testimonial
I recently installed very old fixed gain tube mic pre-amps on the drums in my studio. Even though I had strapped them for the lowest output I could (26dB), it became quite evident rather quickly that I might need to get some pads to help control the input level from the mic to the pre... and so my quest began.
I looked at all the offerings on the market, yet the amount of control I needed warranted more than just a single -10 or -20dB pad... I needed something that would give me selectable options, which narrowed the field even more. I just did not want to spend between 40.00 to 80.00 for pads so I could have these options. So I looked into sourcing the materials and building the pads myself.
While on this search I ran across the Karma Pads on ebay, so I went to the companies website to check out the product and found exactly what I was looking for. In fact the cost of these pads were cheaper than what it was going to cost me to build a similar pad. Except the Karma has an added bonus feature of having a phase reverse switch on every connector along with not one, but two independently switchable -10dB pads. They are housed in a sleek black aluminum body along with white printing on them making them very easy to read in tight situations. This feature along with silver recessed switches against the black body give them a very classy expensive look. As the switches are set back no unexpected accidents should occur. That said, a "tweaker" will have to be kept close by to adjust these pads.
Only negative I can point out is that the female side of the connector can seem loose due to the little bit of play left when two cables are connected together. I can assure you that they snap together and lock just fine but there is a small gap between the cable head and the aluminum housing. *An O-ring from a mic cable itself could eliminate this problem if it was to really bother anybody.
As I see it, bang for the buck there is no better bargain than these Karma pads on the market today. For 20.00 each you get a very good looking easy to read pad, selectable for up to -20dB plus a phase reverse switch... every studio should at least have a couple Karma pads in their mic locker.

I used the reflexion filter last night and was very impressed with the results. In a completely untreated room with wood floors it reduced the ambience to almost nothing. I used it to track both lead and background vocals through my Karma K-58 and they came out great!
