Genesis-HE: Mullard 12AT7 tube

The Genesis-HE features a real Mullard 12AT7 tube. We had to put 'real' in there, because this is an authentic UK-made Mullard, which were originally made for the RAF. It's partially responsible for the warm mids, tight low frequencies and clean trebles of this vintage-sounding studio microphone. Moreover, the Genesis cuts right through the mix and delivers a highly detailed sound. A special power adapter is included, as well as top-quality cables.
