"My EV 605 and my custom Bullet have built in vol controls which aren't half as good as yours - they are only useful in the last 1/3 of the pot range- yours are useful through the entire range of the dial. I have a great brown biscuit and a Shure 777 and a salt shaker that I use all the time - with your vol controls they are great mics" -- Roger J,, Weehawken, NJ
"Just a note to say thanks. Your in line volume control is sweet. The taper is smooth and very very even. Top shelf engineering down to every detail. Obviously a lot of thought went into this and it shows. Thanks for one of those little things in life that just makes you feel good." -- Jeff R., Morrisonville, NY
The perfect solution to volume management for microphones with Switchcraft connectors.
The control is slim -- only 3/4" in diameter, and lightweight --- just 1.4 oz. You can position the knob where it is most comfortable for you, so it is not prone to "accidental adjustment." This can be a real problem with on-mic controls as you constantly re-adjust your cupping/holding hand position.You can move the control from mic to mic easily, making it far less expensive than adding built-in controls to individual mics.
The control is high quality, made from machined and anodized aluminum and designed to withstand the rugged performance environment.
Recording artist David Barrett, respected harp player, teacher and owner of Harmonica Master Class Company, tested this control with all kinds of mics - crystal, controlled magnetic, controlled reluctance and dynamic - and simply had this to say: "I think you made it perfect."
The control is easily adapted for microphones with 1/4" phono jacks as opposed to the standard vintage "Switchcraft connector."
