*A Professor (Keith) Johnson Pure Analog Recording: *

"These recordings are made in solidly constructed, well seasoned and proven concert spaces. Microphones are classic generic types having omnidirectional, first and second order cardiod, and bi-directional pickup patterns. These are constructed from Schepps, AKG and RCA elements direct mounted to phase and frequency compensating fast slew class A line driving amplifiers. Microphone pairs used for these recordings are phase and frequency matched to a 1/4" B&K precision reference microphone. The recordings are made without transformers, peaking equalizers or phase-destructive microphone matrices almost always encountered in professional equipment. Microphone placement techniques range from simple onmi pairs to complex multi-space delay mixxes to achieve full roundness of instruments with front to back placement in a real space. Articulation and body felt transient impact of the real performances are preserved through the use of these techniques, and by avoiding production efficient multi-mono studio mix-downs. Microphone signals feed to a virtually one-a-kind focussed gap magnetic recorder. This machine features a 3.5 megaherz beamed RF bias record head capable of recording intense high frequency energy levels. The entire system has very low time delay modulation and signal induced noise, as well as elaborate low and high frequency phase equilizers. Coupled with a near-O loop transport mechanism, the recorder has tonal purity and transient power not available from conventional recorders. The master lacquers are cut directly from this machine playing its master tape, operating at half speed, to preserve the phase, transient and amplitude characteristics of the original microphone signals."
