JJ Audio Mics - Minis

"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." Mark Twain

One of the constant "push and pull," realities of studio equipment is sound vs size. The best sounding mic in a recording studio is usually the biggest mic too! However, we at JJ Audio Mics have set out to change that.

It is my pleasure to introduce to you the JJ Audio Mics - "Mini" Series.

These mics all contain sub miniature tubes, which are notorious for having a very unique straight forward sound. Because of their size, sub miniature tubes can fit into smaller microphones and still leave room for superb transformer and circuit coupling!

Here are the mini mics!

Westlake Edition

Attached are 2 sound files of the mics thus far, as well as available pictures. The picture of the Doberman body is only to show the paint job, there is no capsule installed in the picture.

Some information about the sound files, the Doberman Eastlake and the Chihuahua Tiajuana are recorded simultaneously. More files will soon come along with more information! You may have noted that in another thread there was a soundfile of the Chihuahua Durango prototype, we have since made that circuit/build much quieter with some changes to the grill material and will make a better optimized recording to showcase its sonics.

Thanks
