In the 1920s and 30s EMI crafted microphones for British RoyaltyKing George V King George VI and Queen Elizabethbut these gorgeous mics sat neglected in the EMI Archive Trust for decades. Then in a strange twist of fate production started on the award-winning film The Kings Speech. After painstaking restoration the mics came back to life to record the films orchestral sections as well as re-amp the dialogue for authenticity. Then the Abbey Road engineers started experimenting with re-amping guitars and synths to get unique crunchy filter-like qualities. Clearly the mics were never designed to be used in this fashionbut breaking the rules is how you stand out.

Features:

• Modeled in close collaboration with Abbey Road Studios
