SE ELECTRONICS Gemini II

Description

The Gemini II model represents sE Electronics' most "ambitious" project: the dual-tube design ensures authentic tube warmth from the input 12AX7 tube, coupled with a 12AU7 tube in the output stage instead of the traditional transformer. The result is a perfectly detailed sound that recalls the classic sound of "historic" tube microphones, but with all the features one would expect from the best "solid-state" microphones currently on the market. sE – Sound Engineering – is universally considered one of the 'top brands' in the studio microphone sector, with a well-established international reputation; suffice it to say that in its short history it has already become the number one brand in Great Britain and with the fastest growth in Europe. Used by professionals of the caliber of Stevie Wonder and Courtney Pine, sE transducers have established themselves in recent years for a perfect combination of quality and affordability of microphones, as enthusiastically reviewed in major international industry magazines, numerous awards ('Mix Certified Hit' and Mia Music Awards in 2006 as ‘Mic of the Year’) and the great satisfaction with which an increasing number of professionals work with this brand can easily testify. sE microphones are made with a handcrafted production cycle; the capsules are entirely 'hand-made' (!) and the extraordinary quality and meticulous attention to detail is evidenced by the fact that each individual microphone, before leaving the factory, undergoes a specific test by sE sound engineers, not just a simple machine. After all, if a personality of the caliber of Rupert Neve has decided to collaborate with sE Electronics for 2008 to create a new range of "Rupert Neve Signature" microphones, there must be a reason...
