“I was tracking today and I used the Horizon's on the Hammond B-3 Leslie Cabinet. I was totally blown away... They took the level great, with the 20dB pad and they took the "chirp" out and made is sound sooo smooth........

In tracking I used the Horizons with -10db pads as room mics high up over the kit. The session was Americana style music, meaning a lot of brushes and "rods", no sticks. I cut them Flat. After listening back I found them to be very musical. Nice transients. They captured the kit very nicely. They will be the main basis of this drum mix.

Recording solo cello I used both a Horizon and a Torch with the Horizon in front of the F-hole 8 to 10" back and the Torch on the bridge, same distance but with the Omni capsule. The Producer and the Cellist both commented on how great the mics sounded......”

“I can't say enough how great the Horizon was on the floor tom. And the guitar amp sounds with the two mics (ST-221 & Horizon) is....well, it's sick, really, how good it is. ”
Ken Stringfellow, The Posies, REM, The Disciplines

“The Horizon, this mic has so much flavor. It is fast becoming my go to mic. Rich but not intrusive with an old school vibe like the tubes of old but with a modern day twist that will make this mic a classic.”
Greg Phelps, Voice Actor TheVoiceActor.com

“Everything about the mic is solid and very attractive.”
“…there’s a familiar harmonic richness to the top end that I associate with other tube condensers, like Ela M 251 and U 67’s”
“If you’re in the market for a condenser mic in this price range, I would give the Horizon serious consideration, as it delivers a sophisticated richness that I associate with mics many times the price.”
Allen Farmelo, TapeOp Magazine

“I really love the Horizon mics. They're so versatile I can use them on anything from drums to horns to acoustic guitars and know that it's going to sound great. I really dig the fact that they have a 20dB pad and I can even use it on kick drum. :) Best of all I can focus more on the music and less on trying to get the sound I want. ”
Mike Allen, Eminence Recording

sound he had ever gotten."

"After whittling it down to 3 possibles from 10 in all cases in a blind test the Horizon rose to the top beating out mics 5 times the price, needless to say my client took it..."

"We often record dialogue and are more than surprised at what the Horizon delivers in this area. Sometimes you need to listen to hear the difference. But with the Horizon you just hear it."
