The latest mic offering from Groove Tubes!
Groove Tubes introduces the VELO 8, their first foray into the ribbon mic arena. The name 'VELO' is derived from 'velocity', since ribbon mics were classically known as 'velocity microphones' early on, while the '8' is for the VELO 8's figure-8 pickup pattern. Groove Tubes is able to churn out amazing mics that far exceed normal bang-for-the-buck ratios, while producing some amazing high-end studio electronics. Bringing together the most modern technologies along with classic ribbon design, all at a price that studios and musicians can afford, the VELO 8 is quite a mic!

Groove Tubes VELO 8 at a Glance:
  • Neodymium for maximum sensitivity
  • Versatile
  • Accessories

Neodymium for maximum sensitivity
The Groove Tubes VELO 8 is a velocity (ribbon) type studio microphone that features a large (2" x .25") ribbon element. The VELO 8's dynamic design is activated using Neodymium, a rare Earth magnetic that offers maximum sensitivity output and wider response compared to standard dynamic microphones. It offers a velvet-smooth response that ribbon mic lovers will immediately appreciate.

Versatile
Engineers and producers will feel comfortable using the GT VELO 8 on virtually any vocal and instrument source, and like the classic ribbon mics, VELO 8 is particularly great for smoothing out the rough edges on sources such as horns, guitars and brassy vocalists. Operating in a figure-8 polar pattern, it's an excellent choice for ensemble recording as well.

Accessories
GT's VELO 8 includes both a hard mount and a new GT SM4-PF3 shock mount with attached pop filter for ease of setup in any miking application. The microphone itself is protected by a custom designed moisture resistant aluminum storage case.

Groove Tubes VELO 8 Features:
  • 2" x .25" ribbon element
  • Neodymium for maximum sensitivity
  • Figure 8 polar pattern
  • Shockmount and pop filter included
  • Custom-designed moisture-resistant aluminum storage case
