1 MIC. 1000 SOUNDS.
"I can´t imagine ever recording drums without them again" Fredrik Thordendal, Messuggah
"It sounds just like a couple of room mics in the best studio you have ever heard, they sound so real, it's unreal" Daniel Bergstrand. In flames, Decapitated, Behemoth.
“I always use the Reverbophone – an amazing reverb that reacts to the instrument in the room, not just a mic signal. It’s incredible. Check it out.” Mattias Eklund, Toontrack, studio farkosten
"it becomes a part of the source. The sound is clear and distinct at any volume, with a transparent quality that blends perfectly with the dry sound. " Simon Wolf, soilwork
“The Reverbophone adds rich, organic reverb that makes drums sound natural and spacious, with smooth decay and subtle overtones.” -Mikael Wikman, MW Drum studio
Reverbophone is the reverberating microphone. It turns moving air into real, physical reverb—no DSP. A tuned plate inside vibrates with your source; 2 microphones captures that motion. The result is natural space and believable distance, from room to cathedral. Deep lows, smooth highs, powerful! Set the length. Record. Done.
The decay time is adjustable, ranging from a 0.1 s room to a 4–5 s hall via a simple lever. ( Can be adjusted with a optional remote unit)
The front side features a durable grille where the membrane picks up vibrations. The back side has the same grille with acoustic damping behind it, as well as the control panel.
The panel offers:
When used in traditional mode, the built-in amplifier and transducer drive the plate. Power is supplied via a 12–18 V DC adapter.

Most of the clips are snippets of the songs recorded in our youtube videos. Check them out to hear the sounds in context.
This is reverbophone MK1. Here you get to hear drums, mandolin, and acoustic guitar recorded separately with close mics, along with 2 reverbophones. In the beginning, they all play together, then each instrument individually. First, for a while with a mix of close mics and reverbophones, then only close mics, and finally only reverbophones. All clips are completely unprocessed, meaning no EQ, no compression. Everything was recorded in a small room, approximately 20 square meters. The distance between the instruments and the reverbophone microphones during recording was about 1.5 meters. The length of the reverb is set slightly differently for each instrument, according to what we felt was appropriate.
