Differences between FlashTrack DSP microphone and AR1 key chain recorder
About FlashTrack DSP microphone
The Flashtrack DSP microphone is the perfect tool for music content. Its large diaphragm condenser capsule guarantees a crisp and clear sound foundation. The built-in digital signal processor (DSP) empowers musicians to shape their tone and significantly enhance the audio quality of their work. The impulse response (IR) technology brings the characteristics of epic dynamic or ribbon mic to Flashtrack, expanding its versatility and inspiring creative ideas. With Flashtrack, creators can effortlessly express themselves and create with unbridled enthusiasm.
FlashTrack comes with built-in digital signal processors, which allow users to directly adjust the microphone’s recording EQ and add effects like reverb and compression without additional software or plug-ins. Imagine adding some compression to make your podcast sound smooth; tweak the EQ a little bit to make your guitar strumming have more definition; add some reverb on your vocal for a subtle sense of position and space. You can do it all !
Through a high-performance digital signal processor, Cloudvocal is able to put two types of Impulse Response (IR) that we meticulously captured in the studio into FlashTrack. One is an iconic ribbon that gives you precise bass, warm mids and elegant highs while the other is an iconic dynamic that delivers the classic sound of FM radio voices. With the IR technology, you are able to change the characteristics of FlashTrack and hear the difference immediately.

Not recommended. Although it is possible to connect to speakers or mixers for live performances, this is not the intended use of FlashTrack. This may result in feedback due to the placement of the loudspeakers. Therefore, we do not recommend using FlashTrack for live performances, especially for those unfamiliar with audio equipment.
So what’s the difference between FlashTrack & ISOLO + AR1 ?
Here’s a comparison table that sorts out the differences
| Recording method | ✅ Pros | 🤔 Cons |
| ISOLO + AR1 | Close-range recording minimizes concerns about environmental noise, allowing you to perform outdoors while live streaming. No need to set up a mic stand for capturing high-quality audio. | The backing track is in mono, and cannot be input via Bluetooth. ISOLO’s supported instrument range is more specialized, limiting its versatility across different instrument types. |
| FlashTrack | FlashTrack is more suitable for various recording scenarios, both for instruments and vocals. The recording quality is superior, supporting up to a 192KHz sample rate. Backing tracks can be input in stereo, and it also supports Bluetooth backing track input. | It is limited to recording or live streaming and cannot be used for live performances. The audio capture results may vary significantly depending on the environment and the positioning of the microphone. |
For musicians who primarily perform with a single instrument but occasionally need to record, the ISOLO + AR1 combination is a versatile choice that balances performance and recording capabilities. However, if you play a variety of instruments and often share your work online with friends, the FlashTrack is an excellent option for significantly enhancing audio quality.
