The Studio Projects T3
vacuum tube mic is based on classic 1950's era designs, combined with present
day technological refinements. It is a versatile
microphone with abundant applications in the studio from pianos and strings to guitar cabinets and saxophones. Also a serious vocal
mic, the T3 will please even the most discerning ears.
The T3 is a variable pattern
vacuum tube (valve)
condenser microphone. It features our 1.35" (34.5mm.) precision dual membrane
capsule coupled through a minimalist tube circuit designed around the 12AY7 (6072) triode and a
balanced transformer output. Pattern control is variable between
omni directional,
wide cardioid,
cardioid,
supercardioid,
hypercardioid and
figure of eight via a nine-position switch located on the front of the remote power supply (SPT3). This allows the T3 to be used in all manner of recording situations whether as a room
mic, a single point
mic for bluegrass or as a spot
mic when
attenuation from the side and rear is needed. The circuit design of the T3 uses as few components as necessary to prevent added
noise and
coloration. A hand selected 6072 "dual triode"
vacuum tube is used for its low
noise, sonic characteristic and reliability. The T3 provides warm transparent
sound associated with large
capsule tube microphones and it is the absolute stand-alone value in its price class.
As a result of uncompromising dedication and advanced production capabilities, Studio Projects will continue to broaden the range of quality pro
audio microphones & electronics for today's recording environment.
