Descripción
The Violet Design Garnet is an electrostatic vacuum tube microphone. Its vintage sound is warmed by vacuum tube circuitry and an output transformer. The Garnet uses a specially designed large dual-diaphragm transducer, which can be adjusted to nine different polar patterns. The Garnet’s multi-layer brass mesh grille keeps frequency response and sound details clear while its massive body construction provides low mechanical noise and solid bass response.
An external elastic suspension shockmount is included to protect the Garnet from stand rumble, subsonic vibrations, and external shocks. Its Class ‘A’ fully discrete internal vacuum tube preamplifier provides high output, low impedance and low distortion.
The Garnet has a large humbucker, custom-wound audio transformer that balances the microphone’s output, separating it from external interference and providing additional analog warmth to the sound. A soft starting, smart power supply is included.
The «Garnet 67» uses dual diaphragm VD67 capsule and is designed for that classic warm sound we know from the classic vintage microphones. It has a slightly wider cardioid polar pattern.
