Microphones

The heart of any recording studio is it's microphone collection. Pacifica Studios takes pride in its collection of vintage and modern microphones honed over many years of studio expertise

Special attention is taken to match the perfect microphone with the needs of the musical piece. What is the right mic for the job? That depends on what you intend to record and for what purpose. Microphones come in all different shapes, sizes, and styles for a range of applications. Microphone choice is essential for smooth sounds and proper EQ balance, which is what we strive for at Pacifica Studios. Our microphone collection is one of features at Pacifica Studios that allows us to produce high-quality recordings.

Many studios use a broad paintbrush approach to mic placement, this leaves you with a dull, flat recording. We excel at matching the microphone to the sound of the instruments and the needs of the vocalist so we can capture the resonating color of the piece and as always reproduce the groove and the vibe of your unique sound. Whether you are recording original material for an album, jingle for television, radio, internet, or a film soundtrack you will find that you have everything you need in our studio. We are happy to offer a well-equipped, professional and welcoming studio in which to work.
