Hey Ryan, thanks for these videos ! You really dug into the interesting and useful features of upcoming gear ! It's a really cool approach compared to most of the NAMM videos I've come across !
Thanks! I figured I might have been crazy to get long interviews and audio feeds from the gear for demos. But no one else is doing that I don’t think...so why not me. I was super into it and pumped.
I quite enjoyed getting asked questions about application. That's something a lot of guys aren't doing, I got asked a lot of questions about capacitor brands and "what is this modeled after", i.e. question about the gear itself. I think that's the wrong approach. What Ryan gets to (and is the crux of why we build gear in the first place!) is WHY and HOW gear is useful in the studio. I think that's far more valuable than noise specs, FR charts, etc. Thanks for interviewing us and putting up with my NAMM exhaustion/incoherence, Ryan! -DEREK
What? :D Jet engine o-rings. That's really cool. :D As long as you don't run hypergolics near them at temperatures below freezing... in case anyone follows the history of o-rings in space flight. ;) Love the engineering details all over these wonderful mics.
The V4 is a nice mic. I liked it. I'll post a video next week of someone singing into the v44s, which is the same circuit and capsule, just a stereo version. The M4 has more lows than the Lewitt I think. M4 is the closest thing I've heard to my 414B-ULS. Lewitt works on anything, and has less prox effect, so better for untreated rooms. The vocalist will need to be closer, thus less room. Both are neutral and are better than vocal mics that I had even a couple years ago.
Great video. Great humor and I really appreciate the thoughtfulness of what he does and why. Worth a shot!
I'm really enjoying this namm series, thanks Ryan.
love the passion for the gear and the work that makes great gear
Yeah me too. Love the small companies that have this passion.
Thanks for excusing the rambling :)
Promising innovation here. Great stuff
Thanks! I'd be bored if my job was derivative instead of original.

Very interesting... I'm looking to try the V4 because the price point range vs or in comparison with Aston / Lewitt / Black Lauten.

That Derek sounded a bit arrogant. Amen to you... 🤔
