1.2 Product Overview
The Waves: Abbey Road – The King’s Microphones plugin is a digital audio processor,
created in concept by Abbey Road Studios and engineered by Waves. The plugin is
based on three historical microphones currently held by The EMI Archive Trust, which
belong to the royal family and were used by its members in public addresses.
The microphones are:
o
King George V (circa 1925) – Carbon microphone
o
King George VI (circa 1936) – Dynamic moving coil microphone
o
Queen Elizabeth (circa 1936) - Dynamic moving coil microphone
These iconic microphones were used to record the score and speech dialogue for the
multi award-winning hit film
The King’s Speech.
