Positive feedback on a great set of mics

Magazine Reviews

User feedback quotes

"...the Torch-mics have impressed me. A small-diaphragm microphone with tube technology which doesn't only sound good but was also convincing in all technical disciplines, is no child's play.  A successful debut, Mr. Loudenslager! "
Andreas Hau, Sound and Recording Magazine, Germany

"..the Torch-set altogether with the Oceanus definitely scores, securing a rank in the top class. ...the processing is high-end, and worth every penny."
Von Harald Wittig, Professional Audio Musik & Equipment Magazine, Germany

"I used a Torch on a Taylor acoustic guitar; I found a nice bottom end, but a ribbon-like top end. Very Nice! The Torches are also my new mics of choice for drum overheads.

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......"
Mark Capps, Multi-Platinum, Three-time Grammy & Marlin Award Winning Engineer

"I was very impressed by your new Torch mics. The first time I put one up to record my acoustic guitar I forgot that I was wearing headphones. It sounded like my guitar, and not a mic'd version of it. The Torch is dead-quiet, and has a beautifully natural response. I love the full, but controlled bottom end"
Michael Nielsen, Composer/Producer

"I used the Torches as the ambient mics, also did a roomy cello part with a Torch in omni and they performed beautifully. The 221s are excellent for applying in lieu of where one would use a ribbon mic. But, they are also special and don't really sound like ribbons at all of course."
Ken Stringfellow, Artist/Producer/Engineer

"I gotta say I'm loving these mics! The Torch is great on Hi Hats."
"Recorded violin... Used the Torch, killer, sounded perfect."
Matt Boudreau, Broken Radio Studios, San Francisco, CA
