LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - SEPTEMBER 2008: TransAudio Group, the worldwide
distributor for Bock Audio, is launching the new Bock Audio 5-ZERO-7 hand-built, large body tube microphone at the 125th AES Convention in San
Francisco. Bock Audio, established in 2007, builds the personal designs developed over the last ten years by mic expert David Bock in Los Angeles California.
Engineered to fulfill high-end vocal applications, the 5-ZERO-7 is the first
mic to take advantage of a new patent-pending elliptical large capsule
design by David Bock and George Cardas. In development for over five years,
this new capsule, hand manufactured in Germany to the highest standards, is
different from capsule designs both past and present. Offering many
technical advantages over existing round capsule designs, the Bock/Cardas
Ellipse delivers higher levels of audio performance than has been seen
before.
The Bock 5-ZERO-7 is the first but not last mic to take advantage of this
new capsule technology. Designed as a traditional tube mic/power supply
package, the Bock 5-ZERO-7 is a large body mic with a beefy tube, audio
transformers, fully discrete electronics and custom power supply very
similar to those found in 1947 era microphones. Unique mechanical and
acoustical design enables a performance level from the 5-ZERO-7 that exceeds
the sum of its parts. The mic is particularly suited to the very best,
top-level vocalists.
Brad Lunde, president of TransAudio Group, said, "For years, we've been
asked to offer a mic that could compete with the best 47s and other
legendary vocal microphones. Now we have the 5-ZERO-7 that incorporates
unique designs that are technically superior. This is the best sounding
vocal mic David Bock has ever built."
US Retail Price is $6,995.
TransAudio Group, founded by industry veteran Brad Lunde, has quickly become
the premier U.S. importer/distributor and/or U.S. sales and marketing
representative for high-end audio. Success hinges on TransAudio providing
dealers and end users with a higher standard of product expertise and
support far beyond the norm.
