Frayed Technologies

And development progresses.

5 mics in the studio, 5 more on the bench, 3 at Ray’s in Perth and 1 with Julio Santos. We have an even mix of passive and active versions.

I’ve been comparing their performance against a commercial version from MXL and I’m almost there.

I’ve spent some time this last few weeks adding shielding to the transformer and now use shielded wire to connect everything.

The passive mic will be model PRM1 and the active phantom powered model will be ARM1.

Haven’t fixed a price yet but I’m shooting for intro pricing of $200 for the ARM1 and $150 for the PRM1.

Got a little bit more testing and tweaking but we’ll start taking orders soon ...
