Cabinet Microphones - Universal Audio OX Operation Manual

Cabinet Microphones

The six close mics (and one DI box) used on each of the speaker cabinets are listed
below. The close mics can be individually accessed for any cabinet within the OX
software app.
Dynamic Speaker Modeling allows any single close mic, or any two different close mics,
to be used on any cabinet. The close mics can be panned for stereo captures.
Additionally, because Dynamic Speaker Modeling allows each close mic to be individually
positioned on or off axis, an extraordinarily broad sonic pallet is available.
DYN 57
The dynamic "57" has been the industry standard in the US for recording loud guitar
amps since the late '60s. Our model is based on a vintage unit from the '70s. With a
natural bass roll off and accentuated upper midrange, this mic always cuts through any
mix with practically no need for console EQ.
DYN 421
The dynamic "421" has been a favorite choice for guitar in Europe since the early '60s.
Our model is based on a vintage white unit from 1963. The "421" has thicker bottom
end and smoother treble response than the dynamic "57" making it a great choice for
smooth distorted tones.
RIB 160
The ribbon "160" was used by England-based recording engineers to capture loud guitar
amps and drums on some of the greatest rock records of the late '60s. Our model is
based on a vintage silver unit from the '60s. It has a smooth midrange and warm treble
response.
RIB 121
The ribbon "121" is a modern classic for electric guitar. With its silky high end and
extended bass frequency range, many engineers pair the "121" with the "57" to even
out the sound. The "121" is also great on its own, but depending on the speaker, you
may want to use LOW CUT on the mic channels.
CON 414
The condenser "414" is the perfect mic for capturing high end clarity and low end
punch. This solid-state condenser mic can instantly deliver a modern-sounding "smile"
EQ curve. Depending on the speaker, you may want to use LOW CUT on the mic
channels.
