Introducing the SE Electronics Gemini II dual tube condenser microphone, a superb microphone offering a seemingly contradictory combination of valve warmth, crispness and definition. The updated version of the SE Gemini adds a beautiful, natural character to a signal path and is an essential piece of kit for studio producers.

Valve circuitry is celebrated because not only does it prevent signal deterioration, it also adds a warm and rich timbre to recordings. The result with such modern valve devices as the Gemini II is an incredibly large, detailed and intimate sound reminiscent of the 1960s classic valve microphones. The Gemini II’s valve sound is achieved with its dual valve design featuring 12AX7 input valves coupled with 12AU7 output valves in place of the traditional transformer.

Despite being faithful to such classic microphones, the Gemini II includes high-end clarity normally associated with high-quality solid state microphones thus extending the capabilities of the Gemini II. It works well not just recording vocals but instruments too, whether it is acoustic guitars or percussion and wind. The Gemini II has a 20Hz-20 kHz range, 10db pad and hand built Aluminium power supply unit which reduces unwanted noise. The Gemini II can give your recordings a unique timbre making SE Electronics ultimate design a hugely desirable microphone for your studio setup.

The sE Electronics Reflexion Filter is a ‘portable vocal booth’, a revolution in recording technology. The Reflexion Filter is a portable device for recording live sources with reduced room ambience. It is an advanced composite wall which is positioned behind any microphone by means of a variable position stand clamp assembly which ships with the product. The main function is to help obtain a ‘dry’ vocal or instrument recording.

This is especially useful in studios without proper acoustic treatment, but can also be used to help record takes in control rooms, where the performer also has to operate the recorder, or in rehearsal studios to reduce ambient noise. The sE Electronics Reflexion Filter also helps prevent any reflected sound reaching the back and sides of the mic. Its shape and size have been carefully tested to maximize absorption while keeping ‘coloration’ down to only around 1dB, and leaving the microphone’s polar pattern unaffected.
