Concerning this piece, one thing is sure: it can not be used as a clip mic for TV talkshows. Every other use is possible. Its core contains connections of two EF12 tubes and two optional output transformers which are different by coil windings as well as in sound. Signal can be directed to the vintage transformer which provides huge vintage sound or to modern one, so the sound is wider and more linear . In combination with F7 capsule, which is our own exact replica of M7, you will be stricken by full and pleasant sound. It sounds like hybrid of U47 and ELA-M251... but it’s a very successful bastard... It is possible to connect it not only with our own capsules such as F7, but also with originals of M7, M8, M9 which were produced for CMV563 type. The bias switch on the PSU changes operating point of the tubes. There is used a 9-position switch. Movement of operating point involves variety of mic sounds. From softer, where you can comfortably reduce sibilants (hiss) and the other unpleasant middle frequencies, till real aggressive sound which can be used for example for a little less expressive voices. Also you can set the switch in position -0- to make neutral sound of the microphone. Accessories: PSU with bias switch, cable, safe case. Switch for changing output transformers is placed also at the PSU. These are the reasons why -galaxy- of sound combinations is rising there. Of course, in smooth steps. We consider this microphone as our flagship. Concerning the sound, mechanical workmanship and electronics.
