Review Quotes

"Having experienced the luxury of the SPS422's sound and its controllability, working with conventional mics is always going to seem just a touch primative.... The only con I can think of is that life will never be the same when the review period is up."
Paul White, Sound On Sound, UK

"The voice sound of the SPS422 is really very attractive. It is bright and well balanced , and although I couldn't more fully define it, it sounds warm.... The control panel has been designed by someone familar with the pressures of studio working; nothing has been left to chance... The SPS422 is totally unique in its abilities, and all this is available at a price that is directly comparable to standard studio condensor microphones."
Keith Spencer-Allen, Audio Media, UK

"The resulting image is a convincing as any you are likely to hear, with extraordinary precise localisation and breathtaking depth"
Dave Foister, Studio Sound, UK

"Throughout my tests , I had the sensation that an engineer far more experienced than I live within the control unit , making me look better than I deserved.... I suspect that many users will agree with SoundFields claim that the system provides wide image recording capabilities that are superior to conventional methods"
Arthur Bloom, Mix Magazine, USA

"The size of the SPS422 capsules made dramatic improvements in the sound qualitiy on this Steinway piano. Each note was clearly defined and uncoloured. Notes below middle 'C' benefited especially. It was a beautiful , rich sound that allowed one to ponder the harmonics and overtones missed by lesser microphones."
