WAYNE FREEMAN: Welcome to Marshall Electronics. I’m Wayne Freeman. I’m the director of sales and marketing of Marshall. We manufacture, design and produce large diaphragm condenser microphones for music recording applications as well as live stage applications. I’d like to show you a little bit about the product line and I’ll start with our top of our line and I’ll go down from there.

This is the MXL V69. It is a tube microphone. It is renowned as being one of the finest sounding microphones that has ever been built. It has an FET output stage that makes it a unique tube microphone. Most other microphones do have transistors and transistors tend to -- I’m sorry -- transformers. Transformers tend to alter the sound, especially on low end response. This is a very hot microphone and a beautiful very transient vocal microphone.

Next is our Silicon Valve microphone, the V6. It actually emulates the sound of a tube microphone in a solid state version for those people who don’t want to wait for a tube to warm up for 30 minutes before they use it.

We move over and we’ll go to some of our more conventional microphones. We have what we are very proud of. We just reintroduced the Anniversary Pack. This is a very highly successful selling skew that was developed in 2001 and we’re bringing it back in the five-year anniversary. There is a large diaphragm vocal condenser microphone and a small diaphragm guitar instrument microphone. Two very well respected microphones in a single package. It also comes with a recording primer and clips for both microphones.

What we have here is a fully self-contained truly professional large diaphragm condenser recording microphone that is battery powered. It can also operate on phantom power, so if the microphone sees phantom, it reverts to the phantom supply and doesn’t use the battery. We developed this for recording directly into a PC or a Macintosh computer with high-quality sound. Unlike the little microphone that come with the computer that are better than the screen that sound like you are on the telephone, this is a true studio recording mic.

In the kit, everything you could possibly need to connect this thing is in the kit. You have the microphone. You have an XLR-to-XLR connector to see if you can hook it up to any of the available consoles on the market. You have an adaptor that converts it from the XLR to a mini. You can go directly from your microphone into the mic input on a PC or a Macintosh. We have a mini to 1/4” adaptor plugs for Portastudios, minidisk inputs, anything that requires a 1/4”. It comes with the microphone stand and with a case, and this is available in your catalog now.

For those who need a Mac -- For those who use Macintosh, we have some -- the Macs only have line inputs. They do not have mic inputs. So, we needed to come up with a device that boosted the output from a line input to suit the Macintosh, this is the iBooster. The interesting thing about this, even though it may seem somewhat redundant, we can actually with the supplied adaptor plug an electric guitar directly into the microphone input, and this gets it into your Macintosh, so it doubles as a direct box guitar preamplifier and it’s a very cool device. It’s very inexpensive and will work with any Macintosh.

And that’s pretty much what I have here with our new product line here at the NAMM -- at the AES Show. Thanks.
