Description

The Bruce Swedien No.1

Introducing the first signature microphone from Bruce Swedien, brought to you by Nordic Audio Labs.

Designed as a single pattern large diaphragm condenser, it is suitable for critical solo sources in music recording, or as part of a stereo pair for larger ensembles and sources requiring acoustical support.

It offers the sublime mid-range and healthy proximity effect of popular vintage German designs, with a smooth and slightly extended top end. There is great sophistication in the design and aesthetic of this hand-made wonder. Engineers enjoy the exceptionally low-noise, highly detailed capture this microphone provides. Artists are inspired by the sheer elegance, which is superseded only by the magnificent sound.

Never before has Bruce Swedien endorsed a microphone that bears his name. Never before has the world seen a microphone so capable, so elegant, and so attainable. This microphone can proudly serve as the centerpiece for any studio, regardless of size and operating budget.

Initially offered at $4700 USD, the first 100 units include a certificate of authenticity, hand-signed by Bruce Swedien and Martin Kantola.
