In this video comparison, we put four small diaphragm condenser microphones to the test, as we demonstrate the TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik M60, the DPA 2011A, the Josephson C42, and the Peluso P84. Can you tell which one's which?

The Peluso line of custom vacuum tube condenser, solid-state condenser and ribbon microphones brings the very best in vintage sound to new life. In the first video of our Peluso series, SoundPure Recording Engineer, Allen Palmer, selects just a few of John Peluso’s great selection of mics, for a simple drum recording. With the 22 47 SE on the kick, a P-67 on snare, and a pair of P-84s on overheads, provide a complete and full drum sound. All of the mics used in this video are available for SoundPure’s Try-Before-You-Buy program, so if you want to check out how these mics sound in your studio with your gear, shoot us an email at ProAudio@SoundPure.com.

  This blind shootout focuses on three of our favorite SDC mics, the Miktek C5, the Schoeps CMC6 with the MK4 cardiod capsules, and the Peluso P84. First we'll hear them on a small body guitar using a finger style technique, then we switch it up to showcase how they sound using a flat pick technique on a large body guitar. All four of these mics were run through our Phoenix DRS-8 preamps and Apogee Symphony converter. If you want to know which mic is which and/or want to get the full length high resolution files for yourself, send us a quick email at mics@soundpure.com. Additionall all three of these mics are available for SoundPure's unique Try-Before-You-Buy program, so if you would like to hear how one of these mics will sound in your studio with your gear, give us a call and we'd be happy to talk more with you.

In this video we discuss the XY miking technique using the Peluso P84 SDC Stereo Kit on mandolin and dobro. The XY techinque is one of the few coincident miking techniques that minimizes phase issues as the sound is arriving at both microphones at the same time when the mics are arranged correctly. Because of this, the XY technique is an excellent technique for quick and easy recording setups or when the panning of the mics in the mix is not yet determined during the recording stage (the mics can be summed to mono or panned wider without fear of comb filtering). We chose the Peluso P84 Stereo Kit as our microphone example for this technique video to showcase one of the many miking techniques at your disposal when you purchase a P84 Stereo Kit with it's included accessories (stereo bar, shockmounts, omni capsules). Additionally the P84 is available for our free try-before-you-buy demo program, so if you enjoy the sounds heard in this video and want to hear how the P84s will sound in your studio with your gear please don't hesitate to give us a call at anytime!   We want to extend a huge thanks to our performers George and Danny of the NC roots rock band Jack the Radio! Make sure to check them and their tunes out at www.JacktheRadio.com.   If you have any questions about the XY miking technique, the Peluso P84s, or recording gear in general - we're here to help.

This blind mic shootout comparison features three "84" style microphones: a Neumann KM184, a vintage Neumann KM84, and a Peluso P84. The Neumann KM84 is a vintage SDC mic with a warm, natural, and detailed sound. The modernized version, the Neumann KM184, features a slightly different tone and response resulting in some engineers preferring one over the other depending on their recording application. Because vintage Neumann KM84s are limited in number, relatively expensive, and can require some touch up repair work due to their age, the Peluso P84 was developed - which was modeled after the sound of the vintage KM84 despite being a brand new microphone. All three mics were running through our Millennia HV-3R preamp and Lynx Aurora Converter. We conducted this shootout comparison blind to rule out bias or expectations and to provide the most neutral comparison possible. If you'd like the results and full length hi-res audio to compare for yourself shoot us a quick email to mics[at]soundpure.com or give us a call at anytime. Thanks for watching! 919-682-5552
