From Our Research Team:

Very Versatile Mic!

Looking for an all-around performer that can do anything and lend a bit of tube warmth to what you're recording? Check out the Groove Tubes GT60. This sleek beauty easily handles vocals, acoustic instruments, and much more. Using Groove Tubes' exclusive Disk Resonator capsule with a 3-micron diaphragm, the GT60 is very effective at adding warmth and depth to any sound source. The Class A triode circuit design is loaded with a low-noise GT6205M tube for extremely quiet operation, especially for a tube mic. The cardioid pickup pattern keeps the GT60 focused and limits bleed from external sounds. The GT60 ships with a power supply, cable, and shockmount. Sure, it's an amazing deal for a tube condenser, but above all, this is an incredible-sounding mic - period!

The GT60 is a side-address true condenser that features a hand-assembled, hand-tested 1.10-inch diameter capsule. The incredibly thin 3-micron evaporated-gold diaphragm with Disk Resonator technology provides incredible sensitivity that delivers a sparkling, transparent sound across the full frequency spectrum.

Groove Tubes' clean, fat-sounding tube technology combine with an all-brass capsule to produce a smooth bottom and vintage tone that's perfect for capturing and enhancing great vocals. Use this mic to smooth a thin or brassy female vocal or impart a big "chesty" tone to any voice. The GT60 is also great for acoustic guitar, piano, drums, percussion, and literally just about anything else-including recording stereo performances when paired. Unlike other large condenser mics, the GT60's extended frequency response is ideal for accurately capturing the realism of just about any sound source. Groove Tubes' rigorous quality control also insures that the GT60 mic is within +/-1dB of the "golden" microphone spec. The proprietary design even allows you to purchase a single mic exhibiting four distinct patterns, saving you the expense of buying multiple microphones. Includes switches for -10dB attenuation pad and low frequency roll-off filter (75Hz).

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
