Testimonials

Crystal clear, very interesting and accurate too.

- Bob Crowley (Crowley & Tripp Pro Audio)

I'm really pleased with how this mic has turned out. Sonically it hangs in there with a Royer 121... Mine has a little better top end. My upright bass player yesterday tried to buy one from me. I sent him to your website.

- Keith Compton, Nashville Engineer, www.KeithCompton.com

The finished mic sounds as good as my RCA 44.

- Corey Brunish, Frank Sinatra tribute performer

To my ear this is the fullest/richest sounding in the bass/low-mid/mid of all the mics in my collection.

- Phil Manning, www.SiestaProduce.com

Your videos and written materials were both totally clear and left nothing to the imagination. And you can quote me on that :) [Click Here for Kyle's Audio Testimonial, recorded on his True Blumlein™ Mic!]

Not only where the directions good...but I love every thing I record with these (I built two while I was at it.) The satifaction of knowing "It's mine" feels good every time I listen. The reproduction of the Piano was amazing.

- Dave, Mixbox Jazz Trio

I must say that the more I use my Austin mic, the more I think it's the best I have.

- Clever (Brazil)

I gotta say, Wow! Those measured better than a few pro mics I've seen!
