Bring Home the Sound of Shoreditch
The Strongroom London mic pack offers a handpicked collection of classic mics used by everyone from Radiohead to the Spice Girls. This module is designed to be used in conjunction with the ML-1 microphone. There's no shortage of stories that illustrate the significance of the Strongroom studio space. Some of the biggest songs in modern music history were written within its walls, from the megahit Spice Girls song Wannabe to The Prodigy's seminal 1997 single Firestarter.
Strongroom has also played an enormous role in building up the community it's surrounded by. After first putting down roots in 1984, the studio (and eventually, its adjacent bar and restaurant) became a boon for Shoreditch, bringing other businesses flocking to the area and establishing the community as the new place to be. The pack's artwork pays tribute to artist Jamie Reid, the designer of the legendary Sex Pistols album artwork and Strongroom's own interiors, particularly Strongroom's famed Studio One.
SD-414 BU
Touted as the reference microphone for almost all comparative microphone tests, the SD-414 BU delivers the ultra-linear response that made its source mic legendary. It's great for vocals, pianos, percussive elements, or anything else that generates complex waveforms.
SD-414 EB
The SD-414 EB is based on a mic that was the first of its kind in several regards but perhaps its most distinctive characteristic is the capsule. Its tonal characteristics make it perfect for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments, but its response is generally excellent regardless of source.
SD-12 VR
The SD-12 VR is based on a mic that was designed to improve upon what is considered to be the 'holy grail of microphones.' Featuring the same 6072A vacuum tube and dual-diaphragm design as the original, this mic model captures the same reliable response and low-noise output as its source.
SD-47 FET
Originally beloved as the most versatile vocal mic in the industry, this mic is armed with several features that make it a must-have addition to your locker. This mic is ideal for tracking brighter sound sources like horns and amped guitars, and its uncluttered low-end also make it suitable for upright bass and bass amp tracking, too.
SD-4038
This virtual mic is a perfect model of an incredibly important piece of recording technology. The original was a wholly singular device that proved indispensable upon arrival, becoming the near-immediate preference of the entire BBC. Its clear but colorful and detailed response make it perfectly suited for capturing a wide array of sources; the Beatles used a pair as drum overheads so famously they re on display at the Beatles Story museum in Liverpool.
