Waves Abbey Road King's Microphones - Vintage EMI Microphone Modelling Plugin

Waves Abbey Road King's Microphones models three rare EMI microphones built in the 1920s and 30s for King George V, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. After decades in the EMI Archive Trust, the mics were restored to record orchestral parts and re-amp dialogue for the award-winning film The King's Speech.

Abbey Road engineers then began re-amping guitars and synths through them to get crunchy, filter-like tones, and Waves modelled the results in close collaboration with the studio. Each mic offers close, natural and ambient positions, giving you lost period timbres for sound design and music production.
