🎤 Happy Microphone Monday!

🎙️ This is the Royer R-10 – a tough, modern ribbon mic with that unmistakable classic sound.

Launched in 2018, the R-10 delivers all the smooth, natural character ribbons are famous for, but in a compact, session-ready package. It’s a passive figure-8 design that can handle extreme volume levels, making it a favorite on guitar amps, brass sections, and drums where you want to tame bite and keep things warm. 🔥

Royer ribbons have been used by top artists and producers around the world, from Foo Fighters to Jeff Beck, and by engineers like Joe Barresi and Vance Powell who rely on them for capturing rich, authentic tone in countless genres. 🎚️

And you can use it — or any of our other microphones — for your next session right here at Midtown Sound House. Book your project or learn more at www.midtownsoundhouse.com 🔊🏠

🎤 It’s Microphone Monday!

🎙️ Say hello to the Neumann M149 – a modern classic with timeless character.

Released in 1995, the M149 is a modern tube condenser mic that reimagines the legendary M49 but with modern, ultra-low-noise circuitry and the vintage-style K49 capsule.

This beauty is a go-to for silky vocals, lush acoustic instruments, and big room ambience. You’ll find it on records by Adele, John Mayer, Coldplay, and Hans Zimmer soundtracks.

If you want that smooth vintage tube vibe but with today’s reliability, this mic has your back. 🔥🎚️

🎙️ **All of our microphones — including this M149 — are available for your next session right here at Midtown Sound House. Book your project or learn more at www.midtownsoundhouse.com 🔊🏠

I can’t say enough good things about Adam Harbison. He’s a dedicated artist and professional, a pleasure to work with, writes great songs, always comes in prepared with his vocals and guitar parts, has charts and lyrics organized for the band and engineers, is constantly gigging, motivated and always improving, and super reliable.

Do yourself a favor and check out his first single, Humble Pie. It’ll be streaming, April 8th, with the rest of his debut album coming out soon.

Thanks to (drums) (bass) (lap steel and electric gtr) (production and engineering)

Intro time… I’m Dan, the chief engineer here at Midtown Sound House. I’ve been making records for 25 years, a music technology educator for 18 years, running live sound and a production manager for the last 6 years, and a singer/songwriter since I can remember. I’m super excited about all the projects that are in the works and what our team here at MSH are creating. Hope to work with you soon!
