Continuing in the rich tradition of innovation at EMI, dating back to the early 1930s with Alan Blumlein, the father of \u2018Stereo\u2019, the company\u2019s first coil microphones, velocity \u2018ribbon\u2019 mics and the \u201cBlumlein pair\u201d technique, Chandler Limited and Abbey Road Studios introduce the first new EMI badged microphone in over a half century, the \u2018REDD Microphone\u2019.<\/p>\n

Designed by Chandler Limited Founder and Chief Designer, Wade Goeke, the patented REDD Microphone<\/a> represents a shift in traditional microphone design, bringing together historic circuitry and the heralded EMI REDD.47 preamplifier sound in a new and unique way.<\/p>\n

Visually, the aesthetic is unmistakably classic, an ode to a gilded age of audio; however, the REDD Microphone is not a U-Type clone or derivative of any other microphone.<\/p>\n

The Chandler Limited REDD Microphone is a large diaphragm tube condenser microphone, combining mic and preamp into a single, beautifully handcrafted professional recording device. Featuring the vacuum tube based REDD.47 Mic Amplifier<\/a> circuit directly coupled to a custom handmade premium platinum membrane capsule, the REDD Microphone can be used with or without an external preamplifier.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

This new and unique microphone design, fusing the mic capsule to the historic REDD.47 line amplifier circuit, provides the shortest possible distance between the two most important elements in the recording chain.<\/p>\n

The proximity of the REDD Microphone\u2019s custom capsule to the internal tube mic preamp, allows it to deliver a larger than life full-bodied sound, with a velvety smooth top-end.<\/p>\n

Rigorously tested at Abbey Road Studios on a variety of sources and against some of the most famous and classic microphones in recording industry history, the REDD microphone excelled.<\/p>\n

Abbey Road\u2019s former Chief Engineer, Peter Cobbin-<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00abDuring the development I have had the opportunity to road test this mic on the best of acoustic applications. Abbey Road has one hell of a mic collection and by making comparisons to other legendary and vintage microphones<\/strong> has given us a serious benchmark to work to.<\/em><\/p>\n

Typically for recording an artist like Sting I would use 3 classic microphones and choose the best. \u00a0For recording rare Stradivarius cellos worth millions I would reach for something really special. On almost every application from acoustic guitars, hand percussion, vocal artists to full symphonic orchestras, in my comparative testing The REDD mic shines above them all.<\/strong> \u00ab<\/em><\/p>\n

The \u00a0Chandler Limited REDD Microphone was designed to handle a variety of source material, including: vocals, strings, piano, drums, bass guitar, electric and acoustic guitars.<\/p>\n

Features available from the microphone body, include: REDD.47 Mic Amplifier<\/a>, providing nine gain selections, from +4 to +33db in the \u2018NORM\u2019 position, extended gain and punch in \u2018DRIVE\u2019 mode for more tonal and coloration possibilities, switchable Cardioid\/Omni patterns, 10db Pad, and Phase reverse. Continuous output and low-contour control are accessible from the high-quality external power supply.<\/p>\n

Shockmount, 25\u2019 Mogami microphone cable, PSU, and custom molded flight case, featuring high-density rigid foam, are included.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0Actual PSU differs from early promotional images, the final release PSU was updated, adding a jewel light to the front panel, and relocating\u00a0the power switch to rear.<\/p>\n
