Front End Audio has a fantastic deal on this factory direct B-Stock microphone! This Globe Vintage arrived to us directly from Violet where they deemed it as "B-Stock" for whatever reason. This microphone has been fully tested by JZ Micropones and works perfectly! In the nature of being B-Stock, do expect a minor cosmetic issue but rest assured that it will have absolutely no impact on the functionality. Otherwise, this microphone is brand new and carries a full manufacturers warranty. This is your opportunity to grab a deal on a "just like new" Globe Vintage from Violet!
The Violet Globe Vintage Microphone uses VD47 large size dual diaphragm capsule providing a sweet and warm, vintage vocal microphone sound and is designed for detailed and neutral sound - with transparent highs, smooth midrange with minimal presence and close to flat low-end response. It has cardioid polar pattern. The Globe Vintage is a cardioid studio microphones is designed for world-class recording situations where sound quality and musical character is of utmost importance.
The Globe Vintage utilizes an isolated spherical head assembly constructed of brass mesh for maximum acoustical transparency. The large dual-diaphragm true electrostatic condenser capsules use the highest quality 6-micron Mylar film. The diaphragms are tensioned and adjusted on precisely-made brass backplates and sputtered with a special-formula gold mixture. This process gives a faster impulse transient response without sound coloration or low-frequency reduction and adds the ability to handle louder sound pressure levels. The internal solid state preamplifier of the microphone is a Class 'A' fully discrete transformerless circuit, built using only the highest quality components. The circuit is designed to achieve the highest audio standards and provides a flat frequency response, high dynamics, ultra-low self-noise, and very low audio distortion of all types. "The Globe" should be used with high quality, regulated 48V phantom power. Rugged microphone construction and 2 internal shockmounts (one for the capsule and one for the electronics) effectively reduce stand rumble, outside infrasonic interference and mechanical shocks.
The The Globe Vintage requires quality and stable 48V phantom power. It is available from most external microphone pre-amplifier and mixing console inputs, or from separate phantom power supply. Some units, though rated as 48V sources, may supply inadequate or unstable phantom power, which can result in distortion and degraded performance. Please check your phantom power source under real microphone load.
