El Diablo:

Heresy! That's what they said when Bob Crowley and Hugh Tripp starting telling the very first people about the new phantom power proof, windblast, and extreme SPL capable ribbon microphone material the duo were inventing at Crowley and Tripp Microphones. “We want to do away with the kitchen foil that is in every other ribbon mic”, they said. The traditionalists gasped.

And now at the 2007 AES meeting in New York, the Mercenary Edition el Diablo Ribbon Microphone with Roswellite™ Advanced Material was unveiled, using a new class of advanced materials called Supermatter™, engineered with nano-scaled structures that provide incredible strength and durability, far greater than all of the old foil materials that have been used (and cursed at) for decades.

El Diablo is the first microphone to feature Crowley and Tripp’s Roswellite™ high-strength, shape memory ribbon technology, and it can go where no ribbon mic has been before: inside pounding kick drums and blaring horns, pushed up against cranked guitar amplifier speakers, and on loud singers on an open, outdoor stage. Roswellite™ revolutionizes the field of ribbon mics, does away with the worries forever, and has that Crowley and Tripp ribbon mic tone, so it can be used throughout your studio, and for live sound, indoors or out.

Roswellite™ ribbon material was developed by Crowley and Tripp at Soundwave Research Labs as a result of a challenge from Mercenary Audio’s “Fletcher” to produce a ribbon mic for kick drums. "I wanted the sound of a 421 inside the drum and a 47 FET out by the hole", said Fletcher, "the result from el Diablo is a mic that combines the aggression of the 421 with the size of the 47 FET, without any of the phase issues that often occur when using two mics on a single source.”

El Diablo, the “heretic” of the Crowley and Tripp line, is an entirely new type of microphone with smooth ribbon sound, high output, and unequalled sound pressure level handling. And with Factory No Haggle Price on US sales of el Diablo, consumers know they are getting the best deal with the fewest middlemen- only through authorized Crowley and Tripp dealers. The Mercenary Edition of el Diablo is in stock and shipping as of October 1st 2007.

Now available in stainless steel.

Naked Eye Roswellite

 

It’s time to hit the record button, and play!
Naked Eye Classic and Naked Eye Roswellite - two versions of the great Naked Eye platform - have smooth treble, well-defined midrange, and fat bottom, handling loud and soft volumes without noise. Naked Eye easily delivers that classic thick guitar tone that people spend months and many dollars to achieve, without all the fuss. Naked Eye works right into any preamp, into any computer interface, even straight into a portable field recorder! And it will sound right, because you are in control.

What is True Dual Voicing?
True Dual Voicing means that each side of the Naked Eye has a very different voice, or tone. Crowley and Tripp have specifically tuned Naked Eye to have two distinct personalities, each with excellent characteristics for your recording needs: The front, emblem side has that classic ribbon sound - that thick and creamy tone guitars love. The back has a significantly brighter, rising curve that mimics the rise of high quality vocal condensers, for perfect and flattering vocals. True Dual Voicing isn’t found in any other ribbon mics at any price, so choose versatility: Spin it around and have it both ways - the difference is big.

Studio Vocalist

 

 

Studio Vocalist

The Studio Vocalist is an all-new, full size, professional ribbon microphone. No other natural ribbon microphone has the output level and quality of the Studio Vocalist. It has a higher output than a stage dynamic mic, almost no self-noise, and a ruggedness unsurpassed in ribbon microphones.

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.

Most ribbon microphones are known for their "dark" sound, not so with the Studio Vocalist. It has a smooth rising response more like a large diaphragm condenser, but without the top end harshness.
