In this video we test out the amazing Mesanovic Model 2 ribbon microphone on electric guitar. We've had the Model 2 for a few weeks here in our studio, and we wanted to compare it to a classic mic that most of you have heard on tons of records: the Royer Labs R-121. Helping us on electric guitar is the one and only Eddie Berman!

This blind Ribbon Microphone shootout features the Shure KSM 313, Royer R121, Coles 4038, and AEA R84 - all four of which are eligible for our three-year extended warranty. In addition to providing audio clips of each microphone, we explain the importance of mic placement during more precise A/B comparisons. If you'd like the results of the shootout and full length hi-res audio clips, want to set up a demo period with one of the mics, or just want to talk more about gear or plan your next studio upgrade, feel free to shoot us a quick email at mics@soundpure.com or give us a call at anytime. Thanks for watching!

This Royer Labs 121 Ribbon Microphone and Royer 101 mic video demonstration compares and contrasts some of the differences between the two microphones on an electric guitar amplifier. Jason Richmond, SoundPure Studio's head engineer, discusses the differences between the tones, frequency spectrums, and possible applications. The Royer 101 is great for live applications as well as studio applications. Thanks to Guitarist Scott Sawyer for his great playing.

Royer R121 Ribbon microphones capture a gorgeous George Lowden F32 Acoustic guitar featuring Sitka Spruce Top with Indian Rosewood backs and sides. It is recorded using a spaced matched pair of Royer R121 Ribbon Microphones (reversed), through an AEA RPQ Ribbon Microphone Preamp with polarity reversed, and EQ shelf engaged. Royer R121s are a world standard ribbon mic, most famous for recording electric guitar amps, but in this demo, their versatility is demonstrated impressively with an acoustic guitar (not your typical ribbon microphone choice). They were perfectly paired with one of the most ideal preamps, an AEA RPQ which has the just the right amount of tonal/EQ control, which we used to dial in the traditional fall-off of a ribbon microphone in the high frequency area by boosting 50% at 6Khz. This result gave us a really natural interpretation of the guitar, which was beautifully captured by the microphones, just a little lacking in top-end presence. While the ribbons have a smooth character which can take quite a bit of EQing, and this preamps EQ shelf is wonderfully transparent in nature, the two combined to produce an accurate sound of this instrument- it is an articulate, harmonically complex medium-bodied guitar with extraordinary punch and sustain. Another George Lowden Acoustic Guitar masterpiece. Call us at Sound Pure anytime to discuss this guitar, our recording techniques, or the recording gear that we sell, toll free 888-528-9703

Moog's newest MF-104M Analog Delay Pedal is more than just a revision to the now discontinued MF-104 line of Analog Delay Pedals, it is an improvement upon an already very impressive model. Not only can it still offer all the same functions of it's predecessors, but takes into account everything that was missing or desired from its' devoted loyalists. With 800 MS of Analog Delay, a new 6 Waveshape LFO, complete MIDI control, astounding new capabilities with a Tap Tempo function and the amazing new Spillover Mode, this incredible achievement in audio engineering cannot be overlooked. With the pedal set to Spillover Mode, you can control whether your delay trails continue after bypassing the delay or come to a stop, all completely on the fly while playing. Not to mention, it's still Moog Analog Delay, the beyond comparison, king of kings of analog delay. These pedals even use the same vintage "Bucket Brigade" chips that were so hard to come by in the past.There are also CV/Expression Pedal inputs on the back panel to provide hands free control and manipulation of Time, Rate, Feedback, Amount, and Mix. Of course, with any of the Moogerfoogers, you can connect Moog EP2 expression pedals to any of these CV/Expression inputs to control functions, or connect other Moog Pedals and create entirely new sonic creations. The Feedback Insert also provides further utility, if you need to patch in other stomp boxes or outboard effects onto the same line as the delay, opening up even more flexibility with whatever you want to create. This fantastic Analog Delay Pedal from Moog will only be available for a limited time, so don't miss your chance to own a piece of Analog history!
