1/4″ TRUE CONDENSER CAPSULE
The Gemini II has a 1/4″ capsule handcrafted and individually tuned in our factory. Thanks to a larger-than-life capsule, true condenser technology and ultra-precision parts, the Gemini II delivers a sparkling, pristine high-end typically only found in the most expensive solid-state microphones, while maintaining the rich, thick tonality of a tube mic.
SWITCHABLE BASS-CUT AND PAD
Not just for vocals, the 150 Hz bass-cut filter and -10dB pad make the Gemini useful for loud and heavy sources like drum room mics and booming timpani.
DUAL VACUUM TUBE DESIGN
Most microphones use a transformer to optimize the mic’s output impedance and couple the mic to the mic preamplifier. With the Gemini II, this optimization is accomplished with a second vacuum tube, negating any high-frequency roll-off typically incurred with a transformer.
HAND-MADE ALL-METAL HOUSING WITH GOLD XLR CONNECTOR
The Gemini II’s hand-made all-metal housing, gold-plated XLR connector and gold-sputtered diaphragms ensure maximum reliability in any and all sonic settings from studio to stage for years of demanding use.
TRANSPARENT AUDIO TRANSFORMER
Designed for rich, musical performance and superb isolation in any environment.
SOLID FLIGHT CASE + WOODEN STORAGE BOX
The Gemini II comes packaged in a wooden presentation box next to its custom shockmount and robust power supply, all within a secure and solid flight case.
DISCRETE CLASS-A AMPLIFICATION
Delivers the sonic character and performance expected from sE’s legendary microphones with enormous headroom, ultra-wide bandwidth, and quality without compromise.
