Bock Audio Announces AM 50 Omni Tube Mic
No pictures yet, but Bock Audio (a smaller boutique U.S.-based mic manufacturer) is announcing the AM 50 Omni Tube Mic at AES this year. If you haven’t heard a Bock microphone before, I urge you to do your damned best to try, because they’re inspiring microphones to hear.
I first heard Bock mics at a TransAudio Group Roadshow in Sacramento last year a small group of engineers were introduced us to the world’s first elliptical diaphragm condenser mic. Hearing his mic first hand on drums, acoustic guitar and some other sources was one of the most exicitng experiences of my music production career. It’s only beat out by the first time I got to mix a song solo on an SSL 9000 J-Series Console.
Hopefully I’ll be able to snag a listen and a picture of this sure to be AWESOME mic at Aes (Booth #555).
Press Release after the Break:

Las Vegas, NV – TransAudio Group, the worldwide distributor for BOCK AUDIO, is introducing the new BOCK AUDIO AM 50 omni-tube microphone at the 127th AES Convention in New York. Focused on a tradition that stretches back to classical orchestral recording microphones of the 1950s, the BOCK omni-directional AM 50 is similarly intended to capture the natural ambience of groups of acoustic instruments, from small ensembles to large orchestras. It is particularly well-suited for use in a Decca Tree configuration.
The BOCK AM 50 features a half-inch diaphragm mounted in a sphere offering unique frequency-dependant directional characteristics. The capsule is mated to BOCK-designed tube electronics for wide bandwidth and dynamics. In addition, the custom BOCK inductor loaded linear power supply offers the best combination of long-term power, low noise floor and high-end mic sonic performance.
BOCK AUDIO, established in 2007, builds the personal designs developed over the last eleven years by mic expert David Bock in Los Angeles, California.
