FOUR ICONIC MIC CAPSULES

THE WORLD’S ONLY TUBE MIC LOCKER IN A SINGLE PACKAGE
Bottle Mic Locker features four interchangeable Bottle Caps that deliver distinct tonal characteristics—like having a mic locker full of tube mics at your fingertips. Bottle Mic Locker enables any recording engineer to accomplish a full vocal mic shootout with just a single mic on a single stand. Simply hot swap between capsules to find the sound that brings out the magic in any vocal performance.
- Looking for the right mic for your vocalist? The Bottle Mic Locker makes the process of auditioning mics faster and easier. Now you can move quickly between classic and modern sounds to find the right match for your talent.
- Layering multiple vocal tracks? Instead of using a single mic for all of your lead and backing vocals—which can result in a muddy-sounding mix—use a different mic capsule for each vocal track. They will blend into a rich, balanced and colorful palette.
- Need to capture the right sound to match the vibe of the song? Choose the right capsule and let the Bottle do the work for you while you track—instead of spending hours afterwards with EQs and plugins.
YOUR NEXT TUBE MIC COULD BE FOUR TUBE MICS
If you’re thinking about investing in a new mic, consider the creative power and flexibility that Bottle Mic Locker brings to your studio. Shoot out all four capsules to find the right sound, layer tracks with different capsules for richer, larger-than-life mixes, and explore new tones for your instruments—all with one portable package. The system comes housed in a road-ready SKB® hard-shell case, complete with microphone, four capsules and power supply. Now you can show up to any recording session with your own mic locker in hand.
