The session
“I have recently created 2 new LPs. The first was directly cut to vinyl at Air Studios here in London. The performance is of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and the LP has already collected great praise through out the Audiophile world. I used my 3 Flea M50s in a Decca Tree configuration and I have to say they performed superbly.
I then took the Venetian orchestra into a large concert hall – St John’s Smith Square, where I created a live recording. As you can see from the LPs Artwork (which I released as a 12” 45rpm) I used all of my Flea Microphones for the event. 3 Flea M50s in a Decca tree and 3 Flea U47s were placed in front of the Harpsichord, Cello and for the soloist.
Again the mics performed superbly and I was happy to feature them in the front and back cover artwork.”
