SWITCHES, BUTTONS AND LEVERS

You need them every day: Switches, Buttons And Levers.
From vintage switches to modern buttons, from huge rusty levers to small rotary knobs, we got out to record a wide range of them so you are settled for every scenario.

We scouted for devices that had the most interesting sound character to them. We visited a prop warehouse and picked all the devices that appealed sonically to us.
We also went to a train museum to deliver you heavy and massive sounding levers and switches and inbetweens.
Sounds you will love using in your sound design.

To give you a wide range of flavors every sound was recorded with three different microphones. Changing from set to set.
The setups included the following microphones: Sanken CO-100k, Trance Amulett Piezo, Schoeps MS set with the extended body, Schoeps Cemit, and the Sennheiser MKH 8050.

When possible, we recorded at different distances, or with different mic patterns, so each sound is provided in different styles and transient proportion.

As a quick go to option we included a mixdown version for each file - combining the best qualities of each microphone.
Last but not least a photo of each recorded device is added to the artwork of each sound file so it will show up in your Soundminer search.
