Dear Friends,

It's been a while. We have been idling, awaiting our new bass microphone, and IT IS FINALLY HERE!!!

Building on the strengths of the Chuck Israels signature microphone, we have adressed its weaknesses in a way that we are very excited about sharing with the bass world.

The result is a small, and lightweight microphone, easily attached over your F-hole with the included clamp (or using an H-clamp with an adapter if you prefer).

The circuit board and electronics have been moved outside the microphone, into an elegant preamp, with both XLR and Line outputs for maximum versatility.

The perks of the Xlson Microphone System:

- Rich, Natural Sound
- Minimizes sound bleed from other instruments
more than any other condenser microphone (to our knowledge)
- Pre-amp with optimizing wheel to control
the instrument-to-bleed ratio
- Less prone to feedback than most condenser microphones
- Easy to mount

As if this wasn't enough - we have also managed to shave the price a bit, making it more affordable than its predecessor.

We'd love to hear what you think!

Keep Swinging,

Peter, Leonard and the rest of the team at Xlson Audio

Dear Bassplayer friends,

Hang in there.
We know and feel your struggle in these dark times.

As per this week, we have dropped the price of "The Chuck" by 24%, at least until music for real starts to play again at the venues.

We know that when you are barely hanging on by your teeth to survive, this price drop doesn't make much of a difference. But then again, for some of you, it might.

We wish you the best, and may life soon return back to normal, or forward to a new normal, where the timeless sound of the music we all love is again heard.

Check the new pricing on xlsonaudio.com

Hang in there.
