SM7B - This dynamic mic has become our go-to for all lead vocals. As the bands we record get bigger, so does the need to isolate vocals as much as possible. The SM7B provides great off-axis rejection from the rest of the room. You can place it on-axis to the singer's mouth, or just off it... either way it sounds great and gives nice warmth to any tone. It also works nicely on bass cabs!

KSM32 - This large, single diaphragm condenser mic is ideal for capturing the room tones of your given space. We like to place a couple of them up on either side of the room and pan them out in the mix. It really opens the whole recording up. With a full frequency response, these also sound great on strings and low-level amps.

KSM137 - When it comes to the acoustic guitars, we can't find a better mic than this small-diaphragm condenser. It handles high SPL's great and sounds amazing when placed at the end of the neck just next to the sound hole…or the "sweet spot", as some call it. Because it provides great off-axis rejection, it's great in live applications, too! It's also works nicely on high hats and drum overheads.

BETA 56A - This durable dynamic mic works perfectly on hand percussion. Bongos, congas, shakers…even toms and snares! Its design is one of the best we've ever come across for use in mic'ing up bands in tight quarters. Just place it on-axis to any drum head, keep a nice moderate level and you're good to go. These are also nice on horns and keyboard amps.

BETA 52A - One of the most important elements to a great recoding is how you capture your low frequencies. This dynamic mic is tailor made for just that. Throw it in front of your kick drum or on your bass cab and you'll hear what we mean. It really provides an amazing punch and holds up wonderfully even at high SPL's.
