SE Electronics GEMINI MK2 condenser microphone and filter

General

The Gemini MK2 is a powerful piece of technology by SE Electronics. This is clear to see from the specifications of the condenser microphone.

If features a 12AX7 tube in the preamp which, in combination with a 12AU7 tube on the output, ensures a warm and detailed reproduction of the sound source. Relive the olden days, but with the addition of modern technology via the Gemini MK2, which sounds like an old-fashioned tube microphone.

The Gemini MK2 features modern technology like a bass filter that filters out ambient noise, making your recordings even clearer. Also, the Gemini II features a 10dB pad, a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, a signal/noise ratio of 12 Db and a maximum sound pressure of no less than 135 dB. Its cardioid pickup pattern ensures that you will never record anything in the vicinity that you don't want to register!

The Project Studio RF uses the same simple design as the Pro version. Its metal frame is aligned with the same patented polyester hardboard. The material has exceptional acoustic dampening properties, which are greatly superior to simpler foam layers. This is further aligned with a highly dense crystal foam with bent waves, which is very effective.

All this effort results in a good-looking product that looks and sounds even better when you are recording vocals and acoustic guitars.
