Jeremy Zuckerman / Legend of Korra, Echo Society

“I use the N8 and N22 on just about everything at this point. Their silky, smooth, yet detailed sound gets me a great recording that sits well in the mix every time, whether I’m recording strings, guitar, piano, winds, voice… They’re extremely musical and have become an integral part of my sound. ”

– Jeremy Zuckerman

An AEA N22 was blended in as a focus mic to capture solely the Ehru. In the following audio clip, everything is captured–including the sound of the ocean, a crying baby, the loud audience, and the beautiful sound of the orchestra.
