Black Friday Microphone Sale 2024

New to Roswell Pro Audio?

If you are not already familiar with our microphones, we welcome the opportunity to make an introduction!

We manufacture large-diaphragm condenser microphones in northern California, combining deeply-researched and fanatically optimized circuit topologies with best-in-class components, hands-on soldering and assembly, and meticulous testing.

The "Mini K" product line offers four distinct capsule voicings and two distinct circuit designs, resulting in a collection of problem-solving microphones that readily outperform higher-cost alternatives while retaining "point and shoot" ease of use.

Read more about our origins and philosophy in an essay called "Science. Not Fiction," or in this MusicTech Magazine interview with company founder Matthew McGlynn.

See some of our album credits. Find video demos here, or see this collection of music videos that were Recorded with Roswell.

Custom Shop: new colors, discounted

We just added five new colors to the Custom Shop. Most cosmetic upgrades are discounted 30% (while supplies last). The discount will appear in the shopping cart after the mic is configured.

(Due to a Shopify limitation, the Custom Shop can only order 1 mic per shopping cart; therefore the other Black Friday discount codes will not work. Contact us if you wish to order two or more custom shop mics; we'll send an invoice for the actual configuration you specify.)

Shipping for "Black Friday" Microphone Sets

Domestic US - we offer a free shipping option, but we only recommend it if your delivery address is a business. The free shipping option does not include insurance, nor a signature requirement. If packages are stolen from your porch, FedEx/UPS/USPS will deny the claim, and the loss would be your responsibility. Please consider using a shipping option with insurance and/or signature requirement to avoid these risks.

International - The website's check-out system struggles to predict shipping rates accurately, and might over-charge for some bundles. If we see that you've paid too much for shipping, we would rebate the difference. We try to subsidize shipping costs, not profit from them. :-)

*The Fine Print

The LC edition coupon does not apply to the Mini K87, because that model is nearly sold out.
