The sE Electronics Gemini II is a marvel in the tube mic world. This warm- and rich-sounding beauty has the benefit of not just one tube working its magic… but two – one 12AX7 on the input stage and one 12AU7 on the output stage, instead of a typical transformer. What’s the result? Magical, in a word. But to be more descriptive, we’ll tell you that you get an unbelievably large sound stage. Sources sound totally detailed and absolutely intimate… a response very reminiscent of the classic tube mics from decades ago. At the same time, though, the Gemini II offers all the top end you’d find from the best solid-state microphones out there on the market right now. A tube mic with a twist – now that’s how we like it! The Gemini II deserves a spot in any mic aficionado’s locker!
