? Cant find a single demo of Grimm on entire internet
Not really sure that it would translate well with all the encoding and compression. If we discover anything to the contrary there, we will be sure to do something.
I just ordered this monster and the legendary Neumann U87. Also with the audiointerface Audient ID44 & Klark Teknik KT-2A Tube Compressor. Now we are talking business! Thanks for such a great review, I am more and more confident that I did really buy the best preamp! All the best
Glad you found out review helpful. It is a really great preamp and very tonally flexible. Hope you get a lot of great music made with it!
Hello, I tried connecting an Apollo interface to my PC using a Thunderbolt connection about a year ago. Despite my motherboard having a Thunderbolt input, the drivers didn't function properly and caused my PC to crash. I encountered difficulties using it with discord. Have you updated the drivers for all Apollo interfaces to enhance compatibility with Windows, or was it just for this specific model? Thank you for your response; I'm still eagerly considering purchasing one.
This new USB version has an updated driver for Windows so you shouldn't have that same issue :)
If you are going to order one of these units (or anything) - do it with these guys. They will take care of you. Class act
Thanks Ryan we appreciate your support!
If it sounds 1/2 as good as it looks it’s fantastic!
We hope to have an audio demo up soon!
Good.
Please actually use the mic.
We have two demo videos of this mic. You can see them here: ua-cam.com/video/VFavmXWAfYk/v-deo.html and here: ua-cam.com/video/mW2eYvDUlFs/v-deo.html Thank you!
Thanks for the demo, but it's too polite! Need to crush things if you're going to demo an 1176, and the Lindell crushes quite well. Any compressor sounds good with a slow release like in this video, but crushing is where the hardware shines above the plugins.
Oh no, you said it's Swedish! lol TubeTech is Danish...
Sorry for the mistake! :)
i tried for days but i cannot register the pedal, it always says i should check my nternet connection but that is fine. what can i do??
Best thing to do is log into your account at the UA website and open a support ticket. UA's tech support can trouble shoot with you to resolve the problem.
Would you say this microphone is more on the V11 side or the V67 regarding how dark or bright it is?
It's kind of in between the two, though not as dark as the V11. So slightly leans more towards 67.
I have a question....i was wondering is the output mono or stereo for my mx pro 60
The 1977 is a mono channel strip. Thank you!
