Ryan Cavanaugh plays a Goodall RGCC Acoustic Guitar, #5455, in the Sound Pure Studios live room. Recorded with Neumann KM184 Matched Pair Mics to A Designs MP-2A, into Lynx Aurora 16 AD Converter.

The A Designs MP2A Dual Channel Vacuum Tube Microphone Preamplifier is a wonderfully detailed and open-sounding tube microphone preamp that has a very clean sound, with very subtle tube color, warmth, and three-dimensionality. It is not heavy, colored, or conjested in the mids and low-mids. This makes it a great choice on acoustic instruments including guitar, piano, orchestra, percussion- wherever you are looking for articulation, detail without the heavy, sluggish, and sometimes muddy response you sometimes get from vacuum tubes. This a seriously high-end piece, that should be given a serious listen.

Neumann KM184 microphones record stereo acoustic guitars using a wide spaced configuration. These brilliant microphone have a lot of brightness on top, but plenty of body and smoothness making them an optimal choice for recording everything from acoustic instruments, drums (overheads and high hats in particular), stereo room and instrument miking (whether XY or ORTF), percussion, strings, upright bass. Anywhere a typical small diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone will shine, these will sparkle. Based on the Original Neumann KM84 Vintage Microphones, these boast improved frequency response and improved signal to noise ratios, utilizing a very well-implemented transformerless design. Released around the turn o the millennium, this is still one of the most favored acoustic guitar recording microphone, and used here at the Sound Pure Recording Studios with great success.
