SOUND ON SOUND
Hugh Robjohns has been Sound On Sound's Technical Editor since 1997. Prior to that he worked in a variety of (mostly) sound-related roles in BBC Television, ending up as a Sound Operations Lecturer at the BBC's technical training centre.
He continues to provide audio consultancy and bespoke broadcast audio training services all over the world, lectures at professional and public conventions, and occasionally records and masters acoustic and classical music too!

The Konnektor promises mastering engineers the drag-and-drop simplicity and recall of plug-in remote control.
I recently acquired a Blue Rocket Stage 2 with cardioid B8 capsule, and although I really like the sound it seems a bit ‘stiff’ — in the same way that a speaker can sound ‘stiff’ until it’s been ‘burned in’. Do mic capsules ‘relax’ over time or will that stiffness persist?
When misfortune befell one of our contributors, we sent the SOS team to help him get his studio back up and running.
