Having co-developed PNO.1, Alain Roche is also the first artist to use
it in a recording session.
PNO.1 is a new type of transducer intended to capture the low register
of the instrument directly from the board, as a complement to
traditional tracking methods. PNO.1 allows the sound engineer, whether
on stage or in the studio, to use a carefully selected pair of
microphones without having to compromise between, for example, a
particular timbre versus the representation of a comprehensive
frequency range, or between the amount of lows versus non-feedback
security
