CAUTION BIG DYNAMICS
THIS DISC IS FOR PROFESSIONAL REVIEW ONLY
Use caution on first playing as some of the tracks do reach nearly 0bB。
SEVERAL OF THE TRACKS MIGHT SCARE THE CATS!
IsoMike? ("Isolated Microphones") is an experimental acoustic baffle system, to address the interference inter-channel sounds that results in compromised fidelity. For these 4-chaiinel recordings. The microphones were suspended on lour arms, separated by IsoMike? baffle.
Most baffles absorb sound from mid- to high range frequencies; lower frequencies are more difficult to absorb. Here, the unique shapes of the IsoMike? baffles are advantageous. As lower frequencies flow around tile heart- or egg -shaped baffles. They are scattered, effectively dissipating their energy.
Eliminating line-of-sight between the microphones seems to lower some fidelity robbing up cancellations, this reveals a layer of extreme detail and a sense of increased sensitivity. As such we took great care, therefore, to reduce the noise level within the auditorium during the recordings.
All recordings were made at a low enough level to assure that no clipping occurred, therefore you may need to raise your volume control more than when playing some commercially available CDs where the volume has been "normalized" and/or compressed.
Since there is NO limiting, the dynamic range might surprise you, your system or your pets. So be VERY cautious the first entire playing so as to not damage amplifiers or speakers.
These tracks contain no gain changes or other such processing, so some tracks will be al a softer or louder level than other tracks. However, the dynamic range within a track is the same as the original live performance.
Small groups may have a performer-lo-microphone distance of 10-15 feet, larger groups would have performer-to-microphone distances up to 60 feel. At no lime were the microphones in a "close-miked" configuration. All recordings were made at Weber Stale University (WSU). Performers were students, faculty, staff and guests of WSU.

Various Artists《動態王6》SACD
IsoMike最新為發燒友炮製的Super Test SACD，顧名思義是專誠為高尖發燒友測試音響體系和力水用的示範級SACD，供專業音響校訂使用，所以簡單俐落稱為「動態王」更是貼切 。
IsoMike是美國高級發燒音響線材品牌Kimber Kaber開發的專利錄音技術 ，即是以四聲道屏障分隔來拾音，配合獨家的系統來進行，以多塊巨型的心形擋板分離多支Neumann M150拾音咪進行定位收音，藉此令同步收音時的每一個聲道得到最純淨最真實最傳神的原有音色。
全碟21 tracks，總播放時間達79分鐘23秒，由於製作人Ray Kimber刻意將錄音的電平設定得極低，所以在初播放時會發覺聲音略為比平常的細聲，切記不要將音量鈕得過大，以免燒機。說回本碟，屬SACD四聲道錄音，內容包羅萬有，10首輯選自過往6張代表錄音最精彩部分，另外11首屬全新錄製作品，全部擁有極強的音樂性 。先說新錄音部分，第1、2、7、8、9軌同屬重頭鼓聲專集《High Altitude Drums》，5首鼓聲各顯不同激節特點，有管弦樂配地方節奏鼓擊，分隔度和層次感表現卓越:另外的多人軍鼓式合奏和嘉年華式鼓奏同有別開生面效果，細節和動態盡皆鮮烈明確。11是鋼琴三重奏古典曲，錄音傳真度極高，現場感表現很真確，鋼琴、小提琴以至樂手演奏時的細微聲音都很清晰，尾段激奏效果更震撼，攝人魅力強大。17和18均是Dr. Vicktor Uzur的大提琴獨奏，拉弦強弱、速度和按弦等所有聲音都無遺盡現，還可清楚分別出細碎聲音之別，一氣呵成。19是結他獨奏，弦線聲清脆細節很豐富，格調迷人，氣氛浪漫，予人很享受的美感。最後兩首鋼琴獨奏是Robert Silverman彈莫札特，一慢一快對比強烈，琴聲堂音細節和按鍵聲都很真確，整台鋼琴的體型極之準繩，小心強彈時動態，聲效凌厲，令人拍案。此外，選來Fry Street弦樂四重奏的激越拉奏、Joe McQueen and Frinend’s 的醇美爵士樂現場即興以及Sonolumina的室內樂和之前數張《動態王》最「正」段選，錄音無疑滿載代表性，而且音效夠爆棚，絕對值得收藏。
