Bock Audio

Retro Gear Shop is an authorized dealer for Bock Audio Microphones, handmade in Los Angeles, California USA and come with a 3 Years warranty on Parts & Labor for all microphones and power supplies.

"Inside every Bock microphone is a collection of very high end and unique-to-Bock parts influenced by experience rather than textbooks. The direct knowledge of the studio of what made two great vintage mics sound different from each other proved invaluable to David in designing Bock Microphones.

All brass hand built hand tensioned capsules with the more robust 6 micron diaphragms, offer transparency without artificial brightness. Multisectioned Bock design transformers offer a deeper and smoother low end than found in any other production microphone. Inductor based old school power supplies offer dynamic range for our discrete audio amplifier and longevity for our tubes that is only found in vintage models. The sum of Bock’s unique parts and David’s design make a big difference in inspiring and capturing a great performance.

Bock manufacturing employs all hand construction techniques with mics all built 5 or 10 at a time using techniques that are impossible to execute in high quantity. Bock mics are easy to repair and service. This is why higher volume production microphones that are designed to be manufactured but not repaired cannot compare to Bock hand built mics.

We are very proud of our business model in a world of “more is better” and “one size fits all” mass production. Bock Microphones offer the highest level of performance, equal or better to the classics, proving it IS possible to “build it like they used to”. With Bock Microphones, you own a microphone destined for a lifetime of extraordinary studio use."
