“The
CR-14 is a “real deal” ribbon mic with all
the natural sound I expect to capture from a
classic. It is
my new “go to” mic for a warm deep rich
tone, rivaling ANY of my vintage classic
ribbons.”
Ray Kennedy
PRODUCER/ENGINEER
(Steve
Earle, Ray Davies, Emmylou Harris, Chuck
Mead, John Mellencamp, Lucinda Williams)
“When
it comes to capturing the sound of an
instrument with a lot of mid-prescence, the
accuracy of the CR-14 is unbeatable...I
am using it mainly on saxophone and my
Hammond organ, but it also did a remarkable
job on my own voice as well as other
vocalists...”
