CX Magazine Shure VP89 Shotgun Microphone Review

February 2013

CX (Issue 78) review Shure's VP89 Shotgun Microphones.

When the VP89 was announced I was pretty curious to see how good it was. I got hold of a pair of VP89L mics and over a month took them to a bunch of gigs to evaluate in real life conditions. I record live bands on real stages, and the big challenges I’ve encountered with crowd mics are those of pattern control and SPL handling.

December 2012

Mixdown (Issue 224) review Shure's SE215 Earphones.

With more and more musicians turning to in ear monitoring on stages these days, there are a lot of systems out there that let themselves down with poor quality ear buds that really do not suit the intended purpose. That is why I see more people turning to Shure ear buds for a better fit, a more discreet placement and the sound quality that you want when you're on stage.

May 2012

Audio Technology (Issue 87) review Shure's SRH1440 Professional Open Back Headphones.

When Mark Davie dropped off this pair of SRH1440s onto my desk with a ‘lemme know what you think’, I immediately unzipped the case and whacked them on. There’s an easy effortlessness in the tone and imaging, and this is definitely my experience with the 1440s. They’ve been an absolute pleasure to use – the tone is really well balanced and the detail is excellent.
