Best customer service I've ever encountered. My guitar arrived ahead of the date it was supposed to, in flawless condition. Played well right out of the box. I will be buying all of my gear from you, from here on out. You made me feel like I was ordering a custom guitar, just for me. I was treated like a valuable customer.

Bock - Better than the rest!

by Duke Morgan Productions LLC from Las Vegas NV

Music Background: Pro voice over ,commercial and concert spot producer
This microphone has the ability to capture a vocal and have it cut through.

The Voice Over just cuts through no matter what!
I recently voiced and produced spots for SGT PEPPER LIVE Featuring Cheap Trick for the Las Vegas Hilton Showroom in Las Vegas. Cheap Trick recordings are LOUD however I did not have to lower the volume to compensate for the Voice Over. My voice over using the Bock 5 Zero 7 just cut through. The producers of the show were blown away by the spots. Imagine if you’re recording singers! It can take any volume you can throw at it! Mate it to a quality pre amp and you’re flying! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Gilbert Janke
Please pick my jaw up off the floor! Even after working for years in commercial recording studios - and using many of the industry standards - the Bock Audio 5-ZERO-7 has absolutely stunned me! The intimacy it brings to the recordings in my studio has been nothing short of astounding. The tonal balance in the midrange is right where one would like it, and it has a beautiful top end that is everything but harsh or smeared. The only question in one's mind should be what preamp to pair it with! I recently used it to record my wife (who is a professional vocal teacher), and she said she's never heard her vocals sound so silky and three-dimensional. You owe it to yourself to hear David Bock's flagship masterpiece!
