One question. There was a fair amount of audible hiss on that--what was the source of it? not complaining, just curious. It was sort of nostalgic actually.

That was something that we threw together at the last minute quite some time ago. It was done in an open room without a whole lot of care/time for setup/soundcheck. The idea was to see how great these mics performed on their own, without spending tons of time. The whole project was completed (start to finish) in 30 minutes. The signal chain is listed in detail on our website.

I'm not sure what the "hiss" is that you're hearing but perhaps it's just room noise that came through (or maybe it's the CEMC6's airy quality picking up the room a bit). I don't really hear a "hiss". Also, remember that there is no eq, no compression, etc. This is all raw. Perhaps filtering out the ultra low end would alleviate what you are hearing?

So, the end result is that if the mics sound that great in a Guerrilla style recording, imagine how amazing they sound when you actually spend some time. You wouldn't believe how many people have purchased Peluso mics based on that one soundfile. The craziest thing is the girl had never sung into a mic before. I convinced her to do it because I wanted to show a female voice on the 22 251. She's incredible.
