The Crowley and Tripp Studio Vocalist has accompanied me to vocal sessions, where its smooth mid-range helped tame a male vocalist's 1-2 kHz harshness. We have also used the Studio Vocalist on live gigs where it was slammed into a guitar grill with engineers, musicians, and even audience members telling me "that was an amazing guitar sound". It is bright, almost condenser-like, without being harsh or overly hyped. Yet the Studio Vocalist still has the smooth mid-range typical of a ribbon microphone. With its amazing sound and ability to handle outrageous SPL the Studio Vocalist is an extremely versatile microphone.
Crowley and Tripp Studio Vocalist Features
The Studio Vocalist's high output level allows you to use it with virtually any preamp, including your favorite preamp. And you can use that output to the fullest, because we built in pro-level shielding so that radios and magnetic sources won't get into the track.
