Description

Edit description

Unleash your creativity with the DrAlienSmith Dirtmic-01, a groundbreaking tool in the world of studio recording gear. This dynamic microphone with a built-in distortion circuit takes sound experimentation to a whole new level. Unlike conventional microphones that aim for pristine clarity, the Dirtmic-01 allows you to dive into the realm of gritty, raw soundscapes. By integrating a distortion pedal circuit directly into the mic, DrAlienSmith has crafted a unique instrument that transforms sound with an edge of character, delivering a truly versatile sonic experience.

Operable with 48v phantom power, this mic seamlessly connects to any mixer or interface via its XLR connector, eliminating the need for additional equipment like batteries, pedals, or amplifiers. The onboard 'pre-gain' volume pot offers precise control over the distortion level, allowing you to dial in anything from subtle warmth to full-blown sonic chaos. Whether you're pushing the mic to its limits in the studio or attempting a daring live performance, the Dirtmic-01 is designed to be an adventurous addition to any musician's toolkit.

Harmonica players, take heed: this mic is engineered for direct integration into your setup, bypassing traditional amps for a streamlined approach. If you must connect to an amp, an external phantom power source is required. The Dirtmic-01 is not just a microphone; it’s an invitation to explore new musical territories.

Key Features:

Dynamic microphone with integrated distortion pedal circuit
Runs on 48v phantom power with transformer-balanced output
XLR connection for easy integration with mixers and interfaces
On-mic 'pre-gain' volume pot for adjustable distortion levels
Suitable for studio recording, with potential for live performance use
Includes DirtMount mic stand clip and manual
