PRESS RELEASE
Crowley And Tripp Ships Naked Eye Dual-Voiced Ribbon Microphone
February 24, 2006
Advertisement Naked Eye, a new, dual-voiced ribbon microphone made by American microphone manufacturer Crowley and Tripp, has been released for domestic and international distribution, the company announced today. "Our manufacturing group accelerated the release of this new product after field trials showed the demand for a dual-voiced ribbon microphone" remarked Crowley and Tripp's Product Manager, Chris Regan. "Customers told us they wanted to have both a mellow, traditional ribbon sound, and yet also be able to record smooth, but articulate, vocals" he said. "The core voicing technology, which is unique to the Crowley and Tripp product line, makes this possible at an affordable price." Co-founder Hugh Tripp provided a tour of the new model, dubbed "Naked Eye" because the microphone is designed to be open to incoming sound, without excess layers of cloth or sound blocking protection, yet very rugged. "The A and B side sounds are patterned after our two most popular professional models, the Proscenium, and the Studio Vocalist." Tripp commented. "And by scaling up production and using the techniques we learned from precision device manufacturing over the years, we are able to control costs, yet keep the performance very high." The new microphone comes in a fitted wood storage case complete with a unique rotary microphone mount designed to be versatile, and have low diffraction effects. Naked Eye carries a three-year warranty and sells for $745 in the U.S.  (Click for close-up)Recent Crowley and Tripp Microphones headlines
