PROMO - The 416 an Industry standard...
The Pro Audio Suite
The Sennheiser 416 has become an industry-standard tool. Being a “shotgun” mic (or in tech terms a super-cardioid) the microphone is really sensitive in a very narrow space, in a line extending straight out from the tip. For this reason, it is often used on film sets where the mic needs to be a little farther away from the actor’s mouth (so it’s not in the frame), and the production team wants to capture the actor’s voice without capturing background noise in the room. These qualities also make it extremely versatile for use in home voiceover studios! But who first...

The Home Studio Of The Future
The Pro Audio Suite
It started with just a select few, then it grew in popularity to become a trend, and these days, guys like our very own George "the Tech" Whittam are installing home studios at a rate of knots while others create their own acoustically treated paradise in the basement. So what's next? What does the future hold, and can we ever recoup the costs by charging our clients to use them?? A big shout out to our sponsors, Austrian Audio and Tri Booth.

Whats your signature sound?
The Pro Audio Suite
Perhaps it's a quirk in your 416 that sits perfectly with your voice. Is it an anomaly in your room that adds that special something to your voice, or is it where you position the mic that just has you humming? A signature sound isn't essential, but most engineers have one (achieved through compression and eq admittedly). There's no reason your home studio can't have one too. "As long as it sounds good, it is good" as the saying goes... A big shout out to our sponsors, Austrian Audio and Tri Booth.

info_outlineWhen you talk about pedigree, Des Decean is the antipathies when it comes to building Radio studios...
Des is one of Australia’s most qualified and respected engineers. He has been instrumental in the introduction and launch of Digital Radio in Australia, and back in 1980, Des was the very first employee of Austereo when commercial FM radio was first launched in Australia.
As chief engineer, Des built SA FM in Adelaide into one of Australia’s first FM stations. He was a member of the Acquisition Team when Austereo acquired Fox, B105, 2DAY FM and the Triple M network. With the merger of the Triple M and Austereo networks, Des project managed the simultaneous relocation of Triple M Adelaide, Triple M Melbourne and 2DAY FM Sydney studios.
In 1988, Des was appointed to the first Ministerial Committee on Digital Radio as the representative for Commercial Radio Australia and he was inducted into the Australian Radio Hall of Fame in 2009.
So when we wanted to do a show on Room ratios, and building challenging rooms in general, where did we turn? Where else...
