Microphone The TRM-6 offers a solution for those looking for a warm,
fat signal source for under $500. by Richard Alan Salz, 8.15.2007
Richard Alan Salz heads Vermont Audio Labs (www.vtaudio.com) a
multifaceted audio consultancy. By now, all of us have become
accustomed to the flood of studio-oriented microphones originating
from the shores of China. First came the condenser, then the tube
condenser, next up was the ribbon microphone, and now we have the
latest item, the tube ribbon microphone. I’m going to let the
cat peek out of the bag just enough to tell you that this might be the
most usable Chinese microphone to arrive so far. FeaturesThe Nady
TRM-6 ($499) comes neatly packaged in the de rigeur aluminum flight
“lite” case along with an all metal shockmount, dedicated
power supply, 10-meter microphone/power supply interconnect, foam
windsc
reen and soft vinyl case for the microphone itself. All of the
components appear to be of the same quality level as other OEM style
microphones originating from China, which is to say sufficient to
perform the task at hand. Internal construction is of reasonably
decent quality, though you will notice some sloppy wiring and
indifferent metal work inside the mic. This is not your father’s
Neumann, nor is it priced as such. Like virtually all the other OEM
Chinese microphones, the quality of the cable and connectors on the
microphone and power supply are considerably lower than the Neutrik or
Switchcraft other pricier gear http://www.chinese-microphone.com/
would likely feature.Rather than the RCA-style enclosure that most of
the other Chinese ribbon microphones have adopted, the TRM-6’s
45mm low-tension two micron-thick aluminum ribbon is housed in a U 47-
style enclosure. The ribbon is protected by a mesh grille, though the
manual warns against using the microphone without a windscreen or pop
filter for vocal usage. Incidentally, the ribbon element itself is not
covered by the warranty, due to its relative fragility.While I
initially viewed the tube as a bit of a marketing gimmick, it’s
actually a great match as it makes the ribbon sound accessible to
those without high gain/low noise preamps (such as the 85 dB of gain
and transformer coupled ones in my Audio Developments AD146). Chances
are good that TRM-6 users will never have to worry about tube
availability thanks to the smart decision to use a standard 12AX7A
tube rather than a more esoteric choice. This will also allow users to
experiment with NOS and other tubes allowing for some sonic
adjustment. That said, the supplied 12AX7A seemed just fine to me.In

supplySloppy internal wiring/constructionScoreAn affordable tube
ribbon microphone that is definitely worth a listen. The TRM-6 must be
used with the included (or other universal) shockmount as there is no
provision made for stand mounting the microphone, which is probably a
good thing — the body of the mic was somewhat resonant when
tapped.You’ve probably gathered by now that there is nothing
special abo
ut the construction quality or visual design of the TRM-6. But what is
special is the sound! The Nady microphone has a smooth, warm, and
(dare I say?) fat sound. It’s the kind of microphone that sounds
tube-y in a good way. Unlike most of the other “Made in
China” tube microphones I have heard, there was no hazy
electronic veil overlaid on top of the sound source. Self-noise is
stated as a respectable 16dB. Other than usage as an ambient
microphone, the self-noise of the microphone was not intrusive, and
the characteristic of the noise was broadband enough as to be mostly
unobtrusive.Positioned about 5 feet away from a GMS maple drum kit,
the TRM-6 yielded a fat sound, which emphasized the sound of the kick
and snare drums http://www.chinese-microphone.com/ rather than the
cymbals. The cymbals were reproduced without the normal splashiness
that is the hallmark of inexpensive microphones. Heavily compressed,
the resultant sound needed just a touch of high frequency boost to be
nearly perfect. It’s almost perverse how cool the finished sound
was. Adding in some Audix D6 on the kick drum, and Audio-Technica
ATM-23 on the Ayotte Keplinger stainless steel snare drum provided the
quintessential minimally-miked roots-rock sound.Positioned 6 inches
away from a Marshall bass cabinet driven by a FBB Custom fretless
bass, the TRM-6 once again proved to be a winning combination when
paired with the Audio Developments AD146 console. With the DAV
Electronics Broadhurst Gardens No. 1 microphone preamp, it sounded
warm and smooth.The TRM-6 seemed to miss the leading edge of the
transients when called into action miking a Tom Anderson Strat-style
guitar thorough a Marshall JCM 800 2210 halfstack, although the creamy
sound produced was quite nice. I would think that the TRM-6 would
absolutely kill on a Jazz box played through a vintage amp.On male
vocals, the Nady microphone sounded large and authoritative. The TRM-6
actually made a beyerdynamic M88tg sound small by comparison. An
Electro-Voice RE-20 sounded as large in the low-end, but lacked the
midrange “creaminess” of the Nady. Suffice it to say that
the Nady was the antithesis of condenser microphones like the Gefell
M71K and amazing Violet Audio Amethyst Vintage, which ar
e my normal go-to microphones. It’s not a sound that you will
use all the time, but when you need something warm and fat, I’ve
heard nothing anywhere near the price of the TRM-6 that will even come
close. SummaryIn a market crowded with microphones that are very
similar to each other in construction and sound, the http://www.chinese-microphone.com/
Nady TRM-6 manages to distinguish itself by providing a sonic
signature completely at odds with most of its price class. Inclusion
of the tube output circuitry brings the ribbon sound to those lacking
high-gain preamps. Definitely worth a listen! Sponsored Links RF
