iTunes         Spotify         Youtube           Patreon Matthew McGlynn is the founder and owner of Roswell Pro Audio in Sebastopol, CA. A self-described microphone nerd, Matt's first audio project was RecordingHacks.com, which attempted to describe every microphone ever made. It gave him an excuse to buy a *lot* of microphones — absolutely necessary for the research, so far as he told his very tolerant wife. Having way too many microphones gave him the opportunity to take them apart to find ways to make them sound better. He started MicParts.com to sell microphone upgrade parts and kits, bringing joy and sonic self-actualization to DIY aficionados around the world. But because not every recording enthusiast also enjoys solder fumes, Matt founded Roswell Pro Audio, a microphone company whose products come already put together. Roswell Pro Audio borrows from the research and development work done by MicParts, but takes its products in a different direction. Roswell's designs distill the various capsule and circuit combinations into best-in-class offerings that have won acclaim from musicians, home studio owners, and Grammy award-winning producers and engineers.
