JA-47F

| I've always been told I had a troublesome voice to record and I'm not usually happy with my vocal recordings. After using the JA-47F I couldn't believe the difference in how I sounded. This microphone has the right amount of detail and grit in the lower mids for my voice and really makes my performances shine... Its hands down the most prized possession in my studio and it cost me the least of all my toys! |

| Using a pair of these on overheads or for recording brass in a blumlein setup really makes sources shine with a softened top and the right amount of crunch and detail through the center. Using it on vocals, it has a nice gravelish tone in the lower mids that lets softer vocals sit nicely in a mix and makes backing vocals sound more pronounced without jumping out too much. I'd be hard pressed to pick up a pair of mics sounding like this for under $3K anywhere else. |

I am always looking to get the best possible sound. Heard about the JA-87 and thought I'd have a listen see how it sounded. We went to the studio and put it up against the AKG c3000B, Rode K2, Neumann TLM103, Neumann KM184 and another mic or two.
The JA- 87 was easily the winner. The JA-87 is all I will record my vocals on.
Sounds amazing on drums and other instruments as well. |

| Running the JA-87 through an LA-610 pre gave a tight focused lead vocal which sat comfortably in the mix while retaining a high level of warmth & detail. Across both vocals and acoustic guitar the JA-87 offered an open-air quality with detailed upper mids and a rich low-end. At mix-time the tracks required little or no tweaking and occupied just the right amount of space. The JA-87 has been a really valuable addition to the mic-locker with results that defy the price-tag! |

| The hand-tuned quality of the JA-87F makes it perfect for recording guitars, vocals and anything needing a rich, warm sound. Check out Lotek's interview on using the JA-87F on Speech Debelle's new album in Remix Magazine here! |

I put my JA-87 up against all the big players in the sub $2000 LDC category (and even a few quite a bit over $2k) and it came out the clear winner on any source. It seems to have so much more detail and clarity in the highs, cleaner and clearer mids and a solid bottom end that works on even the most bass heavy instruments. Its a great studio all rounder and I'll use it on just about anything.
I've never owned a nice red diamond logo, and now I really dont feel the need! I'd rather spend my hard earned dollars on a second JA-87 so i can run a stereo pair and at this price it will still come in cheaper than buying one of the other "big name" mics. |

JA-251 |

| I purchased a JA-251 after comparing it to serveral other High Profile Microphones by some BIG names ...and i mean BIG names! The JA-251 killed them all. It basically just made the singer sound better by not actually trying harder or doing anything different. The tube design gives the sound great compression, rich harmonics, and a certain airy-ness that sits the recording really well in a mix. The multiple polarity options on the power supply make this one versatile microphone... Its like having several mics with you at once! I am one happy customer, and would more than recommend this mic to anyone looking for a real Tube Condenser under $1500.." |

| Got the JA-251. What more can I say? My old K2 is now holding the door open - I doubt I'll ever use it again for anything more... |
