All demos were recorded using the Earthworks 1022 preamp, for it’s neutrality and super fast transient response.

This chain provides the best possible chain to allow you to hear the mic, and “nothing more”. All tracks were recorded at real world levels, with no EQ, compression, etc. You may need to adjust your speaker level during the demo.
