JZ Microphones plāno doties uz NAMM 2012 izstādi, ASV un kā mums paziņoja skaņu inženiere Sylvia Massy (System Of A Down, Tool, Built To Spill u.c.) viņa ir sajūsmā par JZ Pop Filter un to ir nominējusi NAMM TEC Award.

Pagājuši trīs mēneši kopš veiksmīgās dalības 2011.gada NAMM izstādē, ASV un šobrīd redzami rezultāti – noslēgts līgums ar JZ Microphones izplatītāju Šveicē ar kuru iepazināmies izstādē, tāpat notiek aktīvas sarunas par sadarbību ar izplatītājiem Ķīnā. Joprojām ir jūtama interese par mūsu produktiem, it sevišķi JZ Pop Filter un šeit liels nopelns ir tā veiksmīgā prezentācija NAMM 2011.gada izstādē. Projekts tiek īstenots ar LIAA atbalstu, ar kuru JZ Microphones ir noslēgts sadarbības līgums Nr. L-ĀTA-09-0169.

Ar prieku varam paziņot, ka sadarbībā ar Latvijas Investīciju un Attīstības Aģentūru (LIAA) esam noslēguši līgumu par apmācībām akustikas un ražošanas specialitātēs. Projekta līguma nr. L-APA-10-0018.

Pēc četru gadu piedalīšanās NAMM izstādē, JZ Microphones beidzot iekaroja stenda vietu starp lielākajiem ražotājiem. Ja atceramies, ka pirmo gadu mums tika piešķirta vieta pagrabā, kur bija salīdzinoši mazs apmeklētāju skaits, tad šogad mums tik tiešām tika piešķirta viena no labākajām vietām. Līdz ar to pieauga arī apmeklētāju skaits un vislielāko uzmanību izpelnījās JZ Microphones jaunākais produkts JZ Pop Filter, kas bija viens no izstādes lielākajiem pārsteigumiem. Daudzi cilvēki, gan mūziķi, gan industrijas darbinieki nāca apskatīt Pop Filter un nebija vīlušies pēc redzētā. Rezultātā šis noteikti bija labākā no četrām NAMM izstādēm, tika iegūti jauni kontakti, atrasti vairāki sadarbības partneri un iegūtas pozitīvas atsauksmes, kam būs liela nozīme nākotnē. Paldies LIAA par iespēju JZ Microphones piedalīties NAMM izstādē. Projekts tiek īstenots ar LIAA atbalstu, ar kuru JZ Microphones ir noslēgts sadarbības līgums Nr. L-ĀTA-09-0169.

Dodamies uz Frankfurtes Music Messe izstādi ar LIAA atbalstu , ar ko JZ Microphones ir noslēgts līgums Nr. L-ĀTA-09-0169

One of our distributors – Ivo Sedlacek (Czech Republic) made a great job for all of us by recording some samples with very respectable microphones and inserting them into Gearslutz as blind samples, so everybody could make objective judgment about the sound of microphones. Well, first thanks to all who made comments about samples and told their thoughts about the sound & microphones. I think it was very interesting discussion with surprising results…

Here are these samples:

Song 1:

1

2

3

4

5

Song 2:

A

B

C

In this shootout songs was recorded with different mics: Neumann U47, M49, Manley Gold, Horch RM2, JZ V47 and BH-2. Everybody could say their opinion and guess which mic is which. Of course there were different preferences but mainly the struggle was between Horch RM2 and JZ V47. Well, just think about what is the price difference for these two mics!?!?

It was nice to see that many preferred #3 in Song 1 which exactly was Vintage V47 mic! Especially it was funny when many said that #3 has the Neumann u47 vintage tone!   I just want to remind that V47 is not a tube mic but the quality of sound is at least in the same level as old & respectable tube mics. Many before hearing the mics doubt us for this approach that we are not using a tube but transistor.

In general I can say about this shootout that this still approves that people are having various tastes of sound and that people nowadays used to be very detailed when they evaluate the sound. Plus, this also shows that it is absolutely possible nowadays to compete with big name microphone brands and that the best way how to evaluate the mics is blind tests because it seems that many today are still much focussed only on brand named gears and are very reserved against new things!

Finally I want to offer also the opinion of our friend Ivo from Czech Republic who made this shootout: „Although many people joined our experiment and shared their opinions about the sound & mics, next time such a test would have to be conducted in more detailed way. This shootout show that people has various tastes and regarding JZ V47 mic opinions were quite consistent – it was often described as pleasant and “right”. Also the price for the V47 seems to be very good!”

Here are also some other phrases about V47 mic from Gearslutz shootout:

„The most pleasingly present. Brings the vocal to the forefront in just the right way.”
„I think A was the most balanced overall.”

„Is not bad at all. More vintage. Neumann vibe Prolly the u47. I love it for this song and singer!”

„Just sat in the mix well. A very sweet and intimate sound. It just sounds ‘right’”
„The #3 has the Neumann u47 vintage tone.”

„It’s funny how a lot of you guys said that the JZ47 was the one with the Neumann U47 tone.”
