From Our Research Team:

Great Vocal and Instrument Mic!

With the Groove Tubes GT50, you get a very affordable large-diaphragm condenser that outperforms mics costing three times as much! From acoustic guitars to guitar cabinets, the GT50 brings warmth and clarity to any recording. The GT50 also fares extremely well as a vocal mic, with the FET circuitry responding as though there were a tube present in the signal path. The GT50 is an excellent choice for anyone that's searching for a great all-around mic that can literally handle anything that you throw at it.

The FET circuitry of the GT50 responds in a very tube-like manner, adding a touch of warmth to your recordings. The GT50 has a solid low end and clean and clear highs without boominess or harshness, yet the FET circuitry isn't so warm that signals sound overly colored. Groove Tubes' exclusive Disk Resonator design naturally extends high frequencies to improve detail and depth on both vocal and instrument recordings

Since the GT50 is so warm and uncolored, it is great for any number of sources. Acoustic guitars and vocals shine through the GT50, as do guitar cabinets and drums. In fact, just about everything shines when you place the GT50 in front of it. When you hear the GT50 in person, you won't believe how little it costs.

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
The GT50 works great for metal, death metal, industrial or black metal vocals. I have used it with my band and sold this to many of the types of bands I have listed. It's well balanced and allows the vocals to cut through the mix. Add one more GT50s in the mix with a Supre and you have an amazing stereo mic setup. It's also worthy of acoustic piano or drums.
Matt Adams
I picked this mic up in a pinch for a quick demo. Boy was I surprised! The GT50 has a character and warmness to the sound that you usually have to spend a lot more $$$ for. Whether you are looking for your first studio mic or looking to expand your mic collection without breaking the bank, this is a great choice.
