AKG SolidTube Microphone

The AKG SolidTube Microphone implements the classic design architecture of tube circuitry while maintaining an affordable price point. The cardioid studio condenser microphone features the ECC 83 vacuum tube, resulting in the warm audio signal characteristic of tube technology. The Solid Tube's large screen (housing) assembly reacts minimally with the capsule, creating a broad +6dB peak in response above 10kHz, +/- 2dB over most of the range. The cardioid polar pattern minimizes off axis noise or audio at an excess of 20dB at 180 degrees. The end result is a large diaphragm studio condenser microphone tailored made for solo vocal and instrument recording in the studio.
Other features include a pre-attenuation switch to provide 20dB of reduction for capturing sources that would otherwise overload, and a low frequency roll-off switch to eliminate low-end rumbling noise below 100Hz.
Shock-mount, flight case, wind screen, and cable are all included.
- Solid State and Tube Design
- The AKG Solid Tube uses the ECC vacuum tube providing the warmth and presence of higher grade tube microphones.
- Wide Dynamic Range
- The Solid Tube features a dynamic range of 110dB, providing plenty of headroom for vocal and instrument recording.
- Cardioid Polar Pattern
- The cardioid polar pattern minimizes noise coming from off-axis sections of the microphone.
- Sophisticated Housing Design
- The large screen assembly's minimal reaction with the capsule creates a broad +6dB peak in response above 10kHz, and the cardioid polar pattern minimizes off-axis noise at >20dB at 180°, resulting in sound capture that's perfect for solo vocal/instrument studio recordings.
- Pre-Attenuation Switch
- The Pre-attenuation pad provides 20dB of attenuation when micing audio sources that would otherwise overload and peak the element.
- Low Frequency Roll-Off
- The Low Frequency roll-off switch eliminates low end rumble and noise at 100Hz.
