Product Description
The sE Gemini II is the larger-than-life answer to your vocal tracking needs.
The Gemini II dual valve microphone is 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. The result is an incredibly large, detailed, and intimate sound – reminiscent of the classic valve microphones from decades ago, but with a thoroughly modern twist.
“Awesome mic. Killed my 251 on super-rich gospel vocals.”
– Chris Fogel, Scoring Engineer (‘Black Panther’, ‘Wolf of Wall Street’)
HANDCRAFTED TRUE CONDENSER CAPSULE
As with all of sE’s true condensers, the Gemini II’s gold-sputtered capsule is handcrafted and hand-tuned by skilled technicians in our own factory. This is almost unheard-of for affordable microphones, and is a great point of pride for us.
DUAL-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 rolloff typically incurred with a transformer. This provides the Gemini II with 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.
BASS CUT FILTER AND -10dB PAD
Not just for vocals: the bass cut filter and -10dB pad make the Gemini useful for loud and heavy sources like drum room mics and booming timpani.
