Full Description

Legendary status

You're probably wondering where you've seen the Gemini II before. It looks pretty familiar right? This microphone has been the centre piece of many Paste Magazine sessions. From Foy Vance to Sigrid, the Gemini II has faithfully captured the voices of many legendary artists. Now, it's at your finger tips.

High quality sound and long lasting life

There's good reason why the Gemini II sounds so great. Each capsule is made by hand and is tuned by humans. There's no robot assembly or compromise on quality here. The all-metal housing, and gold spluttered diaphragm ensures that this tube microphone is designed to be consistent in quality and have a long-lasting life.

Excellent all-round microphone

If you're recording loud sources and are worried about inappropriate levels saturation being introduced then you have nothing to fear. Engage the -10dB filter to reduce the microphone's sensitivity. This makes it ideal for up close on drums and guitar amps. The Gemini II is an all-round work horse.

Reviews

"We have used the sE Gemini-II on various sessions at Strongroom Studios, and they stand up to the best valve mics in our collection. The Gemini II is clear, full and detailed sounding. We bought two for Strongroom, and several of our clients who got to use them have put orders in for their own mics without hesitation." - Rob Kelly, Strongroom Studios
