First of all, most people would wonder why I should comment extensively on a microphone valued at under $200, but I would clearly explain that many $500 - $1000 mics are in fact various versions of inexpensive and similar microphones to a B2 Pro. The word is out. The recent wave of decent quality large and small plate condenser mics which proliferate the market now, are indeed Chinese, Japanese made microphones in whole or in some part. I personally will not knowingly misrepresent the facts or deceive my customers and friends into buying expensive name mics dressed up with fancy marketing. However in this business one can name "names" of good things only if you say nice things. I will comment about the real bargains which exist, and possibly alienate those people who are prejudiced towards fancy, expensive name equipment. Years from now the truth will become more obvious about the amazing quality of some "cheaper" brands. Certainly if one keeps an open mind ...Read Full Article
Read Full ArticleDetails of our modification to the Behringer Composer, which lowers the noise floor and distortion levels and smooths out the controls.
The older Behringer Composer MDX 2100 has a heavy chassis and very high quality controls. People refuse to believe how good this unit is! It is virtually identical to the Boss CL-50, DBX 160xt, DBX 166, 266, 166xl, etc. In fact, the same DBX VCA, opamps, and controls are in use here, and even the rack ears fit DBX equipment. It looks like these were made in the same factory ...Read Full Article

The modification we do reduces the noise floor slightly for consumer use. The original design was intended for use with professional +4dB signal levels, but consumer devices typically operate at -10dB.

Read Full ArticleI will comment about how my modified Bellari compressor works due to the fact that no other compressor exists that works quite like it. It uses both an optical vactrol style attenuator as well in the same circuit an audio transformer (originally a decent Beyer mic transformer) is used as a variable impedance transformer or "filter reactor" style design to assist in compression and equalization as the signal level is compressed....Read Full Article

Although the Electrix Repeater is a great tool/instrument, there are several things that can be done to make it even better. Vince's modification takes care of many clicking noises made by the clocking circuit. As well as greatly reducing these noises, the modification also reduces the hum floor. The overall improvement is about a 10-20 dB drop in the overall noise. More importantly, this modification gives the Repeater increased clarity and more dynamic range. These changes greatly improve the sound when overdubbing....Read Full Article
