CHI Guide
The CHI is designed to be an extremely flexible platform offering the
demanding engineer a range of sounds going from the most classic
vintage toned capsules to the most true to the source, "straight wire",
modern specs capsules. Made to be reliable and robust, this microphone
system must be regarded as a long term investment, and one that can
only grow: indeed, as you add more capsules and accessories, your CHI
system will expand and offer more options thus enhancing your
recording, helping you getting the sounds you're after in the studio
and generally speaking, broadening your sound "palette" when recording.
The CHI head amp is a very neutral transformer-less impedance
converter, simply fed by standard 48 Volts Phantom power. It has ample
headroom, extremely low noise and is totally stable and perfectly
shielded. The main strength of the CHI system lies in its flexibility:
the transparent head amp lets you pick the sound and behaviour of the
capsule to form a combination which offers a sound ranging from
transparent and unobtrusive (using the small diaphragm capsules) and
flexible (many different polar responses) to obviously colored (any of
the large diaphragm capsules). Let's now go over the capsules one by
one.
LARGE DIAPHRAGM:
- C-Lol-12: Designed with the C12* in mind, this capsule will give the CHI head amp the color of the vintage Austrian condenser which became a favorite for pop vocal recordings. Nice predictable polar pattern control with deep bass response.
- C-Lol-47: Designed with the U47* in mind, this capsule will give the CHI head amp the color of the famous old German condenser which became a classic for mellow vocal recordings. More directional than a straight Cardioid, but still considered to be a Cardioid capsule. Can very "Robust" used close to the source.
- C-Lol-67: Designed with the U67* in mind, this capsule will give the CHI head amp the color of the "other" famous old German condenser which became the first choice for "present" vocal recordings when the U47* didn't deliver enough HF information. Nice, even Cardioid response, with predictable proximity effect.
- C-Lol-251: Designed as an alternative to the C12*, to emulate the ELAM 251* and its unique treble presence. The top octave has a unique 15K peak but the presence band peaks right in the middle of the vocal range. This is a perfect modern pop microphone. Like the C-Lol-12, it has a nice, even, Cardioid response, with gradual, predictable proximity effect.
