I asked it & they won't tell us. As well as who makes the capsule (Haun?). Guess we'd have to open it up.

This Chandler mic sounds WONDERFUL and very rich and euphonic to me. I'm hoping for a pair after I hit the lottery. One of the few "newly designed" mics that aren't clones that have risen to the top in the last couple of decades. EXCELLENT work Chandler!

All the Chandler REDD gush over this mic makes me second guess my decision to send it back. I found it to be a top shelf mic, but also found it to have a led top end. Does that make sense? You know how incandescent lights can soften things, but led lights kinda expose everything? That’s how I felt. It exposes details, which could work in your favor if you are working with top shelf sources in a top shelf room. I do want to give it another go sometime, though. Maybe driving it into a REDD47.

Well, it already has a REDD Pre inside - one of the many variables it uses for sound even though it's wired as "part" of the sound but I use it with an external pre (Avalon 2022). Don't know exactly what you mean by a "led top end" or "top shelf mic" but it does bring out the highs in a natural way. I find it very balanced from the highs through the mids to the lows. The sibilances are also very smooth & there are no "boxy" audible bumps on the mids like some other high-end mics. Per exposing details, I like mics that bring out evrything, in a musical way. And, yes, this one does.

I feel you on that, Indiehouse. I have the REDD and I've struggled at times with the super detailed top end, often preferring my Soundelux U99 over it. I have found lately that I've much more happy with the REDD when feeding it into a second mic pre. In my case I've used a CAPI VP28 and a Heritage 73jr. Both pres seem to do something for the redd that makes me happier. Another note: I wouldn't call the REDD "bright" even though it has super extended highs. The main adjective that remains constant for me is "smooth". Nothing strident about the mic.

I wouldn’t even say “bright”, though it is considerably brighter than my 67. It’s just the details this mic captures leaves nowhere to hide.

I've only had the chance to try the REDD through two pre's, ... one using its internal Redd Pre, ..and another time using a Martinsound Martech MSS-10 - Preamp. While they both sounded good, I was surprised I preferred hearing my vocals on the Chandler Redd going through the Martech pre over the internal one.

Hey guys, just a a couple quick note on the REDD Microphones. The REDD Mic is pure transmission due to the design and is capturing the detail for the source in the room from top to bottom all the information is captured, giving the engineer the power to take away what they don't want or need; drsax can chime in on how he easily tames the top detail via a subtle shelf at about 6k. The REDD Mic is almost like a scientific instrument, it's uncanny how it can reveal a lot about what's going on in your environment and even your studio's electronics path; I've experienced this multiple times with REDD owners. The REDD preamp is always there, because the REDD.47 is the mic. When you send it into an external preamp, you can blend between the REDD and external preamp to great effect. For example, a if pugging the REDD Mic's line level output into another preamp, you'd be coming at about 1k times hotter than mic level to clean it up by setting the external preamp to 'line' level and then blend between the REDD's gain and the outboard preamps gain. However, if for example you want to intentionally overdrive the external preamp, then by all means keep the outboard preamp set to mic level and now you're in quasi Revolution mode...in fact if you did this with a REDD.47 rack mount preamp, you'd be tantamount to Revolution in using one REDD.47 preamp to overdrive a second one; real awesome combination for massive drum distortion! Hope all that helps!

Yes IMHO "superextended" is THEE word for the REDD. Being as the U99 (along with the Bock 67) is my favorite 67 style mic of all-I understand the U99/REDD comparison. For a rock mix/Power Ballad/dense mix,etc., I'd prefer the REDD, in order to cut through better though.
Loved the video BTW! Chris

And, yes, this one does. This is one of the reasons it interests me so much. For drum OH's, I've been chasing that vintage C12 sound for a decade or two, and have realized I'll never own a pair. I want something tube, euphonic, and detailed on the HF, and the REDD sounds like it could be the one....I mean pair.

HYPER realistic and detailed. Sometimes, it's just too much. I could make an analogy, but it would be too much and gross people out. LOL

Hope all that helps! As spock (Adam) mentioned, I have found when recording with the REDD Mic, that if you want a more vintage style sound, ala 67, take a high shelf with a gentle slope from 5 or 6kHz and up, and pull the highs back 6-10dB. It is shockingly good that way and does not sound “eq’ed” or veiled like most mics would be with that drastic of a cut. It also works great with a tilt style EQ that boosts lows and pulls back highs evenly. It’s really a thing of beauty. It sounds amazing flat, and it sounds amazing eq’ed. It’s the most versatile LDC I have ever used. And the internal preamp has never made me feel restricted. But, as many have already commented, it also works great with other mic pres as well.

Thanks drsax, my experience echoes most of what has been shared in this thredd: the REDD is incredibly ‘detailed’. A lot of my recent projects have been more rock oriented where the high resolution of the REDD hasn’t been the right fit right out of the gate. I’ll have to try the high-shelf trick and see how it fares, because it really is gorgeous sounding. Recorded female back up vocals the other day and had a big smile on my face while I was editing the takes.

I would like to get the REDD mic separate from the preamp. Maybe a preamp-less REDD? Or a package deal with the REDD-less mic preamp with the external preamp in one box? That would be cool!
