Couple of static microphones

Accuracy Clarity

"Overhead...

One of the great references of the genre on stage or in the studio

Specially designed for multi-purpose use, this pair of 'matched cigar' static microphones delivers flawless reproduction of the entire audio spectrum, with exemplary clarity and fidelity.

Recording session (San Francisco 2023)

Stereo X/Y or overhead use

22mm capsule, straddling the line between small and medium, for a high signal-to-noise ratio while retaining an extremely wide, linear bandwidth. A low-cut filter of 12dB/octave at 100Hz to attenuate any 'sub-bass' that may be undesirable in certain situations.

duo A1s are incredibly effective on string, wind and percussion instruments, often used on drum overheads, acoustic guitars and pianos. As well as on choir recordings, orchestras and all types of ambience.

Benjamin FLAMENT

Percussionist

"I use the A1 mics as overheads on various percussion instruments. The versatility is enormous. The frequency response is wide with nice highs. All in all, simple mics that do the job as well as the best! "

Compared to the biggest brands on the market

Used singly or in pairs, its high precision and 'flat' frequency response will enable it to replace the famous German cigar at an unaffordable price!

Lionel Suarez

Accordionist

"The A1 duo is a marvel... I use it in XY in front of my accordion for a stereo image that's not too wide, allowing me to move the space of my instrument coherently and very, very naturally... I highly recommend it... Thank you Prodipe"

The 'research and development' was carried out in France, in active collaboration with the indispensable French sound engineer Ludovic Lanen

"For over 30 years, I've been trusting my ears rather than a price tag, because quality is theonly thing that matters tome! I've tested and compared over a hundred cells. Many of them were much more expensive, less good and less efficient than the one I selected and optimised to develop this microphone, the performance of which I guarantee

Comparison

par Michel FRANÇOISE

Duo A1 / AKG C451 B / Neumann 184

Each sequence is the same place, same guitar (JRK), same music, same tempo, same preamp, same musician... Only the equalisation changes (a little) according to my tastes... Good music !!!...
