What Does The Doobie Brothers And Alanis Morisette Have In Common?
On-line audio retailer www.Onlyfactorydirect.com expands its audio product line to include artist favorite Audix Microphones. Well known artists such as the Doobie Brothers, Bonnie Riatt, Annie DiFranco, and Alanis Morisette, all choose Audix to use on tour.
Onlyfactorydirect.com is an on-line direct from the factory audio dealer that has become an overnight success, gaining in sales in an all time economic low. When owner Mike Lewis was asked about the audio retailers success in the face of recession he explains, “first we look for solid manufacturers that offer a reliable and great sounding product; then we do everything we can to make it a no-brainer buying experience for our customers.” Mike goes on, “people are paying attention to every dollar; that is why we offer our 30-day No Hassle guarantee, where if you are not happy with the product, we will pay for the pickup, offer our customers a full refund, and no restocking fee. There is not another audio dealer on-line that offers that sort of guarantee and to top it off we ship everything in the main 48 states free.”
To launch the newly added line, Onlyfactorydirect.com has added informative videos detailing the main differences between the microphones. To view the video and learn more about www.Onlyfactorydirect.com and Audix visit the “cool features” tab on the product page of any product listed on www.OnlyFactoryDirect.com

Antares Mic Modeler EFX Native $129 Using patented Spectral Shaping Tool technology, Antares have created precise digital models of a wide variety of historical classic and exotic microphones. Simply tell Mic Mod EFX what microphone you are actually using and what microphone you'd like it to sound like. It's as simple as that. With over 125 microphones models included in Mic Mod EFX, you can afford to record each track through a model of the specific mic that will best produce that ideal sound you're looking for. Or use it in live performance to get the sound of mics you'd never consider using on stage. You can even use it during mixdown to effectively change the mic on an already recorded track. Not only do the models reproduce all of the subtle sonic characteristics that make each microphone unique, but they also give you control of each mic's specific options. Does the mic have a low cut filter? If so, it's in the model. Wind screen on or off? Close or far placement? Each option results in the same sonic effect that it would have with the actual modeled mic. And for that final touch of perfection, you can even add some tasty tube saturation. Source Mic and Modeled Mic Simply select the mic you're using (or used during your original recording) and the mic you want it to sound like. ProximityProximity Effect is a bass boost that results from placing a directional mic in close proximity to a signal source (e.g., a singer's lips). With Mic Mod EFX's Proximity controls, you can actually create the effects of different mic distances based on the specific physical properties of each individual modeled mic. Low Cut Filter If your source mic has a low cut filter, enter its setting in the Source Mic Low Cut menu. If your selected modeled mic has a low cut filter, you can model the effects of any of its settings with the Modeled Mic Low Cut menu. Pickup Pattern If your source mic has variable pickup patterns, enter the selected pattern in the Source Mic Pattern menu. If your selected modeled mic has variable pickup patterns, you can experiment with the effects of any of its patterns with the Modeled Mic Pattern menu. Tube SaturationBased on the same technology as Antares' famed WARM Tube Saturation Generator, the Tube Saturation control lets you give your track the warmth of a high-quality tube pre-amp. Mic Mod EFX is available as a plug-in for RTAS (Mac & PC), VST (Mac & PC) and Audio Units. At a fraction of the cost of even a modestly lust-worthy mic.Modeled Microphones The following is the list of the models that are included with Mic Mod EFX. Please Note: All trademarks appearing below are the property of their respective owners. The following manufacturer names and model designations are used solely to identify the microphones analysed in the development of our digital models and do not in any way imply any association with or endorsement by any of the named manufacturers.

Matrix MPU-1 Chromatic Tuner Pickup $10.95 Matrix Pickups CBMPU1, Attaches to body with a suction cup The suction cup design of this tuner pickup allow it to be used with any instrument that has a flat surface, like a guitar, bass, violin, etc. The suction cup is attached to the instrument and as the instrument is played, sound is then transmitted to the tuner. A pickup is better in transmitting sound into the tuner than a built-in mic that always comes with a tuner. This is because a mic is more likely to pick up background noise that causes interference with the sound from the instrument.CBMPU2, Attaches to body with a clip The tuner pickup is designed specifically for orchestra and band instrument. For string instruments (violin, viola, and cello), the pickup can be clipped onto the bridge to pick up the sound of the instrument for tuning. For band instruments, the pickup can also be clipped onto the instrument to pick up sound. A pickup is better in transmitting sound into the tuner than a built-in mic that always comes with a tuner. This is because a mic is more likely to pick up background noise that causes interference with the sound from the instrument. |

Crown PCC130 Boundary Mic $279 The Crown PCC-130 is a surface mounted small cardioid microphone of professional quality. This handsomely styled unit is appropriate for use on the most elegant boardroom table or lectern. Other applications include churches, courtrooms and teleconferencing. With its small size, the PCC-130 is less conspicuous on a conference table than comparable mics. Because of its highly directional pickup pattern, the PCC-130 minimizes background noise and feedback. The microphone uses the principle of phase coherency achieved by mounting a small-diameter mic capsule very near a boundary. Direct and reflected sound waves arrive at the mic in-phase, and add coherently. This enhances sensitivity, clarity and reach. Self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an in-line power module. Powered by 12-48V phantom power, the PCC-130 has a low-impedance balanced output which permits long cable runs without hum pickup or high-frequency loss. Included with each PCC-130 is a 15-foot (4.6-m), two-conductor shielded microphone cable with a TA3F connector (mic end) and 3-pin male XLR-type connector (output). Capable of withstanding up to 120 dB SPL without distortion, the PCC-130 will never overload in practical use. Its electret-condenser capsule provides a wide, smooth frequency response from 50 Hz to 20 kHz. RFI suppression is included. Self-noise is low and sensitivity is very high. A bass-tilt switch allows the user to tailor the low-end response for particular applications.Cardioid polar pattern reduces background noise and provides an impressive gain-before-feedback CROWN PCC technologie (phase coherent cardioid) prevents phase interference due to table sound reflections Wide and smooth frequency response Exceptional performance and small size Three-position bass-tilt switchApplications: Houses of worshipConferencingLecternDistance learningSecurityCourtrooms |

Powered by 12-48V phantom power, the PCC-130SW has a low-impedance balanced output which permits long cable runs without hum pickup or high-frequency loss. This inconspicuous boundary mic also features a silent-operating membrane switch that is normally off. This switch can be configured for touch on/off, momentary on or momentary off. A high-intensity LED lights when the unit is on. The 130SW is intended for multiple-microphone use on a conference table where each person wants control of his or her microphone. The microphone attenuates 70 dB when the switch is in the off position. Capable of withstanding up to 120 dB SPL without distortion, the PCC-130SW will never overload in practical use. Its electret-condenser capsule provides a wide, smooth frequency response from 50 Hz to 20 kHz. RFI suppression is included. Self-noise is low and sensitivity is very high. A bass-tilt switch allows the user to tailor the low-end response for particular applications.
