well, some interesting sound clips if you enjoy listening to Sinatra bullying his producer about a key change.

Not really informative about how a mike sounds in reality, but still, you'll enjoy the pics and reference material.

have fun

Very cool site, Malice.

I've stumbled across it before while doing a search for a specific mic, but I didn't realize how much there was to it.

I like the "history of metering".

Well, I actually took the time to listen though the "play all soundclips" file, and I must be a total geek, because some of those actually made me laugh.

Some were of course completely unexpected.

And some sort of reinforced my own previous opinions (yep, the SolidTube actually sounds that bad).
