JAIME ENDICK: Can you tell me about some of the -- is this now a vocal mic or an instrument mic? What kind of?

SKIPPER WISE: Well, we have a very successful high-end mic. We've always been known for making Rolex-type of products, and there's a mic that's quite successful with this called the Kiwi. The Kiwi has many features, has these many patterns and options you can use with the mic. This is a single element of what the Kiwi does in its sonic signature, so it has that type of tone which is a large top and a large bottom, so it gives it a larger-than-life type of sonic signature.

JAIME ENDICK: Can you recommend any particular preamps that work you’re your microphone?

SKIPPER WISE: Well the preamp that we recommend is our Robbie mic preamp which is over here.

JAIME ENDICK: Okay. Great! We'll take a look at that.

SKIPPER WISE: Okay.
