![]() The ATC SCM45A was one of two systems able to accomplish this. “We spent months developing the ideal human voice reamplification system by finding the right combination of high-resolution microphones to “bottle” the human voice and loudspeaker to reproduce the voice as its surrogate. “The idea to use loudspeakers to reproduce the human voice consistently every time came from our many conversations with the microphone manufacturers themselves who use this technique in their own R&D process,” said Audio Test Kitchen co-founder, Alex Oana. ![]() To accurately represent characteristics of large diaphragm condenser microphones, Audio Test Kitchen recorded singers in an anechoic chamber, then reproduced those voices through an ATC SCM45A loudspeaker one at a time into each of 250 product microphones. ![]() It’s a true “apples-to-apples” comparison. They have carefully eliminated all variables in the source and signal chain so that the only difference heard is due to the gear in the spotlight. Distributor, TransAudio Group, the accuracy of ATC monitors helped Audio Test Kitchen solve this problem by serving as a consistent ‘surrogate’ for the human voice.Īudio Test Kitchen’s unbiased audio product comparison website enables users to clearly hear the true personality of a piece of gear and to compare it with other gear in the same category. But because no human is capable of singing the same every time into 250 microphones, using an actual singer might cause you to falsely attribute vocal performance differences to microphone differences. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – OCTOBER 2019: If you’re going to properly compare 250 microphones, you have to make sure the source is identical 250 times.
