Description:

Incredibly huge, detailed, and intimate
 The Gemini II dual valve microphone is a no-holds-barred piece of microphone history. The dual valve design means pure valve warmth from the 12AX7 input valve, coupled with a 12AU7 valve on the output stage. The result is an incredibly large, detailed, and intimate sound – reminiscent of the classic valve microphones from decades ago, but with a thoroughly modern twist.

  • Transformer less dual vacuum tube design
  • Classic tube sound meets modern precision
  • Hand-crafted 1 1/4” true condenser capsule individually tuned in our own factory
