Sample 2:
The MP3 samples were recorded
by the Disney Quartet on the live-to-air jazz concert for a local public radio
station in Orlando Fl. John Marsden donates his time & equipment as part of
trying to keep the genre alive. Instead of micing each instrument individually
and then mixing, John records live-to-air to his laptop running DP. John put
up the Cascade X-15 stereo ribbon (which was responsible for 75% of the
signal) in a X-Y
configuration along with the FAT HEAD as a mono and let the musicians do what
they do best. John's reaction: WOW - total warmth with air on top - you can
hear where every musician is located and all the subtleties of their playing -
and the self compression of these mics is just so SWEET!!

How can we sell a quality microphone
at such an attractive price?
Our competitors claim that a quality microphone
cannot be manufactured and sold at the price point
we offer. The fact is, when you have to pay a rep.
firm, advertising agencies, operation expenses of a
retail store and a commission salesperson, they are
absolutely right.
Here's the good news
When you buy a Cascade microphone, you are buying
direct. There is no additional mark-up to cover
the usual expenses that are associated with a
typical retail sale.
No
Smoke and Mirrors
Cascade Microphones stands behind each and every
microphone we sell. We want our customers to have
the best available information to help them make
informed decisions about their purchases. To verify
that the most accurate information is being
presented, each model is sent to Cross·Spectrum
Labs where audio calibrations are conducted to
ensure that our specifications and measurements are
precise and correct.
Quality Control
We
closely and diligently work with our manufacturing
team on a day-to-day basis. Our product designs and
modifications are what make Cascade Microphones
stand out from the rest. Each microphone is tested,
inspected and run though it's paces before it leaves
our shop. We also offer a variety of custom
installations.
Our
new facility includes a professional lab that
enables us to perform custom designs and warranty
work.
Thank you for considering our quality products and
we look forward to doing business with you.
