The RØDE Soundbooth is an innovative and user friendly application that allows you to listen to various RØDE microphones in a professionally recorded, controlled environment. This allows you to see how a particular microphone might sound on a particular instrument, or to compare how different RØDE microphones sound on the same instrument. In some cases you can even select the same microphone on the same instrument but from different distances! Every instrument was recorded by world renowned producer and engineer John Merchant (Bee Gees, Celine Dion, Barbara Streisand) at world class facilities including Red Door Studio, Nashville, The Steinway Gallery, Nashville and Middle Tennessee State University. The artists featured on the tracks are some of Nashville's finest session musicians. Under the direction of RØDE John went to great lengths to ensure that the performances and recording techniques used were suitable for an application that facilitates a critical comparison between microphones. Over the course of several weeks John painstakingly recorded close to 400 individual tracks that now make up the RØDE Soundbooth.
