Female Vocal - Sphere LD47K Cardioid

Female Vocal - Sphere LD67 Cardioid

This tenor sax track played by Matthew Halpin was recorded with the Sphere L22 microphone system from Townsend Labs into an Apollo interface. Featuring the RB-77DX Satin model included with Sphere 1.2 set to a cardioid pick-up pattern.

The RCA 77DX is one of the most iconic microphones of all time, and has graced the desks of many famous personalities, including David Letterman and Larry King. It's also a multi-pattern mic, which is not typical for a ribbon. Selecting different patterns is achieved by physically moving an acoustical "labyrinth" which is partly why it has such a unique sonic signature. Countless musical legends, such as Bing Crosby, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, B.B. King and Johnny Cash, have been recorded with a 77. It can also work wonderfully for recording brass instruments. The mic is typically used with cardioid or figure-8 pattern settings but the full complement of patterns from the original is provided.

The 77DX is known for having a wide manufacturing variability so some of these mics sound quite different from each other. We measured many 77s to try find the best and we 
narrowed it down to two. The RB-77DX Umber model is substantially darker and smoother than the RB-77DX Satin model.

Acoustic Guitar Backbeat - Sphere RB-77DX Satin Figure-of-8

This electric guitar track was recorded with the Sphere L22 microphone system from Townsend Labs into an Apollo interface. Featuring the LD-414 Brass model included with Sphere 1.2 set to a cardioid pick-up pattern.

The iconic 414 is arguably the one microphone that has changed most significantly and most often during the decades since its launch in the 1970s.

The original 414 with a brass-ringed capsule is one of the greatest studio mics of all time. It uses the same CK12 capsule as the legendary C12, although just about everything else is completely different from the electronics to the body design. Even though so much of the design is different, the use of ostensibly the same capsule gives it much of the same flavor as its predecessor. The mic can be a fantastic choice for drum overheads, snare drum, and acoustic guitar.

Guitar Amp - TexasRock - Sphere LD-414 Brass - Cardioid

This electric guitar track was recorded with the Sphere L22 microphone system from Townsend Labs into an Apollo interface. Featuring the LD-414 Nylon model included with Sphere 1.2 set to a cardioid pick-up pattern.

The iconic 414 is arguably the one microphone that has changed most significantly and most often during the decades since its launch in the 1970s.

Somewhere in the late 1970s, AKG switched from using the CK12 capsule in the 414 to using a new much cheaper to manufacture capsule with a nylon mounting ring (sometimes said to be Teflon). The sound of these capsules are different and much of the high-end sparkle of the CK12 disappeared with the new capsule. While many people prefer the sound of the older capsule, the nylon version has a more neutral response which can work well on many sources. The amazing thing about this change is that it was done without any notification to the customer. The model number and outward appearance of the mic stayed exactly the same, even though under the hood the mic was very different. The only way one could tell they were getting a different capsule was to open the mic up or shine a bright flashlight through the grill.
