Roswell Pro Audio’s new Custom Shop Mic Builder tool provides customers customisation options for the hand-built Mini K line of microphones – the online configurator offers more than 1,800 combinations of cosmetic options, circuit modifications and additional features, as well as accessory options to create looks, sounds and options unique to each customer.
‘We’ve been offering our customers a base level of customisation for a while now but our new customisation configuration tool takes it to the next level,’ says Roswell Pro Audio founder, Matt McGlynn. ‘Customers can quickly put together various combinations right on our website. We then hand-build the custom mic to order, test and ship it directly from our shop in California.’
Custom finish options for microphone bodies are produced in small quantities so that Roswell can offer new and different finishes from time to time, making custom options more unique. Current colour options include Agent Orange, Deep Purple, Imperial White, None More Black and Seafoam of Tranquility. Custom grille options include satin nickel, chrome, matte black and chrome black.
Mini K mics can be configured with modifications to the circuit, providing options for recording various sources in the studio. Customers can choose a ‘high output’ mod that provides more sensitivity for recording quiet sources like voiceover, classical guitar and Foley or a ‘high SPL’ mod with a 10dB pad to accommodate loud sources such as horns, screaming vocals and drums.
