Hendy Amps LDC

Versatile, Massive Tone, Articulate
The Hendyamps LDC Mic is truly a one of a kind piece that instantly improves the quality of all audio recordings. Be ready to hear your source material in a level of immersion and three dimensionality that you simply have not experienced before!

Capsule
The capsule chosen for this mic was a C12 style, primarily for its full sonic spectrum and detail articulation. This choice was made in order to give the internal circuit a full bandwidth to then amplify and shape in any way desired.

Circuit
From this capsule, the general Warhol preamp circuitry was chosen as the base for the microphone because the high voltage mosfet topology paired so well with the capsule and was able to truly capture source material in a way that simply sounded like it was finished. The purpose of this mic was not to conform the source material to itself, but to instead conform to the source material and enhance it in every way possible.

Tone Knob
One of the most popular additions to this mic is the Tone knob for it allows the engineer to alter the entire tonal response of the mic as it rolls off the highs and high mids as the knob is turned down (in the noon position is "default").

Pad Switch
The Pad switch allows for sources with higher SPL's to be used with this mic. As well, it changes the overall tonal balance in the mic lightly making for a useful option when tracking.

Between the Tone control, the Pad switch, and the overall sound of this mic, it has become the perfect choice for nearly every source - Vocals, piano, acoustic guitar, strings, horns, bass, electric guitar, drum overheads and room mics, etc. The options are endless and it is why this mic is the only mic we use here in the Hendyamps studios (along with the Hendyamps SDC mic) for ALL sources.
