V1S, V4, V44S - Ryland Talamo CBU Drum Session (Drum Kit)

Notes:
Recorded and played by Olivier Truan at his studio in Switzerland.

"Bösendorfer 200 grand piano
V13 spaced stereo inside the piano on Omni, 6.2 inches from the strings, distance between mics is 2 feet 2 inches.

V13 go directly in a Motu Pre 4 (Shame on me, but I just purchased a Neve 5211 for the V13), nevertheless, it might reassuring for people that you don’t necessarily need a great preamp to get a decent sound with your mics."


"After testing a few positions, I got that wonderful, warm, full sound I was hoping to get. Your microphones are great and remind me of the C12, which I used many times in other people’s studios. My next test will be my 1959 Hammond B3 and I have high expectations.

So thank you for a wonderful, rich, beautiful and great sounding microphone, which will follow me for years to come, I am sure."
