CAD Trion 8000 Review /
See All ZenPro Audio Reviews Here: Review Page
The true standout in the Trion
series, the 8000 got my attention quickly. This multi patterned tube microphone
has a very cool “bottle” look to it that I really dig. The thing is though, the
Trion 8000 has a unique sound that I found particularly airy but in a different
kind of way. The Trion 8000 ships with power supply and cable, and a spider
shock mount in a metal case.
There is this really cool soft and
airy thing that I totally like with this mic! The stand out application for me
was close mic’d voice particularly in omni mode (with almost no bass buildup).
Talk about airy and detailed with this almost smoke-y kind of movement in the
high frequencies, and the soft midrange just takes it all in stride. There is
this slight upper midrange dip that lands right in the sibilance area (on
voices I used it on) and it just handles sibilance like a champ. Very rich and
intimate, but softer than what you expect. Acoustic instruments aren’t going to
sound bite-y or overly bright, but again the air and space around them has this
movement that is very nice. On drum room etc I thought it was a little too
delicate, but it’s not like it was ever ‘bad’ on anything.
Conclusion: For home and project
studio owners looking for that cool and close mic’d vocal sound, the Trion 8000
delivers it in abundance. Don’t think ‘sparkle’, think ‘smoky’ which is the
best way I can describe the atmosphere it catches very well.
