A little tour of FLEA Microphones in Slovakia

[Tim Campbell]

I am currently in Slovakia at FLEA Microphones headquarters doing some work and I though that you guys might appreciate a little tour.
Their company consists of a wonderful studio in the woods and a 3 story industrial building downtown in Povazska Bystrica

Very cool studio! What are the units in the rack above the rack with the Harmonizer in it?

Also, I'd love to hear that C37a/U47/251 comparison!

 

[Tim Campbell]

The C37 sort of sounds like a ribbon without the proximity effect, the U47 sounds midrange heavey like a Beatles album and the 251 sounds fantastic and once you listen to it you can't really ignore the shortcomings of the other two.

If only the Beatles had used 251, they might have actually become something. (Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll get my coat )
