M900T & SCL1 join the arboretum
US-based gear manufacturer Charter Oak Acoustic Devices have announced a new microphone, the M900T. Like the standard M900, it’s a small-diaphragm end-fire mic, but it features a tube-driven head preamplifier, along with a US-made Cinemag output transformer, rather than solid-state, transformerless circuitry, as used on the original version.
It comes with the same three capsules as the M900, giving it omnidirectional, hypercardioid and cardioid capabilities. It's also got a -15dB pad, which can be handy when using the mic on loud sources, and a high-pass filter, which attenuates sound below 75Hz and will help to suppress stand-borne rumbles.
Also new from Charter Oak is the SCL1, a solid-state compressor/limiter, which is apparently capable of providing a constant output level that’s free of ‘pumping’ artefacts, regardless of the input level or frequency.
That’s about all we know about the SCL1, as it’s due to be formally announced during Amsterdam AES Show in mid-May. We’ll keep you up to date on all the latest news nearer the time.
In the meantime, why not check out the Charter Oak Entertainment Group web site, which spotlights the company's other business ventures: Studio 45 and Charter Oak Multimedia.
