Neumann U87AisE: Voodoo Mics Win PAR Excellence Award
"We are delighted to have won a Pro Audio Review Excellence Award for the VR1 and VR2 mics these products represent a huge leap in ribbon mic technology, another pending patent from sE and the culmination of several years of development work under the guidance of sEs CEO Mr Siwei Zou. We are very proud of the recognition this award brings, since it is in the pursuit of bringing innovation to the mass market that will benefit everyone from project studio owners to professionals, something we are very focussed on as a company."
VR1 and VR2 tech: The Voodoo Ribbons from sE are new for 2010 and mark a new era for Ribbon mic technology until now the only Ribbon mic in the world to perform across 20Hz-20KHz was our own Rupert neve collaboration, the RNR1, crtically acclaimed as the best Ribbon mic in the world. This was achieved using state of the art transformers and a Rupert neve designed circuit board to reveal HF usually absent.
The Voodoo mics however achieve full frequency response using a new
mechanical device (patent pending), designed by Siwei Zou, the company
CEO. This extraordinary technical acheivment allows the traditional
Ribbon capsule to develop and capture frequencies from 20Hz to 20KHz
like no other Ribbon on the planet.
The sound is revolutionary; the Voodoo range brings traditional ribbon
sound to the project and commercial studio, but extends it to perform as
well as most condensers do. The result is superbly detailed and
wonderfully open and natural sounding recordings of acoustic instruments
and guitar cabs.
