The Pro Audio Suite

Recently listed in Listen Notes top 5% of podcasts globally, and named in Welp magazines list of the 20 top Audio Podcasts, the Pro Audio Suite is a podcast that covers everything to do with voiceovers and audio production. We feature interviews with key players from within the industry including studio engineers in music and post-production, manufacturers of gear, plugin designers, in fact, all aspects of audio and production.

The Pro Audio Suite is different to most other podcasts. With the highest of production values, unique sound, and produced like you were listening to a real radio show.

The Pro Audio Suite will not only bring you interviews with some of the leading lights of our industry but also tips, techniques and tools to hopefully make your work life more productive and creative. Most importantly we understand you don’t want long-winded, half-assed production values, so we keep it as short, sharp and value-packed as possible.

Hosted by voice-over and audio pros, George ‘The Tech’ Whittam, Robert Marshall from Source Connect and SUM1, Darren ‘Robbo’ Robertson from Voodoo Sound and Andrew Peters a voice-over talent home studio expert.

The Pro Audio Suite features interviews with key players not just in VO but anything to do with audio and voice over.
They also talk about tech stuff, VO tips and industry news!
The Pro Audio Suite is delivered weekly.

This week the team dives into one of the strangest mics we’ve ever had on the show. A client of George’s sent through a full placement test of the Aston Element, the active moving-coil oddball with its own made-up technology name, the Rydion capsule. Aston claims it blends the bottom end of a dynamic, the clarity of a condenser, and the smoothness of a ribbon. Big call.

We compare it directly against a 416 and a TLM103, and the reactions in the room say everything. Does it punch above its weight? Is it just a quirky USB-era gimmick? Does it actually compete with entry-level VO mics? And most importantly, would any of us actually buy one?

We also wander into proximity effect, capsule placement inside shotgun mics, and George literally dismantles an NTG4 on air. Good fun.

If you’re a mic nerd or you love oddball gear, you’ll enjoy this one.
