Chapter 1: Introducing the AMM-1
Overview
If you’ve spent any time lately flipping through the pages of pro
audio magazines, you have almost certainly noticed the intense
focus on microphones. From the proliferation of exotic new mics to
the almost cult-like following of certain historical classics, never has
the choice been greater. But amassing a substantial collection of
high-end mics is financially prohibitive for all but the most well-
heeled studios.
Enter the Antares AMM-1.
Using our patented Spectral Shaping Tool™ technology, we’ve
created digital models of a wide variety of microphones, from
historical classics to modern exotics, as well as a selection of
industry-standard workhorses. Simply tell the AMM-1 what
microphone you are actually using and what microphone you’d
like it to sound like. It’s as simple as that.
With the AMM-1, you can afford to record each track through a
model of the specific mic that will best produce that ideal sound
you’re looking for. Or use it in live performance to get the sound
of mics you’d never consider using on stage. You can even use it
during mixdown to effectively change the mic on an already
recorded track.
Not only do the models reproduce the sonic characteristics that
make each microphone unique, but they also give you control
of each mic’s specific options. Does the mic have a low cut filter?
If so, it’s in the model. Wind screen on or off? Close or far place-
ment? Each option results in the same sonic effect that it would
have with the actual modeled mic. And for that final touch of
perfection, you can even add some tasty tube saturation.
And with the ability to download new models from our web
site, the AMM-1 will always keep you at the forefront of the
microphone art.
