A
number of people asked us to make microphone comparisons
on the Royer Demo CD. We thought it would be better to ask
an engineer outside of Royer Labs to make the comparisons,
and Steve Albini stepped up for us. Steve recorded these
tracks at his studio, Electrical Audio, in Chicago. His microphone
comparisons, along with his comments on ribbon mics in general,
are highly informative - we’ve received hundreds of
emails from people saying that they learned a lot from
this section.
