Curio's - The "Practical Research" File, of Mike Skeet - Introduction and Index

Who is Mike Skeet ?

1 - Many of us will already know of Mike Skeet, as an equipment "Reviewer" who gives practical information on a product, rather than just technical facts. Not forgetting the many interesting/fascinating articles Mike has written in various Hi-Fi/Recording related magazines over the past decades.

2 - Mike is someone who has dedicated the majority of his life to sound recording and practical research into microphone placement, especially that required for surround sound. Never being totally satisfied with "Off the shelf" units, Mike spends much time experimenting with his own microphone configurations. Designing and building various microphone arrays, together with any associated "Black Boxes", in an effort  to capture a more accurate recording of the live performance.
