<h1>Manley Reference Mono Gold Microphone - Multi-Pattern Tube Mic</h1>
<i>Multi-pattern tube microphone with CK12-style American-made capsule, open grille, and continually adjustable pickup pattern - hear deep into a room, capturing nuances and subtleties.</i><br /><br />The Manley Reference Mono Gold Microphone is a statement, quite simply, of the finest microphones that money can buy in the pursuit of truly accurate musical recordings. The Gold Reference Series employ Manley's own design of large capsules (1.25 inch overall, 1 inch diaphragm diameter) which are executed to precise tolerances made possible by modern micro-milling machinery available today in California. The capsule rings and back-plates are milled from solid brass. The gold diaphragm film comes from Germany and is tensioned using proprietary techniques by David Josephson ensuring capsule-to-capsule constancy, combined with the speed, "air", and superb ultra-high frequency response you have only dreamt about.
<br /><br />
The all-tube electronics in the Manley Gold Reference Multi-Pattern Microphone are built around two triodes in cascade forming an entire gain-block. Manley switched to a dual-triode 12AT7 tube, easily obtainable and replaceable, mounted in a ceramic socket. The output is coupled through a MANLEY output transformer of unparalleled quality and substantial physical size employing nickel laminations with "hum bucking" bi-filar windings, encased in mu-metal. The polar pattern control is continuously variable between the OMNI, CARDIOID, and FIGURE 8 positions vastly increasing this mic’s versatility.
