sE Electronics Gemini II + FREE Project Studio Reflexion Bundle

Full Description

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.

DON WAS "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

TROY VAN LEEUWEN - QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE 'In this day and age of digital recording, anything that can add character to the signal path is worth it's weight in gold. with a microphone like the Gemini you can really push the limits.'

Resolution "with the sheer quality of sound the Gemini produces [it?s] another triumph for SE.

SOS "Fantastic for placing your vocals right at the front of the mix? [it will] impress the hell out of your clients?"

Mixdown (Australia) "I don?t usually get excited that much about microphones, but this one made me really stand up and take notice"

Performing Songwriter "The Gemini will impress anyone who comes to sing or play into it"

Resolution "It?s an impressive looking beast to put on the end of a microphone stand? SE?s engineers have been brave and resourceful, [and] in doing so they?ve come up with a very respectable microphone that has a sound all of its own; sufficiently different and impressive in sound as well as appearance to justify its price point."

sE Electronics Project Studio Reflexion Filter Vocal Booth

After 3 years and many poor imitations of SE's now industry standard design, they have gone back to the drawing board to produce what many budget concuos customers have so desired... an entry level Reflexion Filter product which actually does the job properly!

Due to patents pending on their original design, competitors who have tried to emulate the success of SE's original RF Pro have not managed to do so succesfuly since their designs are limited, and as a result, so are their performances.

The Project Studio RF uses the same basic design as the Pro version, and while it can never be fully as effective as its more expensive big brother, it easily ouut performs copies and for project studio use is just the job. The metal frame is lined with the same patented polyester fibreboard as the Pro version uses for its outer layer. This material has extremely good acoustic absorbtion properties; much better than simple foam products. This is then further lined with a high density 'crystal' foam with curved undulations rather the cheaper and less effective ribbed, medium density foams that are widely used by other companies.

The result is a product which looks fantastic and 'sounds' even better when recording vocals and acoustic guitars... its not an RF Pro, but it's the best of the rest!
