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.
SMALL DIAPHRAGM:
- Cardioid:
A very typical SD capsule, probably the one you'll use most often.
Straight cardioids pattern with nice, flat frequency response with only
minimal treble peak, giving a very true and neutral sound with just
enough reach and directionality for most jobs. The proximity effect is
totally predictable.
- Hypercardioid:
A more directional version of the Cardioid capsule, with more proximity
effect. The treble response is still very realistic and to some people,
will actually sound more "real" than the cardioid.
- Omni,
available with: Diffuse Field response: to be used when a relatively
flat treble is required off axis, for instance when the sound of the
room needs to be accurately represented (darker source).
- Free
Field response: to be used when a relatively flat treble is required on
axis, for instance when the source needs to be accurately represented
(darker room sound).
