The new SE Electronics Gemini Dual Tube condenser microphone breaks the mold! Like no other microphone ever made, the Gemini Dual Tube is exactly that -- TWO vacuum tubes in a large diaphragm transformerless condenser microphone. SE's engineers have created a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Pretested 12AU7 and 12AX7 dual triodes deliver smooth, natural, full-range sound with super low noise and unheard-of sensitivity and reach. Its internal shock mount and cardioid pickup pattern make it perfect for distant or ambient miking, stereo X-Y recording, and where rear axis rejection is necessary. SE's proprietary Dual Tube design (a world first!) and super-large 35mm gold diaphragm work combine to make a creative tool that must be experienced to believe. For concert hall, studio, or on location, the Gemini Dual Tube does break the mold. And you'll be pleasantly surprised that it won't break the bank.
