Gemini II Tube from sElectronics




GEMINI II

The Gemini II dual valve microphone is sE Electronics ultimate design. 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 in place of the traditional transformer. The result is an incredibly large detailed and intimate sound reminiscent of the classic valve microphones from decades ago, but with all of the top end you’d normally associate with the best solid state mics on the market.

‘I am incredibly impressed by the seemingly contradictory combination of warmth, crispness and definition that was captured in the tracks by the
sE Gemini and sE Reflection Filter....the songs we were working on had dense arrangements yet the sax cut through without ever sounding abrasive or disconnected from the rest of the track.....it was a beautiful, natural sound ­ we didn't even use any EQ !’
Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, The Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson
