Introducing the Wormhole Microphone, a new way to capture and enhance the low frequencies of sound sources in the studio. It's a phantom powered electret condenser microphone that has a 1.8m (6ft) hose attached to the front of the capsule. The hose is airtight and acts like a physical EQ, attenuating high and mid frequenies while letting low end signals get through. Combine that with the omni pick up pattern and the Wormhole captures low frequencies from a large area.

The Wormhole sounds like you're listening to someone playing a loud instrument in the room next door, its all low end with muted highs and mids. By itself it sounds unusual but when the Wormhole is mixed with close mics, that's when it really comes alive. Think of the Wormhole like you would a subkick mic, but instead of it being just for the kick drum, it captures the low frequencies from every drum in the kit and adds fullness and weight to the overall sound.

Early design inspiration for the Wormhole came from the gardenhose mic technique pioneered by studio legend Sylvia Massy. The gardenhose method usually creates a unique reverb effect, however the Wormhole is not about that, instead we've warped the concept to focus on low end capture.

Our favorite way to use this microphone is during a drum kit recording. If you lay the Wormhole on the ground in front of the kit, with the hose curling around the kick drum and ending under the floor tom, you will capture punchy low end for the kick drum as well as the rack toms, floor tom and to a lesser degree, the snare.

This microphone is a fairly unique beast and there are a few things to keep in mind when using it. Due to its low frequency sensitivity, we recommend just using it in the studio and not in a live performance environment. It also works best recording one instrument at a time.

The Wormhole comes with its own stand mount and a hardcase.
