This week we review the new Ferrite passive DI box kit from DIY Recording Equipment, compare it to the Countryman 85 active DI and talk about the new Colour project in the works. Our guest this week is Peterson Goodwyn.
This week Jon tries out a few mics you don’t usually hear on acoustic guitar. The mics in the shootout are: M-Audio Pulsar II (small diaphragm cardioid condenser), IK Multimedia ARC Mic (small diaphragm omni electret for measurement), Shure SM7B (large cardioid dynamic), Rode NTG-2 (Shotgun), and Audio-Technica PRO-70 (wired cardioid lavalier). No guest this week.
