APPLICATIONS
Area 51's were used recently to track Vocals for Manhattan Transfer’s Got Swing on Telarc. “ . . . for those who want the ultimate in authentic retro-sonics." Stephen Stone -- Vintage Guitar Magazine. Recent CD's Include Steinway Concert Artist Joe Augustine - two Area 51's were the sole microphones used to track his Steinway model D! At least 1/3 of the first 100 Commemoratives went to Grammy Artists. They Heard It!

With the Area 51 you have access to 17 different microphone timbres. With the exception of omni (which has the same response both front and back capsule) 8 of the 9 Polar Patterns have Totally Different Response Curves on Front and Back Capsules! This makes it ideal for a Wide Variety of Vocalists.
The TT Goes From Very Vanilla to Dark Chocolate! Multi-Patterned, Multi-Colored, and Very Versatile!
