Vocomotion Releases The Thumper Throat Microphone
July 25, 2006
Vocomotion announced today the release of The
Thumper TH70, the latest update in The Thumper series of throat
microphones designed for vocal percussionists, beatboxers, and bass
singers. Like previous Thumpers, this new model is designed to pickup
throat sounds at the source, optimizing the bass response by filtering
everything but the lowest, thumpiest frequencies using Vocomotion's
active filtering technology. The TH70 features a new water-proof collar
assembly, new removable mic strap, and an extremely reduced retail price.
"I've known for a long time that the price of the Thumper mics was too
high for the average vocal percussionist," said Freddie Feldman, creator
of The Thumper. "I've streamlined the manufacturing process and
redesigned the collar completely, bringing the costs down significantly.
Now performers at all levels will be able to enjoy the improved bass
response that The Thumper offers."
The Thumper website has been completely overhauled
to herald the release of this new model. Built using Flash, the website
provides a great way to get to know The Thumper throat microphone.
The new Thumper TH70 throat microphone is available from Vocomotion with
a retail price of $250 (USD). For more information, visit their web site at www.thethumper.com.
