Shure – legendojen valinta – the choice of legends – testi tulossa – review coming soon

I’ve recorded a short demo song featuring five classic Shure vocal microphones:

• The Shure 55SH Series II (as used by Elvis Presley and countless others)

• The Shure 545SD (as used by Brian Wilson on ”Pet Sounds”)

• The Shure 565SD (Freddie Mercury’s favourite live mic)

• The Shure SM57 (as used by Peter Gabriel on ”So”)

• The Shure SM58 (as used by Roger Daltrey and countless others)

I sing the line ”Listen to this mic – listen to this mic” twice using each mic. The sequence of mics is the same as in the list above.

The vocals were recorded with a Cranborne Audio Camden EC2 rack preamp plugged into a Universal Audio Volt 2 audio interface. The vocals were recorded with the playback coming from a pair of Genelec near-field monitors. The mics were used handheld and without any additional wind- or pop shields.

Esittelen tässä lyhyessä demobiisissä viisi klassista laulumikkiä Shurelta:

• Shure 55SH Series II (mm. Elvis Presley:n käyttämä)

• Shure 545SD (Brian Wilsonin mikki mm. ”Pet Sounds” -levyllä)

• Shure 565SD (Freddie Mercury:n lempimikki)

• Shure SM57 (mm. Peter Gabriel käyttämä ”So” -levyllä)

• Shure SM58 (esim. Roger Daltrey:n lempimikrofoni)

Laulan jokaisella mikrofonilla kaksi kertaa fraasin ”Listen to this mic – listen to this mic”. Järjestys on sama kuin yllä olevalla listalla.

****

Äänitin lauluääntäni Cranborne Audio Camden EC2 -räkkietuasteella Universal Audio Volt 2 interface kautta Garagebandiin. Tausta pyöri Genelec-lähimonitoreissa. Pidin mikrofonit kädessäni, enkä käyttänyt ylimääräisiä pop- tai tuulifilttereitä.

Tiedote: Seinäjokiselta Katar Kustom Kuitarsilta nimikkomallisto legendaariselle blueskitaristi Duke Robillardille

Neljä kertaa Yhdysvaltojen parhaaksi blueskitaristiksi valittu Duke Robillard saa oman kitaramallistonsa, Katar Bluesmasterin, seinäjokisen Katar Kustom Kuitarsin valmistamana. Katar Kustom Kuitarsia luotsaava seinäjokinen Jukka Kattelus on toiminut soitinrakentajana 30 vuotta.

Muun muassa Fabulous Thunderbirdsin, Bob Dylanin ja Tom Waitsin kanssa esiintynyt ja levyttänyt Duke Robillard oli taannoin kiertueella Wentus Blues Bandin kanssa Suomessa. Joukkio vieraili vapaa-ajallaan Jyväskylän Veturitallien Musamessuilla, jossa eri kitaranrakentajat esittelivät instrumenttejaan. Robillard ihastui tuolloin Jukka Katteluksen tekemään Katar Popmaster -kitaraan.

“Kokeilin muutamaa mielenkiintoista kitaraa, mutta kun tulin Katarin osastolle, olin aivan häkeltynyt siitä, kuinka hienoja Jukan kitarat olivat sekä siitä, kuinka kauniita ja hyvin rakennettuja ne olivat”, Duke Robillard kertoo ja jatkaa:
“Ulkonäkö kiinnitti tietysti huomioni ensimmäisenä. Mielestäni soittajana kitaran pitää ensin vetää puoleensa visuaalisesti. Katarin kitarat ovat visuaalisesti miellyttäviä, ja kaunis oranssi väri ja puun syykuvio tekivät ostamastani kitarasta hyvin erikoisen näköisen. Kun soitan sitä, ihmiset kommentoivat, kuinka kaunis Katar-kitara on ja kuinka hyvältä se kuulostaa!”

KATAR BLUESMASTER

“Viimeisten 50 vuoden aikana olen omistanut yli tuhat kitaraa ja Katar-kitarani on varmasti yksi parhaista omistamistani kitaroista”, Robillard ylistää Kattelusta ja seinäjokista käsityötä.

Katar Popmaster -kitara on nähtävillä myös Duke Robillard Bandin uudessa “Outta here” -musiikkivideossa.
