Do you ever feel like you’re not quite capturing what you’re hearing in the room? 🎤
Sometimes it’s not about more level, it’s just about picking up what’s already there.
That’s where something like the DM-1S comes in, great for those smaller details that can easily get lost ✨

Sometimes one mic does the job. Other times, two give you the balance you’re looking for 🎸
Using DELTA 2 alongside HALO lets you capture both the body and the bite of an amp, without relying too much on processing later.
Do you find yourself blending mics, or keeping it to one? 🧐

Had quite a few requests for my set up so here you go!
Thanks to @sontronics & @xvive_audio for the support!
Equipment in order of appearance:
Suitcase - I just get a big cheap one from Primark
2 x Roland Street Cube EX
Jack Cable Cables - For Guitar, linking speakers, linking FX pedals
XLR Cables - For Mic
Music Cable - specific name is Stereo Jack to mini Aux Cable
Mini Jack to Phone Adapter
Vocal Pedal - I use Zoom V3 cos the reverb is sick and it has harmony effects but the reverb on Cube is does have a really good default reverb so this isn’t essential
Sontronics Mic - Best mic I’ve ever used, powerful and perfect for busking however I also use it for live shows
Xvive U45 In Ear Monitors - This isn’t essential however I would recommend IEM’s to anyone, it’s my favourite bit of kit and Xvive are a fantastic, affordable option for all types of performance.
IEM Earphones - shown around 50 seconds in, I just get £30 ones from Amazon, they do the trick!
CD’s, Business Cards, Busking Sign - these are all perfect ways to increase income & promote yourself!
Rechargeable Batteries - Amazon do loads of great ones, saves SO much money having to buy them every time you busk.
SET UP:
1. Put rechargeable batteries into cube speakers and place in front of you
2. Plug microphone into processor or straight into speaker (flick to mic setting on amp, jack cable from right line out to mic input if using processor)
3. Plug your Music cables into the right & left input on the same speaker your mic is plugged into.
4. As shown in the video, get a jack cable and in your main speaker go from ‘right line out’ to ‘right line in’ on the other speaker to carry the sound over.
5. Plug in ear reciever into left line out of either speaker, clip in your sender to your belt or pocket and insert earphones.
6. Make CD’s & signs nic and visible.
7. Enjoy your busk!
Let me know if you have any questions 😁
And the winner is…

@sontronics challenged our students to create something unique using the Sontronics Zeta. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all the students who entered! 🎙️
We were pleased to be involved in the @musicproducersguild event 'Inside the Take on Live Tracking' at The @winchesteraudiobarn yesterday.
It was fascinating hearing the different approaches engineers take when recording musicians performing together live, and how much of the final result comes down to decisions made at the source, mic choice, placement and the way musicians interact in the room all play a big part in shaping the recording.
Thank you to the Music Producers Guild for hosting such an engaging session, and to everyone who joined us on the day.
Great conversations and a really enjoyable event.
