PrimacousticTriPad

The TriPad (set of three) is a tripod microphone stand isolator designed to reduce disruptive resonance and noise from the studio floor, stage or drum riser from entering the microphone and contaminating the recording.

When recording, capturing the true essence of the instrument is achieved by placing the microphone far enough away so that the instrument along with the direct sound field will be take in. As you move the mic away from the source, the sensitivity of the microphone is increased, and background noise invariably gains prominence.

Noise, like sound is a vibration. Common sources are street traffic, footsteps, heat and air conditioning systems, and other instruments. These are transmitted through the air and by vibrating through solids such as the floor and a microphone stand. The TriPad eliminates floor-borne vibrations by introducing a ‘spring-like’ isolation pad that essentially floats the microphone stand and decouples it from the floor.
