INSIDE GMT SERIES MICROPHONES

* About the slow start phantom

the GMT electronic circuit is powered by the + 48v phantom power supplied by your microphone preamplifier the voltage feeds the amplification of the microphone and the polarization of the capsule (capacitor) the GMT has an exclusive passive circuit which allows the voltage + 48v to rise gradually in (3-4 minutes) this avoids slapping the transistor and the capsule and preserves the electronics from ignition stress. when you switch off your phantom power supply a ballast empties and prevents the capacitors from discharging their energy in the circuit, this avoids voltage peaks and once again preserves your microphone.

Give your microphone time to warm up 3-4 minutes before starting your recording.

Le GMT-212 est un hommage au microphone européen classique vintage.

inspirée par le légendaire c12 produit dans entrée 1953 et  1963 ,

 L'étage d'amplification est le subminature tube triode militaire  6S6BV

choisi pour son faible bruit et sa très faible microphonie indispensable pour un microphone haut de gamme.

Les composants sont soigneusement sélectionnés après de nombreux tests approfondis et une grande attention aux moindres détails.

"I ordered this mic on the advice of a sound engineer friend and frankly I only regret one thing, and that is not taking the plunge long before ..."

" Son détaillé, précis, vivant, cristallin, il y a ce qu'il faut en basses comme en aigus, c'est équilibré, bien mieux que tous les micros fabriqués à la chaine…
ceci est un micro professionnel, ce n est pas un gadget, on est dans du très haut de gamme "

" its response curve is exceptional, it is both precise and warm, nothing exceeds everything is tight, I never have bad surprises on my Recording. in room it's a joy, in overhead it's just perfect, alive, no "harsh" frequencies.

For me it will easily become the new studio standard. and it's Made in France (Brittany) "
