How Science Powers Unbiased Microphone Choice
The quietest rooms on earth are normally used for developing microphones. We turned this one into a room for comparing microphones. Why? To create consistency and remove all variables so that when you compare mics on Audio Test Kitchen the only differences you hear are between the microphones, not differences in vocal performance, microphone position, or signal chain.
In this video we explore the scientific building blocks we developed make fair and unbiased microphone comparisons possible.
What is an anechoic chamber?
Why would we record vocals in one?
How do you keep a vocal performance consistent into hundreds of microphones?
How do you turn a speaker into a singer?
Besides looking cool, what’s the role of lasers and robots?
If you want to create the worlds greatest microphone shootout, you have to call in the big guns: Harman Laboratories
