REVERBOPHONE

A new way!

A new sound, a new way to create ambiance and reverb! The Reverbophone is a microphone that creates amazing acoustic environments in your recordings. Whether it's simulating natural rooms or creating unique soundscapes, the Reverbophone will give you the flexibility and precision you need! This is truly a powerful tool!

How does it sound?

Describing a sound in words is hard, but here's some quotes form our customers:

• "It sounds just like a couple of room mics in a expensive studio, they sound so real it's unreal" - Daniel Bergstrand. In flames, Decapitated, Behemoth.
• "I can not imagine recording drums without them ever again" - Fredrik Thordendal. Meshuggah
• "I have never heard another reverb with such clarity, depth, presence and lushness, that fits inside the mix so easily, as Reverbophone. It's a dream for every recording and mixing engineer." - Daniel Vållberg
• "it becomes a part of the source rather than just adding a reverb tail. The sound is clear and distinct at any volume, with a transparent quality that blends perfectly with the dry sound. " Simon Wolf. Solna Sound, Soilwork
• "The reverbophone adds a rich, organic reverb to drums, giving them a natural, spacious feel. They sounds as if you playing in a well-balanced resonant room, with smooth decay and subtle overtones that enhance the drum´s sound without overwhelming it¨ -Mikael Wikman, MW Drum studio

But of course don't base your thoughts on what other people says, have a listen in the recordings (scroll down) and form your own opinion!

What are the benefits of the Reverbophone?

So what's the difference between using a plugin reverb, and using actual mics in a well balanced room or hall? The answer is: dynamics! The room/hall will always sound like the real thing. why? Simply because it is the real thing! The room mics will always give back a natural and dynamic sound that highlights the parts that actually excites the room.

The benefits of this sound will come very clear when you try to fit this sound in a song. It's a sound that is easy to hear, cuts through the mix, that contain the right stuff and don't easily over take and mask other instruments.

The Reverbophone gives you that sound!

It will always sound like the real thing, because it is! It is a real, physical thing in motion. The bass register is rich and clear, all the way down. The midrange is strong and forward. The high end is present and lush, with a amazing way to handle harsh sounds. Some sounds can often be quite harsh and brittle in room mics (like cymbals), that's a problem you don't have to worry about. They will sound super clean and powerful without ripping your head of.

The reverb length is easily adjusted with a lever, from a short 0.1-second room to a large 5-6 -second hall. A Reverbophone has two sides: what we call the front is the side where the reverb membrane picks up vibrations, and it´s covered with a durable and robust grill fabric. On the back we find the same grill fabric, and behind it is a acoustic damping material.

The Reverbophone is a microphone, and just like any microphone it can of course be used in many ways. For example, place 2 Reverbophones a few meters apart in front of the source for a amazing wide stereo image. Put them close to the source for much power and detail, or a few meters away for a softer smoother sound. Plug into the output on each unit, turn on 48v on your micpre, and adjust the reverb length as desired. Whatever you place in front of them, they will give back a beautiful, rich and three-dimensional reverb. You can also use just 1 Reverbophone and use the left and right outputs for stereo recording. This will still give you a big and lush sound with a wide stereo image, just not as wide as with two Reverbophones of course. Already recorded? Then use one or two Reverbophones as a traditional plate reverb. Plug your signal (line level) into the XLR input, adjust the volume and get a sound similar to the analogue plate reverbs we're used to hear.

The difference in sound you get when you use the Reverbophone as a microphone, or a traditional plate reverb, are wildly different! One can not replace the other.
