DirtBox Live?

The DirtBox is a distortion effect box for microphones in the studio but this year we've seen it make many appearances on stage. If you've seen Puscifer (drums), Billie Eilish (drums) or Blindgirls (vocals) recently then you've heard the DirtBox in the mix.

All DrAlienSmith products are creative tools that help capture unique sounds without over complicating the recording process. They are designed and made by studio engineer Al Smith in his workshop in the Perth Hills, WA, Australia.

By putting the DirtMic circuit into its own enclosure you can now add analog distortion to any microphone. Great for vocals, drums or anything!

Low end capture is what this electret condenser mic with a 1.8m (6ft) hose attached to the front of the capsule is all about.

We've installed a phantom powered distortion circuit inside a Superlux harmonica microphone, creating the ultimate dirty effect mic.

The Capsule8 is a figure 8 dynamic microphone. Similar to the Alien8 but with a single capsule and smaller body for easier positioning.
