Audio is subjective. Mistakes are not. Having the right accessories to maximize your recordings means the difference between: Getting paid or not. Getting a big break. Hearing that you did it right the first time.
Try Auray's wide range audio accessories, including pop filters, reflection filters, microphone stands, shock mounts windscreens, isolation pads and more. We're here to support your sound.
Please do a demonstration of the Auray RFDT-128. I see how the one you review here, the RFC-12, appears to be designed to work with a variety of mics with useful adjustments. On the other hand, I have no such luck with my Auray RFDT-128.
LOL wtf ? His solution for not having a proper mounting solution is. Hey lets rest it ontop of the shock mount. Its Loose AF Imagine your mic falls and you break it. Thats is just insanity
For the price that these were and the ease of access to consumers to simply switch parts when needed or wanted, it really was an amazing design. Sadly they are discontinued, but I still rock mine with a bottom housing (still on the hunt for a side exit housing), and internal cable. Serious competition when considering the other options out there. Bring these back Auray!
Same situation. Love using the CFP-58B Carbon Fiber Telescoping Boom Pole with Internal Cable & Bottom XLR Base and would really enjoy a side exit add-on. @@trevormurray3740
He says, for almost all mics, "you're just gonna place it on top of the shock mount." Pay really close attention to what he's saying: he just wants you to set down the whole thing ON TOP OF the shock mount, rather than into it, without any security. So if you bump the thing, it topples off -- and also, there's simply less vibration isolation than a true shock mount. This is no solution at all; the critically gigantic flaw of this product is that it lacks two mounts: one for the chamber, one for the mic. And besides, most shock mounts do not elevate the large-diaphragm microphone chassis high enough to reach the inner chamber's middle: you just get a peek of the top of the mic, with most of the sound getting blocked from all directions.
To bad you can't actually connect it to the micstand. And how do you use this with for example a Shure SM7B where you must sing into the top of the mic?
@@XanderGallois didnt you say how do you use this for shure SM7B? and you aware that mic is a DYNAMIC MIC RIGHT? Also are you aware recording vocals in the studio is a different process when doing a podcast or performing on stage right???? these are all questions
@@LossLeadas The Shure sm7b is a cardioïde mic. Big artist like Michael Jackson, James Hetfield and many many others recorded and still are recording albums with this mic in the studio. Also used for singers who like to record vocals without a headphone (like Michael Jackson and James Hetfield) due there low range response. So, tbh I dont know where you get your information from that this mic isnt for vocals. As a matter effect, this mic is primarily used for vocals, not instruments.
Wow! That's amazing. Thank you so much for a visual step by step, I NEED those lol! Will you do a video to show how to add it to the arm mount? I was thinking of taking mine back while watching your video. With your desktop filter, I was thinking I wouldn't need the braodcast arm, then BOOM! you showed another way to use your filter. The desktop has no way of rolling does it? Do you have a sound test video? I now have an Aston Halo for when i'm standing, it's way too big for other things. But the noise reduction from is great. How do you rate that on your filter. It looks great but does it work great filtering noise reduction
Great booms, BUT!!! BAD Costumer service, i am TIRED to wait to have solution for a few pieces replacement i need for my boom pole (ABP 59B) and more than a week and NOTHING!!! Shame of you auray :/
@@americanskeptic1559 I don't have a shockmount for the TLM 102, but it doesn't work well with it. I can keep it awkwardly balanced on top of it. But the 102 is too small. Works perfectly with my Mini K87.
I just opened my boom pole then when I was pulling off the plastic from the xlr head and then cable broke off I was shocked after that for a moment what can I do about it
i bought one , you have to be careful with the distance because you may cause distortion if too close and loud , but the voice gets deeper and more isolated for sure , you just have to be careful
It's called the proximity effect, an increase in low frequency response as you move the mic closer to the source. The closer you get, the bigger the bass boost. DJ's use this to their advantage to get that great radio voice.
@@roblianoofficial Generally you're right, but the effect the OP is describing is primarily due to the sound becoming more focused because it has less space to travel within the small enclosure. And the input gain will not be enough sometimes since it will get too low in level just to avoid clipping because of the extra body added to the sound. In these cases, light compression will help to control the volume and keep the dynamics in place.
@@aurayaudio5266 Do you plan on making a similar portable solution for top-addressed mics? I can't seem to find the right keywords for things like this.
Dynamic mics don’t really need isolation booths because they’re much less sensitive to room noise compared to condenser mics. At least, that’s certainly the case with my SM58 and Pyle PDMIC78 (SM57 copy).
Hi Teno, If your microphone comes with a shock mount, then no. If it doesn't, then yes, you'd have to buy a shock mount compatible with your microphone.
Hello guys. I know coiled boom poles have some cable rattling noise, but the ABP-412B has too much. a very gentle twist and the cable would move, making very noticeable noise. Had to uncable it...i'll try to add some fabric around the cable, see what happens...anyway... The anti-twist system works fine thou.
Hi Felipe, Thanks for reaching out. We noticed after production that the cable was strung too tight on a few of the pieces, making the rattling of the cable inside the pole a bit noisy. We have corrected the situation, and are working now on a softer cable outer casing to also reduce this problem. Please reach out to customer service at info@gradusgroup.com, who will help you get a replacement product when one is ready.
@@aurayaudio5266 Glad to hear that! it is a nice pole in the end. it is indeed a slim pole hehe, One simple thing that might help is changing the glossy finished cable for a common rubberized one. I'll send them an e-mail. Thanks for the reply and answers! Cheers from Brazil (a really unexplored market :p )
Dear WupperVideo, Thank you for reaching out to us at. While we do appreciate you wanting to work with us and help promote our products, we're going to have to pass at this time. Good luck in all future endeavors. Auray
Hi, Nicole: Thanks for your inquiry. We're not exactly clear what you're asking, but we want to help! Please contact us at: info@gradusgroup.com and we'll help you find the right solution.
@@aurayaudio5266 hi, i have the very same problem, the ibternal plastic parts of the twist locks, are broken and the other one is missed, so i need those and the internal plastic breacks that fits in the two holes at the end of the tube, that breaks the tube to go out exponing the internal cable, so i need all those plastic parts of the boom pole, i have the ABP 59B, thanks fpr your help
This is recent ... scary that they even make replacements. Very surprised they even break. Must be very very soft cabling in there for there to be a break. Has anyone ever done a metric on how long this cable should last. You may want to show more close ups of the strain relief being removed.. I would hope that this cable should last at least 5-10 years even if daily use.
Hi Michael: Thanks for your comment. The big advantage to our replacement system, compared to other manufacturers, is since there is no soldering needed, replacement is fast and easy. The cable itself is sturdy-as well as being very flexible and tangle resistant-and should last many years. This, of course, is contingent upon how often the boom pole is being used. For a pro who is using every day, expanding and retracting, the wear and tear of that constant motion will be quicker tan occasional use. We have full confidence our cable will last for years of worry-free use, and we stand behind all our product 100%. The fact that we make replacing the cable easy is a benefit, and should not be something to concern you. Ask some other seasoned boom pole users. Perhaps you'll be surprised again :-)
