Description:

My guest is Steve Savanyu, Director of Educational Services at Audio-Technica U.S. Steve has over 40 years of professional audio experience in live sound, studio and broadcast applications. He has worked on large live and broadcast events including the Presidential/Vice Presidential Debates (2008 & 2012), and the 2008 New York City Papal Visit.

Steve schooled us (in deep detail) on the technical differences between these types of microphones:

  • Dynamic
  • Condenser
  • Ribbon
  • Carbon
  • Ceramic
  • Crystal

We also talked about:

  • Diaphragm sizes
  • Pickup patterns (and how phase cancellation is manipulated)
  • Mic output levels
  • Preamps
  • What XLR actually stands for! Do YOU know? Listen for the answer.
  • Also the difference between the famed ATR2100-USB and the ATR2500-USB.

I also asked a selfish question about a super small mic that I want for a specific application. Steve suggested the BP8-96 or AT8-99.

Thank you for being a great guest, Steve!
