How I record car sounds (Pro Tapes)

July 07, 2022/ Watson Wu

Pro Tapes company hired me to film how I record sounds from an Audi R8 sports car. Watch how I safely rig microphones and microphone cables on the vehicles to capture high speed Onboard sounds. Onboard means sounds from Driver and Passenger perspectives. This is all possible when I use the Pro Gaff gaffer tape. This particular tape is essential to keep my recording

New RØDE WU-2 microphone

April 26, 2021/ Watson Wu

RØDE Microphones has designed and made me new WU-2 microphones (yes, named after me).

This bad boy is a large diaphragm condenser mic based on the popular NT1 body but with upgraded circuitry etc parts to handle extremely LOUD recordings (gunshots and explosions). The cardioid pattern, ceramic finish mic responds to full frequency (20-20,000 Hertz) and can take beating up to 160 decibels. Instead of the side it is an end address style to point at something specific.

Thank you, RØDE!
