Get within an half an inch of the microphone capsule grill when performing. Don’t be concerned about the proximity, as the hand built large diaphragm capsule can handle loud sound pressure levels (S.P.L.). This technique will yield a present and personal timbre as if someone is speaking or singing right next to your ear!
For a great deep and present bass sound with full frequency extension, try using the direct input of the Robbie microphone preamp. Plug your bass right into the front 1/4 inch input jack and adjust the volume for the right level. It is the ultimate direct box sound!
Want to get that larger-than-life sound onto your computer? The Icicle XLR-to-USB converter allows you to do just that! Plug the Kiwi into the Icicle, which provides phantom power and analog gain control, then plug the Icicle into the USB. Turn on your favorite computer recording program and you have a recording studio at your finger tips.

There is even a Robbie pre amp in the background!
See the Robbie?
Like their name, Neon Trees are a combination of slick pop hooks and sturdy organic rock, both melodic and hard-hitting, their anthems of adolescent angst, longing, love lost and found, delivered with the kind of heart-on-the-sleeve passion that only comes from hard work and commitment.
