Josephson Microphones, Steve Albini, Kris Novelsic
Has any one had any experience with these?
E22s
The Josephson e22S side-address cardioid was designed to meet the needs of noted recording engineer Steve Albini. The physical profile allows unobtrusive placement, even with tight percussion layouts. Unique among studio condenser microphones, the e22S capsule geometry is optimized for spot miking performance. The circuit uses a cascode discrete FET front end, combined with a custom Lundahl output transformer. The electronics were designed to interface easily with either transformer or direct coupled mic preamps. The e22S has low self-noise, so it delivers low level detail, and handles high sound pressure levels for minimal distortion on extremely loud passages. The microphone housing is very rugged, with a precision machined, satin black chrome finish.
“The specific need addressed by the e22S was drum kit recording, and the mics are used in that capacity nearly every day, but once they were in our hands, they quickly became a favorite mic for many instruments, including acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, guitar amplifiers, organ and horns. The e22S is easily the most versatile microphone in our cabinet.

Nice one. I'm looking at getting a good set of mikes for recording with.Shadowgames wrote:Jospehson microphones are amazing. I haven't used the E22s (but i've heard great recordings made with them.
I own a pair of C617 (+ gefell MK221 caps) and they are one of the most detailed omni mics I've heard. Buy some Josephsons you won't regret it!

According to Blabbermouth, influential San Francisco noise/punk act Flipper has recruited former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic for the band.Direktor wrote:No, I am not being carspastic.
Haven't heard anything of Noveselic for years.
Novoselic, who played in various groups after NIRVANA's 1994 demise, put music on the shelf in recent years to concentrate on local politics in Washington state, where he has championed free speech and voting issues and even considered a run for lieutenant governor at one point.
You can check out some music from Flipper on their myspace page.
