Microphone No. 0001

The first of a revolution.

This isn’t your average clone. It’s my interpretation of what a great large-diaphragm condenser can be when every microphone is built by hand, measured individually, and assembled with the kind of attention usually reserved for vintage studio equipment.

Every microphone is built one at a time, tested, biased, and inspected before it ever leaves the workbench. No assembly line. No mass production.

Features

• Cardioid large-diaphragm condenser

• RK-87SE capsule

• UTM-87 output transformer

• Individually hand-biased JFET

• Selected vintage film capacitors

• Vishay Dale precision resistors where applicable

• Switchcraft XLR connector

• Individually measured frequency response chart included

• Signed letter of authenticity

• Unique serialized microphone

Built by Hand

Every solder joint, every component, and every adjustment is completed by hand. Each microphone receives its own frequency response measurement and final listening test before shipping.

No two microphones are completely identical, and that’s part of what makes each one unique.

This isn’t about recreating the past.

It’s about building something worthy of becoming someone’s favorite microphone.

Included

• Mic No. 0001

Individual Frequency Response

This frequency response was measured individually for this microphone using a calibrated comparison process and is provided as a reference for this specific unit.

While every measurement is performed carefully and consistently, it is not intended to represent an anechoic laboratory calibration. Small variations in environment, positioning, and equipment can influence the measured response.

Please allow up to 7 days handling time. Each microphone made to order and is delivered with a brand new capsule and transformer.
