Today I'll be joined by Nelson Walkom from the one man operation Hohm Microphones. Designed and fabricated from scratch in Melbourne, Australia, Hohm makes premium ribbon microphones at an attractive price, made possible by selling direct and keeping overhead costs low. The designs and sound are unique and ruggedly built from raw local materials, aiming to combine the warmth and natural intimacy associated with ribbon mics, with lower floor noise, extended high frequency response, and lighter weight than what would usually come to mind for a microphone of this type. Today Nelson will be discussing his journey, the technicality of his microphones, and covering a broad combination of audio topics.
