wanya7's Hip Hop Studio Setup

Made with Genuine Vintage Original Capsule, Tube & Transformer of the Vintage Neumann Telefunken U47 Wired and Hand-Tuned the Old Fashion way with a Touch of Martin Kantola's Secret MAGIC

Designed & Handcrafted in a Natural Wooden Body by: Martin Kantola - Technician & Designer to Bruce Swedien (Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson)

This was Bruce Swedien's Favorite Vocal Mic for Classic Vocals done in a Modern Setting out of ALL of his 100+ Microphones

A Modern Quiet version on The Telefunken ELA-M 251

Warm Smooth - Exceedingly Beautiful Highs as Smooth as Silk (Forgiving as a Classic Ribbon) - Beautiful Bottom End like a U47 / Tele 251 - Firm as Steel Midrange - Lazer Accuracy & still Sounds Natural with Stunning Dynamic Depth & Transients

Hands Down there is Simply No Better Modern Microphone that has ALL the Hallmarks of the Classics

Unbelievable! Stunning Natural & Smooth

Nothing better! Has to be HEARD to be Believed

I have been around plenty of Flash Studios

I have recorded in plenty of strange & not so wonderful bedroom studios with problematic acoustics

I had the pleasure of being taught by the Legendary Bruce Swedien as well... & I own the Best Acoustic Products on the market

This is still my favorite Reflection Filter!

A Reflection Filter is a interesting thing... You can't just make it out of Tin Metal & Foam or Rubber - That doesn't sound too nice... Cheap ones are made as such

It does need some High Tech with several Layers & Absorptive Materials to work 'Correctly' & Not Colour the Sound overly or be too DEAD or Lifeless without 'Air' & snappy transients etc

I don't promote recording in an overly DEAD Environment or sucking the LIFE out of your Recordings

Midrange from 200Hz to 800Hz is very difficult for these cheaper products to deal with effectively in order to NOT sound 'Boxy' - But this one does it the BEST!

It's NOT the DEADEST Product to Enclose your whole HEAD etc for Voice-overs in Grandad's Echo Chamber Tin Shed... - BUT If you have a half decent acoustic & room & have some Expensive Condenser etc Mics & want to keep the best sound out of them then this Reflection Filter will work WONDERS!

BTW: If you are silly enough to be doing Exceptional Vocals in Grandad's Echo Chamber Tin Shed then maybe you need a Shure SM7 & a Vocal Booth instead or just give up Engineering instead ;P

Favorite Standard Stand

Heavy duty

Stays exactly where you put it for accurate mic placement

The BEST Sounding Cable by FAR

Recorded Mixed (Bruce Swedien) & Mastered (Bernie Grundman) on ALL MJ's Hits since Bad Album

I can HEAR why...

An even see the details on the Screen when tested against the others

I used to LOVE My Canare 4 & Mogami Gold & Beldon & still do... - But this is Better ABSOLUTELY Sorry Guys!

I know it's EXPENSIVE like Duuurgh I Paid for it to line my whole Studio like Bruce Swedien - But still one of the Best Investments you can make in your Studio is GOOD Cable & this is The BEST! I never regretted it but I want the Absolute Best Quality No Excuses - That's just Me - FFS I could even Abseil off it! ;P hahh

The DEEPER Bottom - Lower Bottom - The WEIGHT in the BASS - Transients esp in Bass & No it's Not doing anything UnNatural Fake or 'Enhancing' but it's definitely DELIVERING COMPLETELY - The PUNCH! OMG - Front to Back Depth of Midrange... - Smoothness of Top - Its Silence - Its HUGE & Perfect in every way
